TBH haven’t actually read this

“Psychological” tag in anything with sex in it almost always just means abuse. Kind of annoying tbh. It’s usually not complex, it’s just traumatic for the main character with not much thought behind the plot itself or developments within relationships

    Kinda dumb complaint. For any genre, like 80% of it will be cliche entertainment w/ half-baked characters. So what? Can’t believe ur this bothered that you’re ranting on a manhwa u haven’t even read

    I understand where you’re coming from, but I was very clear that I wasn’t speaking directly to the contents of this comic. I was commenting on the inaccuracy of the “psychological” tag in my experience. That tag usually means that the comic will have severe abuse and trauma, rather than complex or intellectual psychological developments throughout. The tag is misused, and has become a warning for toxic comics, rather than an indicator of what it’s describing. When I see any comic with that tag I look in the comments to see whether it’s just a cesspit of violence and toxicity. I was just venting because I like psychologically complex comic, but overuse of that tag makes it hard to find them. It’s also upsetting to start a comic with high hopes only to immediately see gratuitous SA or violent abuse with no deeper plot relevance.

    Can’t say I disagree cuz I like actual psychological works too (books are way better for this than manga will ever be). Wondering tho, what else would this abuse/toxicity genre be called then? Imo even tho these themes are low hanging fruit, they do fit since the plots driven by the characters strong, twisted emotions

    Just tag them with “abuse”, “toxic”, “SA”, “trauma” etc…. It’s better to know up front so you’re emotionally prepared for a dark read, or informed enough not to start. Or follow the trend of booktok and go with “dark romance”. Books are definitely better for psychologically complex themes of course, but it’s always nice to stumble across a well written comic.

    I didn't think too much when I started read a new story and lower my IQ so I won't feel anything. Screw that, I always read without reading the tags and wait for some surprises. However, I agreed most of the psychological story is very dark and has some triggering elements to it.
