Confused

Yes, he does end up with Jerome. But before that they all kinda live together. Anyway, this whole story is simply Stockholm Syndrome based. There's no happy ending.

there no stockholm syndrome in this cause most of the story are raymond revenge.

I'd like to think that too. But Raymond does fall in love with both of them on the way. And both abused him = Stockholm Syndrome. And then ends up with Jerome. Only of he killed both of them and then moved on and found lbe within himself. Maybe then...

Ray falls for Simon and Jerome?

Yeah, kind of.

I just realized, I made some typos. I meant "love within himself" there.

And that isn't even all. Simon and Jerome do worse than rape.

Like what? You can dm me if ur not comfortable spoiling out in open. Also, I’m really just questioning why so many people on Twitter are simping for those two and acting lovey dovey with their toxic ship.

I mean I got no business interfering or being a moral police, but sometimes I wonder haha

is this your first time reading a toxic/fucked up manga? cuz all the fans are like that. they ship the "couple" even tho mc gets humiliated and degraded by his love interest

I don’t mind sharing details from the novel here, especially since a spoiler warning was already given on the main topic. I doubt anyone who wants to avoid spoilers would read through these comments anyway. That said, I can always add another spoiler warning if needed.

But for those who’ve read the novel but view it differently, like romanticizing abuse because it’s fiction, they might chime in here. Anyway, would you like a full summary or just details about the abuse in the upcoming manhwa chapters?

That makes sense, since it’s fiction there’s no morals applied much.

And you can spoil whatever way yoh want, summary or details, but I do want to know more about the abuse that you said Jerome and Simon does worse than rape.

Alright, here's the deal with the darker parts of The Bad Life. The novel doesn’t shy away from showing the absolute worst things that happen to Raymond, and it’s hard to stomach. Alongside the individual assaults by Jerome and Simon, there are also gang rapes where multiple people assault Raymond. These are some of the most horrifying scenes in the novel—he's restrained, humiliated, and treated like nothing more than an object by a group of men. The brutality is extreme, leaving both physical and emotional scars.

There’s also a lot of gore tied into Raymond’s suffering. He’s beaten to the point of broken bones, cut and scarred, and often left in a state of complete helplessness. One particularly horrific scene involves him being so severely assaulted that he loses consciousness, only to wake up in even worse conditions, surrounded by the people who hurt him and taunting him for his pain.

The psychological manipulation is just as relentless. Jerome and Simon both gaslight and degrade him constantly, making him feel like he has no value beyond what they can take from him. These moments add layers of trauma on top of the physical abuse, leaving him completely broken.

Raymond’s journey is filled with unimaginable suffering. It’s a tough read that really pushes the boundaries of what someone can endure.

I get what you're saying, but I think fiction can definitely have morals, even if they aren't always obvious. A lot of stories use characters and situations to show us something about human nature, choices, or consequences. Even if it's not overtly preachy, the way things unfold in fiction can still make a statement about right and wrong, or at least offer a deeper perspective. It’s important, though, that fiction doesn’t romanticize abuse or toxic behavior, even if it’s just a story. When those things go unchallenged, it can send the wrong message, making them seem acceptable when they really aren’t.


It really frustrates me how, after everything they put him through, he still ends up with one of them in the end.

Where can I read the novel in English? I can't find it anywhere
