There's no psychological side. All the trauma the top went through is just the author way to justify the abuse the bottom is put through. It's just porn and the fact the author added a whole bestiality scene before the fans told them it was weird af proves it, they made the dude the worst possible man alive to justify his rape and torture that's it. And he literally does ends up with his rapist both leads do
Well it technically can be though... the way the author frame the characters and the characters emotions plus thier actions can be close to real life which could be considered as physiological. People can also sometimes like to read these stories to calm thier own trama from being in situations like these though it's not for everyone. I do really dislike rape, but the people who read those stories shouldn't immediately be classified as a person with a race fetish. Thats just mean. :(
Sorry, but I don’t quite understand your point. Are you saying that real-life rapists deserve to be raped, but fictional rapists shouldn’t face the same treatment in fiction? Also, I believe this story does qualify as psychological, especially when you consider how the uke’s mentality gradually changes as a result of the seme’s manipulation. The psychological aspect lies in how the manipulation affects the uke’s thoughts, emotions, and perception. Sorry again if my words come across as offensive.
I'm saying that a story is a rape fetish story where the only thing that happens is explicit rape scenes over and over that are tried to be justified by making the mc the worst person on earth (that he obviously forgets) the writing sucks ass and it's on the same level as all the other psychological stories where the only thing that happens is rape rape rape. There's nothing new or intriguing and the way people fight tooth and nail to defend it by saying "uuuh it's psychological" are dumb. It's badly written rape fetish slop. Idc if a rapist gets raped I'm not going to see that rape especially not in graphic details and sexualized for the watcher enjoyment
I agree that the rape scenes are unnecessarily detailed and that the story does fetishize rape. However, I think the OP is talking about the plot, which is quite rare. In this story, the rape victim retaliates by raping his rapist, and they still end up together. In most stories, the bottom is raped by the love interest but eventually ends up with him after just two chapters of rushed redemption.
it has everything to do w this post. u want rape in everything u read and think it has a psychological aspect when it's just torture porn. also using ur trauma as an excuse to say that those who are "anti-rape" shouldn't give their opinion and stating how rapists don't need a "redemption arc" is crazy work. wtv.
I stopped reading it bc I can't seem to connect to the top. Maybe if they showed what happened to the top first to like connect with the readers, and not just directly jump at the revenge story, it would be nice. But since its just all rape rape rape, the author just really wanna write something to satisfy their rape kink

Reverse Thinking is genuinely a good story. It is overly hated because people focus on the rape smut rather than the psychological aspect of the story. This is exactly what should happen to every rapist. In usual bl manhwas, the bottom gets raped but ends up with his rapist w no revenge arc. This story is the exact opposite of the usual plots. The top is hated for no reason. He was the victim first, his life was ruined. So yes he has every right to do whatever he is doing rn. I would do all this to my rapist if I ever got the chance tbh
