Angst is not rape
and this is not rape. it’s hate sex. let’s not use words like that when it’s not applicable.
This isn’t rape for goodness sakes it literally just the sex
Didn’t get to finish my comment but it’s literally just hate sex it’s just aggresssive
No literally the comments are irritating me like I’m sorry not everything is about fluff and even stil if the author rushed the whole angst arc y’all would be complaint about it l
literally like i love and have read many wholesome fluffy stories with little to no angst, but this just isn’t one of those. it was clear from the description of the manhwa. a guy who puts on a facade of being kind and wholesome but is actually a dick? clearly that’s going to cause some conflict and has some deeper meaning behind it other than “oh that’s just how he is.” i so badly need these people to gain some reading comprehension.
So in chapter 88 when he’s says ‘stop’ ‘wait’ and the male lead thrusts in what would that be called!! I like angsty stories, but you can have angst without rape. Yeah it is complicated but if you think what he did, to start the intercourse was consensual idk what to tell you. Iam not trying to say I was affronted by this cause there is obv way worse on this site. But let’s call a spade a spade
i agree, you can have angst without rape. and this isn’t rape. this is an example of you not understanding cultural nuances. i thought we all understood at this point that, as annoying as it is, the “stop, wait” type stuff in east asian media is hardly genuine and reflective of the characters actual wants due to the cultures general view on sex and sexual pleasure. you are also ignoring the fact that dohu told him to continue. this is, at most, a bit coercive and a bit dubcon. what this really is though is rough, albeit a bit forceful, hate sex. this is not rape.
I'd say this is angry sex rather than hate sex, tho. Because it's driven by their pent-up frustrations and desire to protect each other from their own self-sabotage plans. But, the point it, I can't call this rape. Both of them chose to do this because each has their own stakes. Juheon, wanting to save Dohu from getting involved with him as he's planning to sacrifice himself to take down his family, and Dohu, with the intention to prevent Juheon's ruins. Their method isn't the right way, but this is the only way the /current/ them know
yes i meant angry sex, my bad lol. and yes ur so right about all of this!!! this isn’t the right way to handle it, i think everyone knows that, but it’s all they know right now.
reading these comments makes me realize some of yall can’t handle a story with depth and characters that aren’t 1 dimensional. i can’t tell, do yall want a short story where everything is resolved super easily and the characters have no internal or external conflict or a complex story with many factors and interesting characters? so many of yall are blatantly misunderstanding the story and the characters themselves. like i said in my other comment this is the exact same stuff i see people say about Midnight Men. this story was always going to have some angst and the characters were always troubled and complex. just because it wasn’t as in your face in season 1 doesn’t mean it wasn’t there and doesn’t make sense. i saw this stuff coming from a mile away and im surprised yall didn’t
