If he was so consistent about getting what he wants, why didn’t he pounce on mc when he was going to confess to sunbae? Or after mc came back to him, to “secure” their relationship?
Istg all this “Sehyuk always been like this” is really starting to piss me off, i fucking hate when authors add the rape shit to their stories and people go like “yeaa he had it coming tho”
no he’s fucking not
You're proving my point that he had been patient enough. On the flip side, the MC has always been dense and forgetful, we literally have a chapter of ML saying "this is the kind of guy you liked". It's not about justifying "rape" itself but explaining why dubcon isn't so surprising and actually, yes, the MC DID have it coming because he already recognized that ML would DO as he SAYS. Every side character told him he was special (despite not feeling special by his own standards), that the ML's desire has been on a high even like when he was fetchig the MC at the hideout, and ML had warned him to STAY BY HIS SIDE.
It's actually more hypocritical to expect a healthly BDSM-like sex in a story where the ML has been an established immoral stalker, murderer, manipulative, and possessive "lover". And, it's easier to scold the author for not making the MC wiser as the "mad dog owner" who's been made aware of his mad dog's tendencies yet continue to provoke his instincts.
still sounds like justifying rape to me
Real. This manga is just that tbh and it’s weird that people are looking for a higher moral ground lol
It’s fictitious and that’s why Anything goes, it would be odd to have real life morals to this.
Also it’s dark romance so literally anything goes except cheating lol
Quite honestly yes. Tho I dont wanna be under fire for "justifying rape" or justifying harm in general.
The author aimed for it. Im only explaining what led to the rape and how some readers ought to realize that their expectations of the ML is clashing with how he was characterized to be. We already knew how twisted the ML was, it's just stubborn denial to cry injustice or be disgusted when he commits an act equal to murder, manipulation, and mental trauma.
Cheating would just add "spice" lmao, seeing how the ML dealt with the sunbae. Also, being disgusted by rape all the while ignoring murder, manipulation(the biggest FU to the MC if he knew he was intentionally dragged back), and all the "realistic gangster crimes" is a weird bottomline.
TRUE LOL
It’s just fiction idk why we don’t hold it like that.
If people who read it and say there is nothing wrong it, they are the problem in the end of the day. I’m here to relax and enjoy toxic relationships peacefully
As a character, ML is consistent about "I get what I want" and is already patient enough to be in control of his urges when he was still hospitalized. In the side story, MC (as if still unaware by ML's temper) not only ignores informing ML, he also gets into another trouble.
Like actually, why aren't people more concerned that ML manipulated everything since day one to drag him back into the syndicate and claim him. Why romanticize a "consented" sex when consent has been a myth since the day they separated from childhood?
