Thoughts on Lolita Similarities

TarantulaHug May 13, 2021 7:05 am

After investigating the book and seeing the similarities and looking at the twisted, vile nature of this author's other works I think it is very likely they were inspired by Nabokov's Lolita for this particular manhwa. Perhaps Ramjak is intentionally making Lumi look more and more like a child as the story goes on to illustrate that she is a child that is being sexually abused and manipulated by her stepfather. Doesn’t make the story and sex scenes any less gross but just something I thought of.

    I went to search about Nabokov's Lolita after reading your comment. Oh gosh, the character(Humbert) in the book was such a sickening pedophile! So disgusting!
    I have not read the webtoon and was thinking whether to read it or not. But, I think I will not read it after I saw your comment.

    I just read the synopsis on Wikipedia. Just search Nabokov's Lolita on Google.

    If you are talking about the 1997 movie, then yes it is based on Nabokov's book.
