Eh you should check out Non-zero sum and No reason. Both I personally think are worse. Both involve forms of mind break. Another is Moretones, Pufferfish and Dolphins, Sadistic Beauty Side Story (BL), Frenzy Train.
Plus LOTS of manga tends to have a lot darker stories than manhwa and manhua combined. One example is Harada who is a mangaka that mostly makes dark stories with messed up tops. Maybe because Japan is a lot more chill about their guidelines so tons of topics are way darker and published as well (compared to Korean manhwa since all manhwa are created more recently and abide by current morals and guidelines).

Lmao you don’t have to introduce me, literally everyone knows about that one and it’s the most obvious thing any one who only reads mainstream stories suggests. That’s why I only mentioned lesser known or newer stories. As well as the fact that the author themself said it’s not considered romance, more psychological. It’s obvious stories on serial killers would be dark. I only mentioned stories where they aren’t counted as serial killers but are just seriously messed up in the head.

Each of the stories I mentioned have some form of mind break and/or physical abuse. No reason has the ML physically abusing the MC, r@ping, and letting and giving the MC to his gang members to gang r@pe. Oh and he also killed all of MC’s friends, etc.
-
Non-zero sum has manipulation, mind break, and physical abuse and r@pe. The ML would abuse the MC and teach him to only have one correct answer for anything he asks. As well as give him candy right after he complies, making the MC be manipulated into thinking he’s still treating him well. The ML basically trains him to do what he wants or he will beat him.
