Depiction of violence is not an act of violence. Just because the author portrays it, doesn’t mean they support it.
That’s what I would have said until I read the summary for the sequel, Full Bloom. Brother, it gets SO MUCH WORSE. I don’t know if the author has other works but they for sure checked every possible toxic and abusive box out there.
I’ll check out the book series you mentioned, sounds kind of interesting
I felt the same way at first, but little by little I realized it was just another webtoon that romanticizes and sexualizes violence without really saying anything meaningful. Some of the scenes are genuinely horrifying.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the series ! The novels are absolutely amazing ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I read the first 15 chapters in my native language, then went to check out a bit of the rest of the novel in Korean (urg...)
It is truly very very dark. I would have loved it if the horrible scenes weren't so systematically present and so visually explicit. I only like the visual atmosphere, the art direction, and the slow pace of the storytelling. That’s it, it stops there lol. Basically, 1% of the story/webtoon.
The author must have a psychological issue to write such horrors. It is not art to pretend to be some kind of “artist-author” in order to justify rape, unspeakable abuse, and an abyssal emptiness. No, this is not art, nor is it a story.
When I think of a work that deals with trauma and violence, I think of the All for the Game series, where the author makes us understand the horrors experienced by the characters in a brilliant way, without ever describing them explicitly, and that takes nothing away from the horror... quite the opposite. That’s true talent.
Don't waste your time with this webtoon.
