It's painter of the night UwU
Have that fluffy shounen ai as a back up and read it after reading this manhwa. As op said there is the rape aspect but (s)he raises some good points. I hadn't noticed the things that OP said. Imma sucker for redemption so I just hope that the lord will do some deeeeeep soul searching.
Sure! Send me anything you want!
I’m sure he’s getting romance mixed with lust. But does he deserve to have his feelings reciprocated? No lol
I'm leaving this comment as an aro/ace person so this comes from someone who has no interest in romance nor sex. Personally I don't think that these feelings SH has towards NK are even near affection. I think his possessive behaviour hides some kind of interest tho. He is a wonderful evil character, a sociopath, narcissist and sex addicted. I very much like him as a character. I prefer Nakyum tho. What I think people dislike about this manwha is not the rape per se, but the idea of rape used as a plot strategy to make characters "fall in love" which It's an overabused trope and a depiction of an unhealthy LGBT relationship. Also another reason for this outburst of comment can be linked with some of the comments. Most of the people who read it recognize it as rape and enjoy it because it's their preference, but someone said that these acts were not rape and called it "cute". I for instance have no problem with rape in fiction, this al long as people recognise it as what it is. But when people start to be oblivious and refuse to recognise it...well, this one it's the only thing I can't condone.
I personally don't ship them and I'm not a fan of redemption arcs but it's not like you can't. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Sorry for the long paragraph and for my bad English.
Lol oops I meant to post this as a comment under the manga. I wondered where my comment went..
@Lacchan I've noticed the overuse rape to love plot device as I recently got into BL and started binge ready many popular (and obscure) ones. At first I was bewildered of the ships between obvious toxic relationship. But I guess I became used to it (I'm not sure it's a good thing). I don't necessarily ship NK with SH, but I don't hate SH, yet. If you've read the raws, I was pretty disappointed with chapter 32/33.
Ik. I've been reading on this site for a long time now. I think five years or so. The amount of yaoi with this trope is almost scary. Especially older ones, therefore I kind of understand why someone grew used to it and set the "decent human being bar" too low. I mean, maybe thats me, but fisting him beforehand the rape doesnt count that much as character development. Lmao. Btw, yeah I've read the raws. Can't say I'm disappointed because I expected it from SH. Even the author said that he's the worst of the worst and belongs in Jail in the Q&A so If anything I'm expecting poor Nakyum to suffer even more. The only thing I feel throughout the story is the pity for him, and I can't really stand to see an innocent character as him being humiliated this way.
That's why I'm dropping it
Omg she really said that SH belonged in jail? Now I'm curious about her cryptic "they'll be happy in their own way." I assumed this story would follow the rape to love blueprint but maybe not? You're dropping it?! I get it, but I am still very invested in this story so I'm probably going to stick until the end.
Yup. She really said it. Tbh I almost hope she'll pull a Killing Stalking kind of ending because I don't see a lovely happy life for them. The only one I hope ends up being either happy or dead far away from abuse is Nakyum. Poor baby. I cried reading last chap. It hits close home. Anyway, good luck reading itヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I think Seungho has feelings for Nakhyum. It might not be in love yet (or doesn't know how to healthily express love) since he has questionable outburst, but he's whipped. Have you guys noticed that Seungho cum whenever they lock eyes. The first time was during the blow job, and now in chap 31.
He has been very touchy with Nakhyum since the beginning, stroking his hair. Being a Lord that everyone fears and everyone oblige to his needs, he didn't have to make sure Nakhyum enjoys the sex as well, but he does. But to be fair, I think it's not only because he like him, but also it was a blow to his ego to see Nakhyum not go hard for him.
I'm happy to see a end to all these anonymous /troll accounts. I much prefer reading theories or feedbacks or gems like the nicknames you guys come up with. My favorite one as of late, someone referring Seungho as unlearned sir lmao. Or people referring to Jinhwa as "the brown hair guy or red hair guy". Lol guys please settle on one hair color I love this fandom
About people disliking the rape, I wish people would stop telling them to stop reading/leave etc. It would be boring if everyone had the exact same opinion, don't you think? They might not be a fan of rape but still be curious about how the story turns out, or read for the art etc. With that being said, I don't cosign them shaming us
or having a better than thou attitude. Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy, as long as it's not hurting anybody. So yeah, everyone should be allowed their opinion, but don't be rude about it or attack the author and fans intellect.
OK I'm done lol
