It's based on novel, bro. It's prob means he's more crueler in novel than what manhwa potray. So, if he didn't rape shts, he do not reach the requirement of characteristic he supposed to portray as in the novel. Readers don't think of him as cruel when he ripping people apart. Some might even think he look hot for doing that which doesn't achieve the fact twisted character supposed to get hatred from readers. However, at the moment rape shts coming up, readers started to hate him which achieve the hatred.
what im trying to say is that unlike whay u said, the story wouldnt have been the same bc zhenya is a character whos disgusting(?), and some readers would hate him for the stuff that hes done (but in the end hes still a character that some people may like)
and what makes him such a disgusting(?) character would include how he rapes the mc.
Are you okay? Who is 'you guys'? Cuz Im sure it's not me. The manhwa just follow the novel and the novel just give a character that portrayed extreme psychopath behaviour.
Just saying the manhwa follow novel plots and saying the author intend to make ML become unlikable and psychopath immediately assume me and other commenter have rape kinks? I may defend rape but Im ensure you it's not becuz I have rape kinks (seeing people fck each other in manhwa is a sleep lullaby for me tbh)
To ensure you read things right,
IM SAYING MANHWA FOLLOW NOVEL PLOTS
AUTHOR OF NOVEL INTEND TO MAKE
MALE LEAD, ZHENYA ,YES THAT BLOND HAIR RUSSIAN PSYCHOPATH, AN UNLIKABLE, GAINED HATRED AND DISGUSTED FROM READERS.
IT TO SHOW HOW PSYCHO HE IS. HE COULD RAPE SOMEONE OTHER THAN MC BEFORE HE MEET MC BEFORE.
IT IS NECESSARY BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE SUCH AS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO
UNABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE
REAL LIFE AND FICTION
T H I N K
DATED A PSYCHOPATH IS A GOOD IDEA
JUST
BECAUSE YOU READ MANHWAS THAT SHOW WHOLESOME-NO-RAPING PSYCHOPATHS.
I hope this helps.
Also, I can't handle straight romance. It's not good for my hearts, like literally. They're too cute that I want to bite myself as for why I'm single. I need to have a room that have sound insulation cuz I gonna scream like a pig went to slaughterhouse, voluntarily.
Same to GL. Last time I read shoujo ai manhua made think me few times about my sexual orientation.
BL is cold water splashing from my head to my toe. I don't see myself in MC or ML. And I prefer if they follow novel(if they're just artist).
I usually read novel version if I hear artist change the novel plots due to how horrific and gore the plots is.
Which why I kinda hate novels that have WN LN and manhwa/manga versions.
i gave up on explaining to them bc they had a comeback for everything when i alrd explained myself n i didnt know what wld make them understand what i was trying to say lol but this is really very clear wow.
just to add on for them when they see this, this isnt targeted towards u;;
a chara that rapes ppl is so fucking nasty, much more nasty than a chara who kills.
saying we fetishise rape when in this case we arent even saying its right for zhenya to rape, we r just saying its something a nasty person like him wld do, hes a rapist and a gross, disgusting guys with no morals.
and exactly how bad is his chara/personality? he doesnt just stop at murder;; he rapes
it makes him worse than he could have been if he werent a rapist. but he is, so hes disgusting to an even greater extent. thats the kind of male lead the author wanted.
we arent saying its RIGHT for zhenya to rape ppl, ofc it isnt, we all know that. but this guy is someone who does, and it fits the story bc thats exactly what the author wants him to do, and the kind of character that the author wants zhenya to be. so saying the story would be the same without the rape isnt really true when zhenya was a character made to be a rapist, in the authors mind.
or something like that. theres no fetishisation of rape here abt zhenya, at least from me, i/we know its wrong of him to do that shit, its gross we dont want to see him rape taekjoo bc we have rape kinks and want to see taekjoo get raped its just part of his character is what i meant to say in the first place. hes a rapist. hes a nasty character that doesnt just kill. thats it
all that build up for rape??
