Manifesting that both sides of your pillow stays cool!
The long ass rant just proved u never understood the story. Rape ended around chapter 55. Every sex after was pretty much consensual. 2 consenting adults made a deal thru a bet. Taekjoo knows he has nothing else to offer but his body.
Ain't it unfair to Taekjoo then? Girl he is a national criminal, wanted by the gov. If anything Zhenya is sheltering him in his island. But Taekjoo still wants out cause he is oblivious w his real situation. The story is more complex that ur "this is just rape trope"
Also u read the novel and never saw Zhenya's chara development? Im baffled honestly. When Zhenya came to korea so follow Taekjo he is nothing but a gentleman. Perfect bf even. It's a reason why he is so loved but actual readers
"perfect bf even" lmfao yeah I don't want to waste time on a arguement with you but MC literally almost got raped by ml once they saw each other after he escaped the island. Zhenya is nowhere being "perfect", girl he's a black flag. A BLACK FLAG. He's a psychopath if not a sociopath.
He might be a little less crazy than the ML from roses and champagne but he's still insane.
Yeah he did get a little character development that you would expect from a black flag but he's literally nowhere perfect lmao it's not like he was black and then miraculously turned into a green flag.
And that doesn't forgive him to all the shit ton of rape he has done to MC before.
You say 2 consenting adults and then threw a "nothing else to offer except his body" which basically means he has no other choice but to have sex. Pick one side bruh
And this is called a criticism. If y'all disagree then go ahead, you can choose to scroll, ignore, or comment your own opinion about the story but don't reply some dumb comment claiming there's no more rape scenes in the whole story when ML clearly always try to force to have sex with MC even though he doesn't want it and then MC suddenly "gives in" and do it anyways because "he has nothing else to offer but his body" which literally means he can't even make a fucking decision because he LITERALLY HAS NO OTHER CHOICE, the fuck?
And this is literally me just pointing out to the author, not the fans. If yall are pissed at me because of the fans comment. Yall can look in every social platform and see how they glorify Zhenya especially in the s2 chapters where it's literally full of noncon.

A little bit of a yappin here
So I alr read the novel like a few months ago. Because I thought the ML will have a good character development (my delusional ass) so I decided to see it. And I came across this S2 and I read it (novel) which as y'all see rn that it's full of non-con. And I'm absolutely disappointed.
The ending didn't show much of a development with the ML too. He's an ass but there's lesser non-con to→almost none I think (as far as I've read before.) but he's still a piece of shit.
And as of the continuation of the manhwa, the MC will still deal with a lot of shit but there is a little bit of a chasing arc next this arc.
This is one of the first BL novel that I've read (which had manhwa)
Honestly the only reason I've read it is because I was genuinely interested in the first season. With the unique plot and the mysterious personality of Zhenya.
My dumbahh still continued to read the whole s1 and even the novel because I genuinely thought there will be a good development but what the hell did I expected with a Black flag.
This is basically the same route as PASSION without 2nd ML or something. Genuinely disappointing, as well as the fans of this story. He's literally getting SAed every time and y'all seems to like it too and some even f.aps to this. Maybe I'm being dramatic, but y'all are way too weird.
I'm dropping this.
