Downgraded and dropped. This went from an adult thriller manhwa with semi interesting plot...

I second this im dropping it now (︶︿︶)＝凸

Very eloquently put. The moment they walked the wife into the room and showed chicken boy's impending torture scene, I got a sick feeling, which I'd only gotten from reading messed up stuff like Harada's Gintama dj's
╥﹏╥ though at times I go back to Harada who sometimes surprises us with fluff, I doubt I'll be coming back to this （/TДT)/

There is one of Harada's djs that I wasn't able to take, but other than that, I enjoy her work because they tend to delve into the darker psycho-social aspects of the human condition which never feel gratuitous. A lot of Harada's thematics usually elicit very strong emotional responses which leaves you feeling like you rode a roller coaster after reading her work; that's why she's one of my ultimate favorite mangakas. It's funny you mention Harada here, because in another post where I'm reiterating my criticism of the direction this Manhwa has taken, some dumb-cat behind the veil of "Anonymous" made the vacuous claim that I'm being hypocritical for liking "rapey" Yaoi "which is only about sex sex sex" while criticizing this manga, which only shows how uneducated or ignorant people are about, not only Yaoi, but fiction genres in general; forget about the myriad yaoi mangas of deep complexity like those of Harada's and Yoneda's caliber, but even the most simplistic one-dimensional Yaoi or shounen romance smut (which I do enjoy if specific aesthetics and romance elements are met) are far tolerable than a bunch of ugly bastards brutally raping gratuitously a woman or young man.

I agree about Harada's works having their own charm where even though I get a chill seeing things are taking a dark turn, I still keep reading cos I wanna see how they'll play out, like Yoru To Asa.
This on the other hand has started becoming way too gratuitous, like torture for the sake of torture, and I don't understand where they're trying to take the plot. Plus I can't really get behind any of the characters anymore so there's no reason I wanna continue..

I have no beef with harada and I've read literally all her works I could find but the only one I couldn't stomach was this one http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/gintama_dj_kabe/ . I read that dj till the end and was so shaken, and even the one where Gintoki gave Hijikata

* even the one where gintoki gave hijikata stockholm syndrome didn't affect me as bad as the Kabe dj did.

No hate to harada but just that one Gintama dj left a bad taste in my mouth and the direction this manhwa is taking is giving me similar vibes to that...

Wow, I'm with you on this, that is a.w.f.u.l ... O.o I had not checked this one out and it does leave with you with a very troubled feeling because you realize that it's just torture for shock value, it is meaningless. I usually don't read her Gintama djs as I tend to stick to her original stories/mangas. The Harada dj I wasn't able to to stomach is this one:
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/aru_otoko_no_higeki/

It's the Yoru to Asa dj that depicts a more brutal version of Asaichi's torture. I just couldn't take it, I don't understand why she had to go and draw a more brutal version when the scene in the original manga was bad enough. But the bottom line is that I agree with you, that this is the exact same reason why I'm dropping this manga. I don't enjoy gratuitous brutal rape and much the less gang rape; that type of shit is just too awful and this is where this manga is spiraling down to.
