that was… it?

im shocked the manhwa ended this way. extremely rushed, with barely any substance of the main characters after facing horrible things. while open ended endings are okay, this one lacked SO much compared to previous stories where we at least got to see the main couples inner thoughts, aspirations, and insight of their future

with how much rape this story contained and little storytelling with the main romance, i have to admit im upset i read this. we got mainly sa content, where mc was treated disgusting and dehumanized, rather than content on his healing journey and own image with relationships in general. yona has many flaws to work on as well, and a handful of arcs that should’ve been in the main story went down the drain

    You are right! But I admit, I am convinced on how they portray the an*l sex as painful and Chang-il's reaction everytime he does it with men. It's more realistic compare to other bl where the mc gets r*pe and still blushing and aroused like they want it. Here, we can literally see how it disgusts him. I hope other authors will know how to properly portray this kind of disgusting scene.

    Thank you!! It was very explicit but it doesn’t make it as if victims enjoy it.

    not to argue, this is just my opinion. i also agree it’s important to portray rape or anal in the most realistic sense. compared to most yaois that show undeserved rare pleasure > common discomfort or pain (think lack of foreplay/rushed insertion). however literal torture porn for the sake of shock value and then doing nothing with it moving forward doesn’t justify it or make it good. the story was literally focused on mc being raped over and over in horrible ways when it could’ve been glossed over since we get the picture. which is why i don’t praise the author for “making rape realistic” because showing it’s brutality doesn’t make up for a lack of storytelling

    I agree so much. The amount of unnecessary scenes SHOWN and then doing little to NOTHING to make up for that afterwards felt very…unsatisfying to say the least.

    Not gonna sugarcoat but this author sure likes the bottoms always being raped trope in their stories.they do make some good ones, but also questionable.

    Realistic anal sex isn’t very realistic in fiction haha. In reality gay men have to clean their booty, enema whatever they gotta use to clean shit out, sometimes literal shit.

    The only part I like is the no-hard on when being raped, the author does it well compared to many stories I’ve read. But overall? Nope, nothing amazing. As you said, the brutality doesn’t make up for the lack of storytelling.

    no yea readers should never rely on fictional stuff to show realistic sex at all especially not yaoi or smut focused stories in general. i only pointed it out because of op. and fr, this author really does enjoy their bottoms suffering
