That depends on your perspective. If your hate stems purely from the character's design, that’s understandable. However, dismissing a story without giving it a fair chance or approaching it with a strong bias is an entirely different issue. It seems likely that your initial disdain was influenced more by its popularity than by its actual content.

GIRL I AGREE WITH YOU I think mostly the fan base of this manhwa are women and half of them only make edits of the sex or “sexy moments” saying they wish it was them etc and how they were upset that the sex scenes were censored and how Taeha was “gentle” or into it THAT MFER IS ONLY FOR THE LUST OF IT it wasn’t even aftercare fr fr and the only thing I see on tt is just pure smut edits

As I mentioned, if your dislike stems purely from the character's design, that’s understandable. it’s definitely unusual and questionable. However, dismissing a story without giving it a fair chance or approaching it with a strong bias is a different issue. Some avoid it because of the fanbase, but that’s a judgment of the fandom, not the actual work itself. If you are gonna hate the manhwa, hate the manhwa. If your gonna hate a manhwa bc of the fandom then u need to realized that the fandom is something they cannot control and they probably hate it too (ex: mha)
Personally, I like it because I find it realistic in a way. Many people who have experienced abusive relationships can relate to her emotions. Through her interactions with her ex, you can see how he manipulates and controls her. The more serious the incidents he denies, the more her grip on reality starts to slip. She has loved this man for a long time and continues to give him chances, despite everything. Without a trusted adult to guide her, she’s left navigating this situation alone.
Criticizing a manga for sexualizing women is valid, but dismissing its deeper themes and reducing it to "just another Wattpad story" ignores the raw and painful reality it portrays. People do make these stupid and dumb decisions, and that’s what makes it feel so real.

Honestly, I feel like it’s poorly written though I’ve read better works that depict, emotional and physical abuse like lost the cloud is a great example. I guess it’s realistic in someway, but it’s more used as for her to get saved and get revenge than actually focus on her character grow and healing. I do think it’s like a Wattpad story that I’ve read before. Not everything needs to be super deep or complex. Some stories are just simple and cliché. I’m not into that personally

Rn whatever u say might change my opinion or whatever i say might change nothing. I agree that there could be better-written stories that handle emotional and physical abuse with more nuance. However, just because this story incorporates revenge or a ‘saved’ narrative doesn’t mean it lacks depth. Many abuse survivors don’t get a neat, linear healing arc.it’s messy, inconsistent, and often intertwined with wanting justice or closure. Even if its simple and cliché it can still resonate deeply with people, especially those who relate to the MC’s struggles. I see thing deeper bc I kinda understand the mc. It’s okay if it’s not your thing, but dismissing it solely for being trope-heavy might overlook the impact it has on readers who see themselves in it.
Why did Tears on a Withered Flower rating go up :( do people really have shitty taste
