Bruh, why did you betray him and fuck that other guy if you're just going to go crawling back?
These MCs have no spines, the second get a whiff of cock they completely forget they're their own person with agency, lol.
hawon was raped by both of them so.... it's not as if kwon taeha is absolutely innocent for hawon to choose him without blinking. and like hawon has been fighting for agency throughout the story, that's one of the reason he's running around, escaping from everyone just to be his own person. he made some very, VERY bad decisions, but he's just human, he just chose what he thought would beer best for him (not considering the fact that it turned out bad) but yes.
You cannot go to somebody and agree to have sex with them, then claim you were raped. That's not how any of this works. You cannot consent to sex and then change your mind and say it was rape.
The only one who raped the MC is the pedophile.
He had sex with them for money and power. That's just sex work. Sex work isn't rape. Having sex with someone you don't want to have sex with for money is just sex work.
He didn't consent a few times though???? Just because you're a sex worker that has sex for a purpose does not mean you consent every time you have sex. Even if he had consented at the start, if he is in the middle of it and he takes away his consent VERBALLY, which he did, it does then turn into rape. He was raped, and he had stated that multiple times to Taewha AND Aeil, not to mention how much the mc said he never wanted to have sex in the first place to them. Js bc he consented a few times doesn't just throw all nuance out of the window dawg...
Money is incentive, it's not coercion lol. You use money to corrupt people // debt collectors threaten people with violence. It's not the same no. Otherwise, all work contracts would be void, since we get paid...
Sex work is work (also fyi some ppl like their job) and you can be abused at your workplace (here rape) like any other workplace. Paying someone doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with them. You still gotta ask every step of the way if they're agree with doing more and the additional price. Just like you would for any other service work.
As someone who had an extremely abusive childhood and was treated terribly by my parents and siblings I'm really struggling to relate to this MC.
I wouldn't piss on my siblings if they were on fire and would gladly shake the hand of whoever set them on fire but this guy is desperate for more abuse. It couldn't be me. Couldn't be.
There r other circumstances u should consider yk, like how some children react very differently to abuse considering how young he was manipulated into thinking he was a girl so that issues about him being an illegitimate son would not cause bloodshed against his brothers to the throne, leaving him neglected and cast aside from his family without knowing any political issues. Yet this one older brother of his showed affection and seemed to truly care for him when all his family viewed him pathetically, like what child would not feel very attached to him n then hatred to the person who had killed that very person infront of him? Also let's consider how many years psyche was isolated from the world inside that tower leaving his development have issues both mentally and physically that is y he lwk is a twink n then still thinks of his in some-way abusive brother someone he trusted the most, someone who really cared for him, n somewhat loved him.











This manhwa is frustrating AND THAT'S A GOOD THING.
It's frustrating because it has built a world and characters that invoke emotions and then throws them into highly engaging dramatic situations.
I'm going to bitch about it sometimes, like come on my guy you're going to go back to the ML so why didn't you run to him the second this stupid Lister marriage was suggested! But that's only because the writer has me hooked.
