While I really don't mind the noncon in manhwa (heck, I go for stories with that tag sometimes)... this was possibly the one instance where it was absolutely not necessary. I mean I felt it coming when Yuri started "drinking so much", that drunken sex was gonna happen (most likely with both of them being drunk) and just because after he sobered up, he said he enjoyed it/ went on and on about how beautiful Xianlu is, doesn't negate the fact that this was non consensual. He was *PASSED OUT DRUNK* and got hard. that is not reason to finger and fuck someone no matter how much they "like" you... and I guess I'm just pointing this out because the story glosses over that part, acts like it was fully consensual, uses anecdotes like Yuri saying he liked it but that's like saying "oh the SA victim orgasmed because they were asking for it/liked it" which I think is ridiculous. even the story tags did not have rape in it, so I had to add it. 1. I get that fictional SA is not the same as rl SA. 2. I don't mind it in stories, heck I actually like it most times. 3. this is being talked about because there was literally NO CAUSE for rape. as the story was progressing, Yuri would have consensually had sex with Xianlu anyway. 4. The writer brushed it off. at the very least, label them (and approach the storytelling) as a toxic love pair, but trying to paint them as "romantic" in the context of rape is just wild to me. especially when it's literally the morning after! 5. the tags didn't have the rape tag because of how the scene was written. "oh he was conscious a few times during the night and said he liked it when he woke up"
