Sorry, but how are people "degrading the author's work" by critisising a character, that does awful things? The lord murders and rapes, some have said this would be fitting of the time period due to the class system, where he becomes untouchable. People saying they don't like a characters actions, and recognising them as crimes, and not wanting the artist to end up with him (not that he has any choice) aren't complaining it's reacting to what the author is depicting.
The lord, is arrogant, he is abusive, that's just how it is. If you watch a film adaption of women being accused of witch craft, do you not have any empathy for the character who is facing the death penalty due to such unfounded charge, and see their accusers as in the wrong?
The art is great, the lord is portrayed well, as that unpredictable horrible character, doesn't mean people can't call out the obvious, even if it were apparently "the norm" in the time setting.
Someone who was under this comment deleted the comment. The person was downing the work, talking bad about the author, saying that Nakyum was underage.
The person deleted their comment. I agree with Diamond if you read who she was referring to. The person was saying that the author was writing pedophilia, that people who enjoy this story automatically enjoys rape of any kind. Diamond isn't justifying rape or the Lord's behavior or saying anything during that time was ok, just that people accepted it. Stop thinking about a gray area, she said exactly what she meant.
If Nakyum is underage, then even if it would have been "historically accurate" (going on some of the comments, then that person is right to be able to criticise a modern author showcasing it, as really it's no better than showing such abuse (which in yaoi logic will end up in romance) in a modern setting, it's bad enough that sexual abuse between adults is normalised in this genre. And at the end of the day, not everyone will enjoy a webtoon, it is what it is.
Exactly!
I see people here complaining about the rape. We get it, the rape is extremely bad. The painter does get rape twice however, don't sit here and degrade the artist work because it has rape. Remember that this is a historical theme BL, a time period that situations like this are acceptable. There is also murder in the very first chapter. So do not sit here and talk bad about the artist or get upset about those who enjoy this story. It's a good story, not everything has to be filled about rainbows and have lovely moments to be considered a great work. It this work upsets you, I wouldn't continue reading it.
