I finally read this. I said I wasn’t going to, but TikTok convinced me after so many edi...

Exactly my question granted I dropped this at like ch 60 cuz I genuinely could not take it anymore

Mostly because he is sexy and the MC doesnt show any real sadness from all the threats/rape/manipulation.

Actually the MC himself fell in love before Ilay even started the redemption arc... so it makes it easier for our brain to think "oh well its not that big of a deal." (Especially since we know Ilay somehow love MC)

And of course, because its fiction

But it is actually weird the amount of tiktok/shorts portraying this manwha as cute/nice lmao

But Mc made it very clear to ilay how much he despised him for raping him. Both of them are in denial but, ilay has a terrifying personality. What happens when he gets bored of Tay, Tay is realizing his feelings, but ilay thinks of him as an object of possession. It’s going to hurt me so much.

Dude I didn’t even get to the part where he rapes mc LOL. I forgot what chapter it was but what made me drop was when mc saw ilay and the pretty brown hair dude who mc liked (his name was “Lu”? I think) fucking. Had me flabbergasted. Like damn bro rly got cheated on by two ppl at the same time somehow

Ik they’re not in a relationship but it feels like if you were talking to someone and that person was still fucking everyone else at the same time But honestly I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else have the same opinion as me.

That was the last time illy ever slept with anyone,and he had to pay heavy penalty for that ,even telling tae how he hated sleeping with him ,he wished it was you he slept with , and couldn show xinlu how I'm with you lol

Crazy, that’s almost exactly what my friend’s ex bf said to her after cheating on her last month

MC SAYS he despise Ilay but it's clear from his thoughts and actions that he isnt much hurt by it. What hurt him the most is the fact that Ilay dont like him / he got betrayed.

The assailt itself doesnt affect him much.

Yes, in real life, Ilay would be one hell of a terrifying person. But we all know Ilay will change eventually, so thats why he is quite loved.

Personally, as a character, Tauei is the one that pisses me off the most. The fact he fell in love with someone that threatened his life from day 1 and never stopped. And then he even had sex with Ilay before leaving even though he says the rape left him traumatized and with hatred... This story really does romantize rape to a high level.

I have read the novel

? Did you reply to the wrong person? I’m sure you have but what does that have to do with anything?

I don't. I come back to it once in a while to see if anything has improved. To look at a hot guy. To see if there's smut...
And then I dip.
