I agree. This is just rape disguised as psychological manhwa because where is the emotional chapters when it’s just rape, abuse and manipulation. This isn’t kink, it’s worse than porn for sick weirdo’s who enjoy this stuff. And people would change the subject-when it’s clearly rape-that it’s fiction which is worse. Save your time and your mental health for something better, this manhwa is traumatising not “dark romance”.
Actually guys I am traumatized by this too. But this ain't dark romance at all. The word love and romance no where exists in this mnahwa. This is actually a psychological thriller manhwa and revenge themed.
It's not a kink. I read tha accidentally and was regretting it. Untill I got to know that the Black haired one ie Juyeon got r*ped and gng , when he was just 14... Literally by the MC. It is indeed a revenge story. Whatever Juyeon is doing now, once he got affected by the same thing when he was 14 by jiwook
But jiwook forgot all of those.
I haven’t read the novel but I did read somethings about it. That Juyeon is the victim and he got gang raped by Jiwook and the whole thing is that Juyeon is getting revenge-which doesn’t make the manhwa any better- since it doesn’t matter who is the abuser since both are rapists BUT I do think that it’s actually Jiwook’s fault since he started it and he doesn’t remember!? Anyway in the end I’m giving my opinion based off the manhwa (because obviously I haven’t read the novel) which is up until now is very toxic, but I would like to see how the whole revenge story is gonna turn out. But it’s just very toxic and traumatising. It’s genuinely not for the weak and I just couldn’t finish it it’s too disturbing.
Myself and so many people here are so god damn sick and tired of people like you coming into the comments and ripping on the author/the story/the themes/the readers for enjoying it/etc. DONT LIKE? DONT READ. It’s not hard (like we all are while reading this comic lol cope and move on to something more fluffy and romancey if you can handle intense themes like rape and BDSM)
ITS MY OPINION. Actually the internet is a free place to speak about YOUR opinion. You don’t agree with me that’s totally fine because I don’t agree with you either so if you’re actually “sick of people like me” shouldn’t YOU just ignore me? Since I irritate you that much. It’s not my problem that you enjoy this shit and I honestly don’t care since you people would always fetishise bl and ENJOY rape. You are basically mirroring your actual self in the internet as a horrible person. And you may see this as BDSM which is the definition of it is done by TWO consenting adults, so rape and abuse shouldn’t be called BDSM. It’s not like you have opened a book before, Robyn. Which marks your illiteracy in such topics. Enjoy your day, smartass. And next time if you’re gonna express your opinion (which you just tried to justify rape that I can’t handle these themes) you better learn how to communicate better. And be a better person because people are actually struggling with these stuff because it’s never taken serious because of your kind of people just love to make rape romantic and the ML can’t express his feelings so he rapes.

Want to know why I justify rape in this case since you just basically said my own opinion is less than yours/doesn’t matter like yours does because I justify it? - it’s fictional. And it’s hot. I’ve said this to multiple people in these threads: we’re all here doing the reading equivalent of watching porn for the plot. Don’t kink shame and try to make people that enjoy this stuff feel bad for their equally valid preferences. If you don’t like it, don’t read it.
And about BDSM being consensual: I know BDSM itself is supposed to be consensual. This comic doesn’t centre around BDSM itself - it just has themes. That’s all.
I never kink shamed anybody, I have my own kink, you have your own kink. But the topic is about the manhwa itself and I quote " It's genuinely not for the *weak* and I just couldn't finish it it's too disturbing." I love dark romance but you can't tell me that you enjoyed the gang rape, because THAT crossed the line that's why I said it's disturbing. I never criticised the whole emotional rollercoaster between the main characters, BUT paying gangs to rape the MC is disturbing.
That's what I'm trying to make clear is that it reached to a point where it was traumatic. But flipping it over because it's just fiction? Well I have nothing to say to that if you even like it. I read so many graphic and psychological manhwas but it was only between the main characters, so when the gangs showed up it just became unbearable.
And I just expressed my opinion on that because it shocked me, and someone could see my opinion of it as a warning because that's what the comment section is for.. discussion.
It's actually so disgusting how so many bl readers are normalizing rapes, especially the authors. Rapes in bl are so normalized and readers justify it because it's "fiction", it's hot, or the one that got raped forgave the one who raped them. But if this manhwa was straight, lot of people would actually agree with what I'm saying.
AND as you all said, this manhwa is not for the weak, I have a pretty strong mental health that's why I'm continuing to read this just to SEE how this will go and I'm very curious on the ending. I'm merely stating my opinion as a READER.
I'll be making a review once I finish the manhwa.
“I’ll be making a bad review once I finish the manhwa” - why? Why read it if you know you had it? Hey pal, we’re all into the same thing here don’t even worry about it! It’s okay if you find this just as hot as we do, you don’t need to lash out and go out of your way to try and prove that you don’t like it too

I can't fucking describe how much I fucking despise that fucking black hair dude, whatever his name is.(ML) Shit so manipulative, abusive, and other fucking more. Holy shit, I'm so pissed. This manhwa is just full of fucking rape and about the MC's suffering. And also, why the fuck am I still reading this. I don't even know if this will get better or the MC will just fucking love that shitty ML like any raped mc. I fucking hope that ml dies. I'm so glad this is just fiction, but that somehow doesn't make me feel better. Fucking hell. What was in the author's mind, perverted kinky piece of shit.
