yeah, and now they’re entangled, and the cycle keeps on. It’s a personal choice I think. In my opinion, it’s the worst to keep getting entangled with the person who did all that to you (I’m referring to top being raped) - just seeing the face of the person would contort my soul, and living the rest of your days seeing the person and feeling like that would be the worst. If revenge must be had, did top really have to keep sleeping with him? If I were in his shoes, that would be too disgusting for me. So my interpretation is that, top is also pretty obsessed with bottom. Won’t argue that bottom deserved the karma. But also I’m not a proponent of the route top chose to traverse.
I don’t like that top had to turn into the kind of person he is now because of bottom, and I may disagree with his choice and method, but it must have been really really difficult to go through what he did - in that state, where you endure what cannot be endured, I can understand why the hatred might have consumed him and driven him to this path, and in retrospect, I cannot blame him. I just find it sad in the end that he had to resort to this because of the suffering inflicted on him. Now he’s done what shouldn’t have been done - crossed the line to monstrosity as bottom had.
As a person who went through something similar and a littlebit more, I literally would do the same, I wouldn’t be able to have sex just for revenge with the rapist, but I would make him suffer. I do have a tiny bad feeling at the moment for Jiwook, but because on the fact, how a person can break and lose himself, not actually for him, but for that feeling you died inside and you barely can see or feel things right, you fear every sound and touch, and you afraid from the tomorrow what will come, not knowing what you’d prefer more, living or never waking up again.
u cant even spell raping right, who are you to tell me i have the mental capacity of a 13 yro youre reducing the story to its premise instead of engaging with how its written- like yea revenge rape plot by itself isnt morally complex this story is different because it deliberately refuses to give the audience a clean moral answer. it explores trauma, justice, revenge, guilt, empathy, and the cycle of violence without presenting anyone as purely "right or wrong" and thats exactly what makes it nuanced and morally ambiguous and complex and the fact that youre dismissing that says more about YOUR mental capacity rather than mine.
Yeah I spelled it wrong cause English is my 3rd language but what do I expected from a typical American when your country only have 20% of mfk who speaks another language and only 79% literacy rate lmao. I don't need the story to give the me a clean moral answer buddy, but maybe you needed it cause you're STUPID af. Every 2rd rated action Hollywood movies already explored the cycle of vengeance and violence and the audience already got tired of how repetitive it is.
Just admit you have an underdeveloped brain and that's why you're easily impressed with anything
I totally understand what you are trying to say. In this case the top was beyond traumatized. He was 13 or 14 years when he had to go through all that. That destroyed him physically and mentally. He is person who went through psychologycal trauma. While it's true he shouldn't have to dirty his own hand. But he is not normal either. The bottom destroyed his innocence.
its funny that youre bringing up literacy rates while completely missing the point of what i wrote literacy isnt "how many languages you speak" or "how well you spell" its the ability to understand and analyze what youve read. ur arguing against a point i never made and why r you assuming shit about me as if u fucking know me, me and my family are immigrants and english is not my first language either. must js be a skill issue on your end
mind you- i NEVER said reverse thinking invented revenge stories or that everyone has to agree with a characters actions. my point is that the story is morally nuanced because it DOESNT GIVE EITHER CHARACTER a CLEAR moral high ground. both characters make choices that are understandable while also being ethically questionable. THATS what moral ambiguity is. u can think the story is repetitive or poorly executed or wtv u want but saying the story CANT be morally complex because its premise is "rape victim gets revenge" isnt a proper criticism of the actual narrative and shows your inability to comprehend complicated perspectives
If you never meant it to be how well I spelled then why'd you grammar nazi me in the first place? Sounds like you're just a hypocrite tbh, and I wasn't making that as a literacy point either, I was showing stats that a typical American don't speak another language and also can't read that's why you're taking a jab at another person for making a grammatical error, which you're also arguing against a point I never made.
Mfk really just said "complicated perspectives", just a baboon saying anything. Have the top even done anything worth the word "complicated" that is not torturing the bot? the bot can't even have a reflective moment cause he's forgotten the past while the top having an inch of hesitation for doing revenge which even a moron would know that they should put that in to make him not comically evil, gets called "complicated". Ask a 13 years old to write Reverse Thinking and they'd write it the same way.
Wait I forgot that any story that doesn't give you a clean moral answer is deep to you cause you're that stupid, my bad g (・ω・)
Immigrant or not you haven't denied that you're living in the US, and you even have the audacity to get annoyed when someone told you to buy raw for 5$. I don't give a shit if people from 3rd world is reading illegally cause their currency is weak while you have the privilege of high currency and still plays the beggar without 5$. You're either a real kid or just a pathetic loser, have your parents told you to get a job yet? Who am I kidding, they probably wouldn't wanna hire someone who's dumb enough to think reverse thinking is deep ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

I recently read the whole novel. I must say the bottom deserves everything happening to him. Many will disagree. But a rapist's deserved punishment is rape. He not only raped the top when he was a MINOR but also several girls. He ALSO let his friends join him and gang-rape the victims including the top. He also send the rape tape to the top's mother which made her hospitalized. And the top genuinely just had pure crush on the bottom. But the bottom was a spineless bitch, feared being out as gay invited his friends and raped him. Both deserve each other. Their match was made in hell. But I side with the top. If this manhwa started with the pov of the top. Nobody would pity the bottom.
