Coming on here to point out that you actively reading manhwas that trigger you is a form of self harm. Continuing to do it even after noticing that you get triggered (ie having an extreme emotional reaction to it like anger, sadness etc. (but also not unheard of, you can still have a sympathetic reaction without this necessarily being abt you)) is also a possible sign of addiction to that self harm. Also paired with getting that dopamine from it, it's even more damaging.
People throw this saying around as haha jokes but it genuinely is exactly what it means. Go outside and touch grass. Reading rape manhwa upon rape manhwa gets to a point and by doing it you're actively destroying ur minds and nervous systems. It's normal to consume media like that but not at the rate a lot of really young people are currently and especially without any safety precautions or knowledge on what they're even reading.
This may seem dumb to many but it's inevitably true. Seek help by just talking abt stuff to a support system or by just simply taking a break and reading something wholesome. It'll seem boring, but honestly thats exactly what your brain needs especially after all that quick dopamine and self harm.
Edit: if you are a healthy functioning adult this doesn't refer to you (it can but thats not the point im trying to make) you are fully allowed to read whatever you want but hopefully in a way you're able to distinct fiction from reality. I'm talking about the minors on these sites reading and consuming dark fiction that can't and it is actively messing with their heads. One of which is a very possibly self harm technique that a lot are doing without even realizing it.
