same! i was like wtf it came completely out of left field and i had just been thinking it was nice ilay x tay had been consensual. plus tay gets completely turned off b/c xinlu came on to him strong but ilay SA’s him with a hard r and he’s just okay with that?
Yeah that ruined his character for me and it’s annoying how it’s gotten even worse in the newer chapters. I guess they did mention early on that he had raped people before so I shouldn’t have been surprised really
I went in reading this kind of blind but here are my thoughts so far.
I feel like this has been a wasted potential manhwa for me, sadly. I had really high hopes and expectation up until the first time they went all the way. I was at the edge of my seat constantly up til that point!!! I loved it. Until then all their interactions had at least been somewhat consensual (although Ilay was pushy), and when Ilay just suddenly raped him WITHOUT ANY PREPARATION AT ALL with no warning whatsoever I seriously just blanked out for a few seconds cuz I didn't expect it at all. I haven't read a "zero preparation sex scene" in a long time. Huge turnoff by itself. I had been looking forward to Tay opening up to the idea of bottoming without being forced to do it. Kind of being convinced? After that it has just kept going downhill. I understand that this is a dark manhwa, which is partly why I loved it, but the whole increase in non-con, and now confinement... I'm just not into the route it has decided to take. I wish they could have made Ilay kinda cray cray without the non-con. I don't mind the cat and mouse game at all, but it would have been a thousand times better without the non-con imo.
Well, I'm in too deep not to finish it now, and there's still a lot of things I love about it. It's just that it didn't live up to my expectations lmao.
