I’m really 50/50 on that story, it got psychological potential, it could be Jihwan turning into his dad and doing the same to soo-young with no romanticization and showing how horrific it is, but somehow I’m sure it’s gonna take the usual bl route of romanticized rape and they somehow end up together with redemption when this shit is not redeemable
Latter would suck because the author portrayed how obsessive anti-social can be. If they want to make it more authentic, Jihwan can only pretend or try to be "normal" by being romantic but always fail because of his condition, esp if never treated by a professional. Soo young may accept or receive him, only after getting treated and seeing good results - but that would not be fun and exciting would it? So yeah, it won't go that route.
Agree with you. Romanticized rape is disgusting. No matter how messed up someone is, it is never a legitimate excuse to hurt someone else.
Very much so. Even if they go the normal route, his character is going to be OOC if they're trying the forgiveness chasing bullshit. He's manipulative not bad at love.
This is actually such a good fucking story, im glad this isn’t romanticized the way MC’s mental anguish is represented it so fucking amazing like genuinely this is one of the best story I’ve read
I’m on chapter 16 and the way mc lacks reaction from Ml literally saying he would have ed him ??
yeah it’s what authors do when they wanna fetishize rape, treating rape or abuse as the main recurring theme and then downplaying it’s seriousness impact on the person being subjected to harsh treatment. this isn’t worth your time if morals get in the way because this is for people who like rape
I genuinely thought this wouldn’t be romanticized because of the spoiler saying this story would depict gang rape which ended in suicide but im starting to have the same impression as you. Why tf is MC not reacting this shit is so ass ??
when i read it the first time i didn’t have this opinion but the uke being unfazed by such traumatic experiences gives away to me that his character was written in a way for people to romanticize, I know people react differently to trauma but making rape the whole theme of the story and then having the character act like it’s not a big deal or even the people around that person acting like it’s not a big deal gives away to me that it’s just fetishizing rape and abuse. i promise you this story isn’t really worth reading even if you are into that type of thing it’s just not worth the time
Honestly as a victim of SA this was just sickening to see, I don’t mind terms of SA when it’s written good and psychological but seeing how often it’s brought up by the ML in disgusting ways and the MC’s lack of reaction it just made me feel sick
I actually just realized this was not tagged psychological and it’s concerning asf, does the author have no intention of making it psychological ? After all the rape and unhealthy shit its supposed to be a love story ? I think the tags don’t reflect this manhwa well tbh there’s sm heavy topics
The plot has so much potential i want the revenge arc and the couple to be happy, its def a hard read. I just REALLY TRULY hope thta the point of this isnt to get off on rape, i refuse to drop because i want to see the ending T-T
Can’t wait to see the revenge arc, i just hope author is writing those scenes to disturb ghe reader and not as a rape fetish thing
Not gonn a lie the last chapter got me negatively, if the goal is to make us feel sick then its well done.
