No one forces you to like Byun Minho. But in what twisted world rape, tortures and more are adequate punishment for being a misogynistic jerk. In what twisted world someone deserves abuse and rape as punishment. And it shows how the writing of the story can be harmful. Doona's trauma is showed as valid, Minho's actions have visible effect on her, he is criticised by the others and get consequences for his actions.... Meanwhile Minho is raped,abused and tortured but no one talks about it, his trauma is downplayed, there is no real impact on his character and the plot even tries to "justify" the abuse - the narrative many readers buy so excitedly. I will never understand why sexual assault is made into something minor and overlooked by both authors and readers.
