People take those comments as personal attacks, and as if the manhwa therefore is bad. Stories like these are just bad when the relationship is romanticized, but Yeonwu knows damn well he's not doing anything good for himself, Taehwan knows he's doing it out of trauma, and numerous people point out how unhealthy everything is in the story. They're portrayed as traumatized people in a toxic situation.
That doesn't mean the manhwa is bad, people need to recognize that.
Agreed!
I see some people saying, "This relationship isn't toxic, they just do [insert toxic behavior]." Come on guys, they're super toxic to each other and to themselves. Consent doesn't erase toxic behavior. Toxic behavior is not a kink. A kink requires boundaries and respect, and they've got little of that. I love them though, they're both obviously struggling, and I'm looking forward to their development.
