Why can't there be manhwas that don't have SA, r@pe, coercion, etc? I'm really getting tired of reading these types of manhwas; it's not good for mental health. 8 out of 10 BL manhwas are all the same: with a weak bottom/uke/MC/omega/etc and a dominant top/seme/ML/Alpha that is rich and abuses his power with money to get what he wants through threats, coercion, SA, r@pe, or because the MC is in debt and basically goes as an indentured sex servant to the seme/ML.... and holds them hostage and of course stockholm syndrome takes effect. IMO, if I were ever in that position, I would just exit myself; why suffer through that much torture, threats, etc....
I finished reading the novel, and I think Cheongwoo tries to fight Stockholm syndrome, but like a typical weak character, Cheongwoo (MC/bottom) and Gu Wonjae (ML/top) end up together in the end. Gu Wonjae does have a very small redemption arc, but IMO it should have been longer. Cheongwoo ends up getting caught after I think maybe two to three weeks of being missing; I don't remember. He was caught because Gu Wonjae's people were tailing the previous server, Hwang Seongyeon (he gave Cheongwoo the walkie-talkie: see chapters 46 & 47). Of course, being the asshole that Gu Wonjae is, he threatened Cheongwoo with his grandmother's health and the safety of those he holds dear to him, so Cheongwoo went back with him, but not before beating up Hwang Seongyeon. Although I got pissed off at Hwang Seongyeon, he got drunk with Cheongwoo and tried to take advantage of him. So I didn't feel too bad that Hwang Seongyeon got his ass beaten by Gu Wonjae.
Sighs....I just knew that server guy was pinning for uke...was really hopeful he wasn't like that...tsk....And our baby squirrel got caught in 3wks! Damn was expecting maybe half a year or something....
