Honestly it's all over the comment section so you can just check it.
The thing is some can't fully sympathize with the seme for now cause there's a huge perception between just reading the summary and actually reading the full experience of what happened to him. So can't really blame those who currently favors uke's current circumstances
Saying “real victim” is a bit arbitrary. There’s no set way on how to respond when you’re a rape victim in a hostage situation, but he IS breaking. His parents disowned him and he has only one friend who fucks him over. His only choices are 1. Try to fight back against someone in peak physical health. And 2. Die, which he obviously doesn’t want to do. He feels he has no other option but to ingratiate himself to his captor.
Yeah, trauma responses vary a lot in real life — no one's arguing that. People freeze, like, fight, or run away depending on the situation. But calling 'real victim' arbitrary misses the point here. This is a rape fetish / dark revenge manhwa, not a documentary or therapy case study. Juyeon's calculated ingratiation, manipulation, and full role-reversal is written specifically for the kink of 'you reap what you sow' + extreme power exchange, not realistic victim psychology. Plus, how Juyeon stops hating his OWN grapist...adds to the fact that's it's a fetish manhwa.
Well, I think regardless of who we are talking about, it’s not really productive to argue what a real victim’s psyche looks like. As sad and unfortunate as it is, some rape victims feel sympathy for their rapists. Some abusive victims are so isolated that they turn to the abuser for comfort and emotional intimacy. They’re both each other’s victim and you could argue that they both have stockholm syndrome. It’s definitely kink work, but the only thing you can genuinely argue is unrealistic is the way Jiwook’s asshole isn’t outside of his body atp.

This poor guy, all i felt was sadness for him. He may hsve behaviour issues but it does not warrant to all this.
