I'm not giving up on this or giving it a thumbs down because I can digest toxic shit. Loved Killing stalking as well, but even in that fucked up manhwa they didn't try to make out like his actions were ok and it wasn't muder. lol imagine after he killed someone and uke witnessed it but the next morning uke was like "but that wasn't muder the victim gave consent to be killed" haha.
The only thing which ain't ok, in most readers pov from what i can see from the comments is that author is trying to make rape sound like normal consensual sex.
I didn’t read this as rape normalization. It is very common for people to blame themselves for being raped. In Seob is currently being held hostage by Woo Yeon, if I remember correctly has his passport so he can’t just do what he wants freely. People can also be raped by people they are in love with. Rape doesn’t necessarily erase those feelings. I think the writer is doing a good job of showing the conflicted emotions of someone who is trapped in an abusive relationship.
The uke is a doctor Dan.
I hope I can leave a like on your reply
@Asahime: thats a fresh take. Yeah, you could say that, but he doesn't seem to have any such inner monologue or horror at what's occurred. Nothing implies that he is convincing himself that he wasn't raped. But I hope you are right and we don't just brush past this incident and it gets explored at least later on. That will be nice to see. However, if they just gloss over it without any hint at such conflicting emotions being explored I don't see how the writer can be defended.
Thanks for your perspective though, i hope you are right.
Bruh wtf. I understand Uke is scared and has always been a coward, but damn how tf does he still like him. Seme basically forced himself on Uke while making it sound like Uke wanted it. And Seme yapped so much it was f annoying. Like shut the fuck up, why you have so much to say. The art is gorgeous and Seme is gorgeous, esp compared to Uke but tf he has such a despicable personality.
I sympathize with Uke but how is someone this spineless! The next morning Uke was saying shit like "i shouldn't have let that happen". Do you mean you could've done more to protest? "No" is not enough? They are really trying their damn best to make the lines blurry when its crystal clear Uke was r*ped by this mf. And Uke says he had sex with Seme ??? How is that sex. Sex is consensual, that clearly wasn't.
I get it you can have a redemption arc and all. I've read more toxic red flag BL's. But please don't make rape sound like normal sex. Even in the most toxic deranged BL 's they don't make portray the shit actions as normal to the viewers at least. It might be portrayed as normal in the setting but the viewers are not confused as to how wrong it actually is.
