Okay so this was hot and everything but the "your consent was never needed anyway" line kinda ruined it for me, not them trying to sexualize domestic violence yikes like yes for rough sex but consent is still a thing even if you guys are married otherwise you're just a rapist dude, that's just common sense I'm afraid, also she seems into it I don't understand why the author felt the need to have him say that
You may be forgetting he was never a good person. His sweet love with her doesn't change that he's a killer. And apparently he proves that when he gets his memories back in the novel (right? I think he even confines her). Did we forget he tried to murder her when they met? And sexually harassed her when they first met with no memory. This mf never cared about consent. He's said he's going against his nature by being nice the whole time. You should have had the ick the whole time (in my opinion, of course. you can feel what you want).
I mean this is supposed to be a romance I don't care whether he's a good and nice person or not, he could and should still be a good partner to her, and I guess the author also forgot that he was appalled when he mistakenly thought that his past self was abusive towards her? Also I've looked at the scene you were referring to and I have to say I don't think this was sexual harrasment the way he pinned her down was suggestive but he didn't actually do anything besides that it seems he really just wanted to subdue her, I feel like this was more the author wanting this to look "sexy" than anything else not a good timing obviously but yeah
I like how you ignored the times he jumped her bones when she said "no" him being a sadistic killer is just the cherry on top. This is a "dark" romance, and this mf happens to not be a good person just cuz he cares for his pookie. If he was such a nice guy, he wouldn't have to fight so hard not to assault her. His good thoughts don't cancel out the bad. (I don't know why this is making me so passionate now)
Again never said he was a nice guy, and yes the whole "I have to restrain myself not to fuck her brains out" thing is weird af but while I admit I am a bit more lenient on this one since I love the art there's still a difference between that and having him go out his way to say with a smirk that he does not need her consent anyway, especially since as I said in my first comment she clearly seemed into it and wasn't even complaining to begin with
Rapey mf are hazardous, unless they get proper permission. So it's hard for me to nitpick what is less bad than the other if he's breaking the rules of consent anyway. But I understand you may be saying it comes down to your preference. And I respect that. By your logic tho, saying that aloud is part of the play, so if she liked it, it shouldn't be a problem either. Lines like that are common in "rape play", actually
I'm so confused I'm not sure I understand what you were trying to say I don't think that line was needed period since she didn't try to push him away or told him to stop so yeah it's definitely a problem that the author felt the need to have him say that. All in all my first comment was mostly me expressing my extreme disappointment as I genuinely, maybe naively so, hoped we wouldn't go there I thought this would be more about her slowly "taming" the violent side of him and him teaching her to be more open to people or at least to one person lmao etc as I've seen in other novels and manhwa before
You're defending a character because you're able to get over him being a murderer. But if I describe how to engage consensually in an over the top kink (because as far as I'm concerned, almost none of their sexual reactions have been consentual, therefore is not kink, but assault) you want to pop off. If you understood what real "play is", you would not be defending him and coming for me. Nothing was fine, even before he said that. To only get upset at him now is delusional, this is a dark thriller romance with a morally compromised ML. I've been reading him as trash the whole time, there's no line in the sand to draw, mf already crossed the line a long time ago. No means no.
Rape is not a kink, rape us a crime. You sound like men that turn rape and barely legal into sub categories in porn sites. Rape and violence against women being turned into kink is an instrument of patriarchy for desensitization of those issues that blur even more the lines between rape and sex in peoples minds. A man beating a woman is bad unless it is in bed? Cause she "chose" it? This is just liberal feminism at its biggest form. Kinks dont come from a vacuo, it is not a coincidence more women have "rape kinks' than men do
Force play does exist. People do it for several reasons. There's plays people do that you may not like, but if they both consent with no coercion, mutual interest, and lay down rules, it's play. I understand the urge to moral grand stand and project. But if you don't understand consent, adult play, or lack the reading comprehension to see I've NEVER even implied the ML or rape is cool, you may not be mature enough for this series. I really want you to stay safe. I can't tell if you understand that none of their steamy times have been consensual, that's the only reason I'm entertaining this "internet beef"
If someone defining what play is makes me a sex enthusiast. Then its a wonder you don't yell slurs at the dictionary. I'm demisexual, and have little interest in participating or encouraging it. I'm just educated. I advocate just as loudly about the grooming effect media has on men and women alike. Going after character is what people losing an argument usually do. I really don't think you're mature enough for this content.
So he needed to have been sexually assaulted prior to Jaekyung assaulting him for that weirdo to fully understand how bad what he did to him was? Tf I haven't read this in a while and wanted to see where this was at and omg I knew the "redemption" arc was going to be lame but this is actually so bad it's kinda hilarious also the fact that author felt the need to have the victim claim that this was consensual when he litteraly begged him to stop but was told to shut the fuck up or he was going to get beat up is wild, not them trying to gaslight us
The readers of this manwha don’t give a damn about any of the facts if they can somehow delude themselves into thinking the guy they’re simping for isn’t an abusive rapist. They’re fucking cheering this loser on for beating up the doctor when he’s literally done worse to KD. Guess it doesn’t matter if he’s more attractive.
Him being delulu and pushy was already annoying the first time and now he's even trying to take advantage of her whilst she's all heartbroken and vulnerable? She's not "your destiny" dude she's litteraly sobbing because she wants her actual boyfriend back, I seriously thought he'd finally gotten over his feelings for her tf ? So all that talk about wanting to be her friend was just complete bs yikes dude
Ikr the last panel where he's talking about destiny I really wanted to junp inside the screen and smack the shit out of him . Like I get it u like her but that's not the approach u take with someone who recently broke up and the ml also needs to stop being so fucking nonchalant like he's suffering but still aghhhh its driving me nuts
I'm gonna need that other guy to stop showing up so much so long as he refuses to be anything but a hindrance between Jiho and Taeyon, it's starting to get redundant and frankly very annoying. Dude you've had your chance and so much time, after you fumbled, to get him back but nooo he had to wait until it was too late and Jiho was already interested in someone else for it to finally click. He needs to take a hint and fuck off
They're cute and all but Dobin looking more and more like a child as the story progresses is kinda putting me off, because this isn't just about turning him into a twink when him being bigger and kinda muscular compared to other omegas was supposed to be one his main attributes, my dude litteraly went from looking like a regular grown ass man to an underage boy, it's such a shame too I really like their dynamic but I seriously cannot enjoy the story with Dobin looking like that , it has gotten so bad that I just want their arc to be over and for the author to just go on and give us the second couple already
Poor Ruby can't catch a break her entire family sucks, you cannot convince me he didn't know about the abuse he just pretends not to just like he decided to brush off Ruby's comment and behavior towards the little cunt who tried to have her assasinated SPOILER :
I heard he dies in the novel and I hope it happens quickly, he pisses me off and I do not want to see Freya happy not even for a second
Why is he even here can't he just take a hint and leave him alone ☠ also now that everyone's talking about the 1st Chapter again I really do hope Seo In isn't the one who beat him up, I don't think he'd ever do that, I'm more inclined to believe it was someone from his "family" or someone hired by them and I don't like Taegu but I don't think he will have anything do to with that mess










The rape scene was definitely not needed, if he wanted to prove his royalty to his father he litteraly could've just beat him up that was so fucking weird and disgusting now I don't even want him to end up with Gino anymore
