Imagine calling a literal predator a victim just because his feelings are hurt. Acting like deep feelings justify a violent crime is a wild take. The only reason Juhyeok needs him is because Su-ah has been scenting him against his knowledge since childhood, systematically making him dependent. Juhyeok never promised a romance, he’s a victim of a biological imbalance that Su-ah intentionally exploited for years. Calling an assault questionable logic is an insult to victims in a world where Omegas are already structurally disadvantaged. If you have to lobotomize a character's morality just to ship them, that’s on you, but don't expect the rest of us to ignore a dumpster fire
Period well they belong toegyehr tho they gonna have a happy ending
I know this comment is about me and I never said Suah is a victim. I said the MC is also a perpetrator and they are both toxic rapists assholes. Coercion is rape. This is a story with no good guys. Rape is bad. I’ve suffered many of them. I genuinely do not understand what kind of story you think you have been reading up until now.
Dear smaragdide hi boocked me
First of all, stalking my comments across threads just because you can't win an argument is obsessive behavior. Secondly, sharing your personal history doesn't make your 'both sides' argument any less of a lie. There is no 'coercion' from the MC. Juhyeok was 100% transparent about his needs, never used force, and never ignored a 'stop.' Su-ah, however, spent years secretly sabotaging Juhyeok’s body to create a biological dependency, and then ignored literal tears and pleas to stop to commit a violent assault. Trying to label a victim a 'perpetrator' for simply trying to survive the cage his predator built is the definition of victim-blaming. If you’ve truly suffered, you should be the first to recognize that a victim responding to a groomed, biological imbalance is NOT the same as the person committing the violation. You’re not 'nuanced', you’re just desperately trying to flip the script so you can keep shipping a crime without feeling the weight of it. We’re done here.
The latest chapter is a textbook example of narrative cowardice. By attempting to balance the shock value of a violent violation with "lighthearted" rom-com aesthetics, the author has created a total structural collapse of the story's internal logic. Framing Su-ah biting his own hand instead of forcibly bonding Juhyeok is a classic redemption trap, choosing not to commit a secondary crime while currently in the middle of the primary one doesn't earn a character moral points, it just manipulates the reader into centering the predator’s "pain" over the victim’s actual trauma. The revelation that Su-ah administered a pill to an unconscious Juhyeok while claiming he’s "ready to be a dad" is arguably the most predatory development yet, as administering medication to an unconscious victim is an extension of bodily violation, not an act of care. To then pivot immediately to comedic slapstick with chibi panels and "funny" punches is pure narrative gaslighting. It signals that the "dark" parts weren't meant to be taken seriously, effectively erasing the gravity of a scene where a character begged to stop and passed out from trauma. When you use the mechanics of a crime for spice but strip away the consequences because the art is pretty, you aren't being edgy or complex, you’re just being lazy and disrespectful to the weight of the themes you're exploiting.
this comment changing my life fr
u took the words right out of my mouth
Exactly. The whole time I was reading this chapter I got so emotionally confused and frustrated cuz I really felt like I didn’t know how I was SUPPOSED to feel, even though I knew that I was pissed as fuck at suah. The “comedic” panels didn’t even feel funny.
PEOPLE WERE CALLING ME CRAZY FOR THIS
Ppl better read all of this comment istg
Worst part? ...something's telling me he lied about the pill
God PLEASE no pls don't ruin his career/dreams, I'll be mad af if he gets baby trapped then the author has him eventually be ok with/even love his baby daddy & baby.
