Soooo the author has incest fetish prolly. Prolly not. Definitely not a coincidence for both this manhwa and Dawn of the Dragon or DOTD to both have incestuous premises.
The author soft launched incest dynamics in DOTD as Taehyuk's older brother has this unhealthy obsession with his younger brother that is thankfully not in the romantic sense (I saw this same dynamic in another manwha I forgot the name of), but also threw it out there that Taehyuk raised Hyo-un... Definitely made some readers raise brows as Taehyuk in that life considered Hyo-un as a son that he later on married... Again, this was something most of us can get past our stomach and over our head with enough fluff and wholesomeness. But this manhwa is also unsurprisingly in the premise of incest. Weirdly with the MC thinking with the possibility they might be ACTUAL brothers.
Idk, Sus or not the author has beautiful work and makes the best smut with wonderfully drawn poses that may or may not make up for the weirdness of it all. Keep it up author-chan
So what I’m understanding is that all these actions done by the top will be justified and stuff because of what the bottom did back then aka rape that he didn’t remember so he’s doing payback by making the bottom experience what he’d done to the top but worse. Kidnapping, dehumanizing, and all that… I mean, at least make the bottom remember or tell him what he did so he can know or smth.. y’all sure this story is written by another person and not just her commissioning a writer to write this and make their name credited as the writer so she will just be known as the illustrator to receive less backlash bc of her history of stories that are also very known to the same elements here like rape and all??? Idk man why does she always/only tackle these rape tropes bruh. Good art but at what cost
Yeah. Just innocent looking moments of the top being like “:D?” And the readers completely forget that he choke fucks the bottom every other night that he loses his voice, he pisses on the ground maybe even shit who knows, won’t be surprised if he does and also beats him half to death during sex, told people to gang rape the bottom, drugged him on the first night they’ve met, and we got some chuds saying that “dream relationship” stuff
Not at all.
I read that tanned MC and his friends/gang raped juyeon in middle school because juyeon was in love with the mc.
They send the video where he was raped to his mother which traumatized her and she ended up in a hospital.
Juyeon is taking revenge by raping him and letting other raping him.
It is worse in the novel because juyeon forces taned mc to get raped by a dog
Caesar was raised to kill, even as a child he was kidnapped and was taught to always be prepared to get murdered in the middle of the night. Surrounded by people who always want to kill him and surrounded by traitors who just wanna take his seat with Dimitri being the only person who he trusts even if it meant going on extreme measures. Him taunting Caesar about Jun leaving is like how kids taunt each other about this and that. Jun Leewon (forgive me if I got his name wrong) forgives Caesar because his actions can be redeemed. Now. Wtf does Aaron Hunter have? Bros obsessed with someone he met for 3 months as a fake bs and then pulls up this bs with no justifiable means. You’re js a poorly written character that could’ve had much potential to be smth good. Authors are sick in the head these days! So obsessed with SA and rape it’s giving “I’m projecting”. Whatever
I really like how the author delves deeper into the psychological part of these kind of traumatic abuse. Unlike *some* manhwas, ahem ahem, cough cough, but it doesn't romanticise rape at all, especially the first time MC got gang raped we could see the ripple effect or the trauma later on as I don't see it much in other manhwas. Either that or I'm just dumb.
I gotta re-read this shit and find the little details BECAUSE DOES THIS MEAN SENATOR CONNOR WAS ACTUALLY ON THE CIA'S SIDE??
basically, the original mission was to track down the drug network operating under the Mercifuls, and jay was still part of the op at the time. but everything went to shit at the scrapyard, and rolfe pulled jay from the operation after jay chose to save shin.
The higher-ups already knew jay was way too dangerous, and rolfe was a problem too since she knew all their dirty CIA secrets. turns out the drug network under the Mercifuls wasn’t even the whole story, there was also a money-laundering scheme involving senator connor and ross. gary, being one of the CIA higher-ups, knew about the senator’s dirty dealings, which is why he kept covering for him.
that’s why the CIA ultimately made ross their main target and wanted him taken out.
then rolfe put together her own off-the-books team outside the CIA for revenge. that’s why she teamed up with jay again and brought in caesar and hosung’s people (hosung is shin’s friend) as a third party. shin joined them too because he wanted revenge on Ross for Gren’s death.
that’s pretty much how I remember the whole thing, at least







Best route to actually end that if your feeling extra Yujin is finding a furniture and kill yourself with it. Can't believe I was yelling kill yourself for your sake the whole chapter seeing his helplessness T-T
