Is the story accurate about a rapist and the victim? Yeah. SH is an asshole who keeps doing his thing, rooted in trauma, not given a reason to change and doesn't know how. NK is being traumatized and doesn't know how or when to speak out to best help his situation, also a lil dumb. Status, wealth, and education gaps. Lots of misunderstandings and also an unwillingness to understand. I think the author is doing a great job of portraying that. This shit, realistically, will go in circles forever. They probably won't ever change, if the author was going for straight realism. Neither should a RAPIST get and deserve redemption. For SH and NK to end up together as lovers would be an outrage.
However, I think, at this point, going in circles with a manga that is updated weekly, barely any plot development, or character development, is tiring. Great job, yes. Draining to read, also yes. For story purposes, we typically expect more payoff and expedited development, like with BJ Alex for example. That just makes it an easier and more rewarding read (although I thought Jiwon's development was rushed and he is also an undeserving rapist still.)
Idk where I was going with this, those are just my thoughts.
