Same exact boat rn. It's like watching a car crash INTO a dumpster fire, you can't look away.
I think it’s hard not to feel some type of empathy while reading this, whether you are a rape victim or not. It’s definitely not like jinx, or 16647. Dare I say it’s more intense than obey me? Idk. And it is oddly magnetic, probably because we’re so desperate to see how it’ll play out. Me personally, I just want one of them to die. It doesn’t matter which one. (´༎ρ༎`)
personally i wouldn't say what i feel towards jiwook is empathy. its just extremely disconcerting to see a character being subjected to inhumane torture like this, rapist or not. that being said i HATE juyeon not because of his actions but rather the motive behind his actions: which is obsession, not revenge.
however i completely agree with the rest of what you said, though I haven't read obey me yet
wait to be clear which one is Jiwook ╥﹏╥ ╥﹏╥ and which one is Juyeon..
? Also dyk what the brown guy did to the pale guy cause I low-key high-key forgot
juyeon is the pale one and jiwook is the tanned one.
SPOILERS
jiwook gangraped juyeon when juyeon was a teenager after he confessed to jiwook. then he sent a video of it to juyeon's mother which caused her to fall into a coma. (i heard these from people who have read the novel, i haven't read it myself)
as a rape victim myself i usually don't have any problem reading stories like this probably because im so mentally desensitized atp and i can separate fiction from reality. however, this one is really getting to me. not because i feel bad for jiwook, no, in fact i wish my rapist would get the same fate as him idgaf. what bothers me is that it's so extremely... graphic? don't get me wrong even if this is some sick fetish content that ppl genuinely goon over, i really couldn't care less. honestly idek why im saying all ts bcz i keep coming to this story out of pure curiosity despite the fact that im not enjoying it. why am i doing this to myself
