This one was a hard pill to swallow. I'm very weak for stories that talk about SA since it's really hard to find someone that can write about it without fetishizing it. With that being said, I already crossed paths with many manhwas here that I stopped reading because SA scenes were just obviously torture porn. This one here has A LOT of SA scenes but I really think the author tried to do them in a respectful way. I still believe it could have been less graphic, but it was surprising how well Geom's trauma was handled and how the way he sees sex would get all distorted, how he would blame himself and even doubt if he was really a victim, this are all very REAL feelings of SA victim's and I appreciate that it was handled with care. He suffered a lot, but thrived through everything and got his happy ending. Of course nothing that happened with him will be forgotten or erased, but, as the author said, we can always write new memories. The romance here was pure and beautiful, and it was what got me to read this story because it's good to see the main character having a lovable and righteous love interest, while all the abusers are correctly shown as villains. It was also, unfortunately, very real about the consequences these villains faces. The world isn't fair and those who have power will not face justice all the way. I really wished to see them suffer more, but it so happens like this in real life. Very tough reading, but a beautiful story. It would've been perfect if less graphic on the SA scenes.
