Lmao tags exist for a reason!
We know there are tags, but even tags don't help at a certain point. In manga with tags like this, there's still some effort into making some semblance of happier moments and characters. But it is the same thing over and over, there is no development for the characters possibly except for the MC and that's only a bit. There's nothing but bad in this man. We can still criticize it, and having tags does not matter.
Even if the tag says physiological, I can criticize it for being just a story with nothing nice in it. That's like saying, you can't criticize or feel bad about how the use of drugs is portrayed in this movie because the synopsis says it has drug use. We aren't saying it is bad, we are saying makes us feel bad about how it is written and portrayed in this media.
We aren't saying that having those themes of assault or horror in this manga is inherently bad, but how it is used is bad or makes up feel disgusted. There's nothing but assault in the manwha, there is no chance to breathe. It's repetitive in this, and we know every scene with the ML or the other MLS will always end up with the MC being hurt or assaulted. That's something to criticize.
We are still going to feel bad after reading this, no matter what the tags say. They have a right to feel disturbed after reading this. Despite the tags.
I understand what you are saying, the themes of this book isn’t what you find wrong within this book but how the author uses it in such a way that makes you disgusted and disturbed, and the rape gets repetitive because it’s in every chapter basically. This work doesn’t make any effort to help the audience to have a chance at emotionally connecting or “sympathizing” or reasoning with any of the semes but to only root for the uke's survival in cruel situations.
I also think although you might not agree with me but this manwha doesn’t really try hard to romanticize rape such that you can somehow forgive or rationalize why semes rape the uke. It also shows how the cycle of abuse is perpetuated because Hawon believes there is a slight chance things will return to normal. I’m still trying to figure out why I keep coming back to this when it updates maybe because I still I have hope for Hawon to get in to the relationship he wants and because it’s just so outright disturbing, I just get an adrenaline rush while reading it. I just wanna know what happens next.
I agree with you on that front, I don't think the author is trying to make the assault seem good, and I understand everything you say. And thanks for seeing my point of view on this topic.
And I get you on the front of keep coming back to it. I know some people come back because they are desperate to see some sort of change in the story, like how will they ig makeup or how the MC will get away from them. So I get the struggle lol, and no shame in it on my side.
I just wanted to make it known that one can't dismiss someone's opinions because of what stated in the tags. ヾ(☆▽☆) Enjoy your reading as well! (⌒▽⌒)
Why would anyone come up with something like this? This is just straight up grape after grape, I'm literally so disturbed and it pains me physically to read this. Not even Killing stalking is as bad as this. I doubt anyone would ever recover from this immense trauma, poor MC...
