True I know it's not a BL lovey dovey story, that I knew from the gang rape in the first couple chapters. It's just sad that stories that are super dark like this are popular and people "ship" characters that are toxic af. But again I'm not into that and I don't judge those that are! These type of stories really aren't my thing and same thing with KS, I stopped reading. I've been reading yaoi since I was 11 and now that I'm 23 and seeing so many stories with abusive/rapist semes I'm like ew next!
see personally I love horror/psychological thriller stuff and I like reading both this and KS. Tbh this is kinda underdeveloped in the characters and they aren't seeming to be that complex but I prefer stories with complex characters who do messed up stuff idk why I find it interesting, maybe it's a psychology thing. I completely agree with you on the whole shipping abuse being fucked up because yIKES but we can't stop people even if we tell them which is kinda scary when you think about how some romanticise abuse
I love a good horror/psychological story too (I’m a psych major)but not with rape and abuseevery other chapter. It’s too much in my opinion and it’s just depressing. And the only reason I read up to chapter 11 is cause I thought Kyung Soo would have some backbone and stand up to Yule but no he gets raped by him once again, and I heard Yule’s brother or something rapes Kyung Soo. It’s like a rape party in this manga and I’m so done reading ( ̄へ ̄)
I got to chapter 11, and already I’ve read 2 rape scenes. And I thought Killing Stalking was bad, this one takes the cake. It makes me sad that rape is such a common theme in yaoi to the point it’s noramlized and romanticized. Yule is psychotic and I already know that kyung soo will fall in love with him and that just angers me. So another manga that I will not finish reading because I’m really tired of people being okay with reading rape scenes and liking abusive characters only cause they’re “hot” cause it’s just a “story”. I’ll stick to cute fluffy stories like Love Stage A Man Like You. thanks ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
