I don't know exactly how you guys read this but this isn't about sexual assaults nor rape, the whole story is about forced prostitution.
The rape scenes were very obvious and not so frequent, and the whole story revolves around how the protagonist got dragged into prostitution, how he survived and how he got out of this...
But once again this book is not just for anyone. I'm renewing my warning, this is brutal. Be aware that despite the beautiful happy ending, the story is long and shocking.
And I quickly read the comments, I see people only read the characters, so I'm going to talk about the STORY. I don't have much to add about the protagonists, the others pretty much said it all.
First, even though I have the worst luck (I'm literally the personification of Murphy's law), I'm not superstitious at all. So I found it as funny as ridiculous how the story and characters focus on this.
Second, too much sex. I can't even tell how many chapters are just sex, the whole book could have been at least 10chapters shorter.
Third etc, the art was pretty okay, translation is good, story is very okay-tiers, and I wasn't bored reading this (I still skipped the sex chapters because they didn't add anything to the story tho).
There was some unnecessary (even gross) parts but heh... Perfection is nothing but a childish fantasy in our sad world.
First and foremost, I don't recommend this to anyone, you must be prepared to see characters dying, raping and being raped, being ignored, abandoned and abused in any kind of ways... I liked it!
It was very interesting and I think the biggest flaw of this story is the translation. I don't know why it suddenly changed, and honestly it would have been good for any other genre, but for this one, it almost ruined the story. The atmosphere totally changed with the other translation, it was more light, approximate, childish and it really didn't fit the genre.
I also think that the punishment for the main antagonists are way too light, even with how the media manipulation was (greatly) empathised and depicted, it felt off.
Oh, and I don't know if I missed it
(I really had a hard time finishing this because of the accumulation of the translation change + the very happy ending + the random notes here and there between the panels in the 30 last chapters or so)
But in the end, what happened to Kim Hong?
I liked him and felt bad for him so many times...
Whelp! In conclusion:
Yeonseo>> best girl!!!
It wasn't as bad as some comments suggested, and I started to get my hopes up at chapter 33, thinking okay, finally the author HAS a good message to deliver here.... And then THIS???
Is this some kind of a trend to ruin stories in the 10 last panels of the last chapter?
Was that extra creepy extra even necessary here???
The number of sick creeps on mangago is alarming, what are your parents doing, kids? 7.5? 7.5 for a story that basically says " go for it, he's hot so it's okay".
That shit is so cheap, unrealistic, and chaotic I don't even know how to take it. All the right decisions taken in this story were flushed with your hopes and braincells, and all the shit were enhanced.
Consequences? What's that? Some kind of deviant art original character? Naaah we don't need it here. Let the girls dream of a hot creep so obsessive that he would pin his dead fishes corpses on fucking canevas, break your limbs, lock you up and brainwash you with his semen!
The art was wasted in this shit.
Then just read something else, since the beginning was OBVIOUS that is was phycological rotten.... If you don't like the genre just don't throw shit to the author.
You also said that "WE" don't need these stories.... Are you are out of your mind to speak in behalf of a community??? Let the creators and artist create and don't go crying about it.
Ooooooh no! I'm so very sorry that I didn't know the ending before reading this, I'm so fucking dumb!
I also apologize for expecting something better and believing that a story could have a good message to deliver to its readers, how dare I ?!
And even giving my opinion like that, what the fuck!
Who do I think I am, saying that "WE" don't need these stories.. you re absolutely right, I have no right to speak on the behalf of the communi...
Wait. I didn't though #－.－)
You know what?
I'm gonna keep saying whatever the fuck I want, because I have that same right as the authors and artists, and it seems that it doesn't really matter since you put yourself words in my mouth however you want.
Ps
This IS shit. Wether you liked it or not doesn't matter, shit is shit even if some people eat and like it.
go read the bible then. You can expect every story to have a happy ending. Mangago always put labels to their uploads... If you go read it either way that's your problem, not the author, nor the story
of course you can have your opinion, but to speak on behalf of a community or pretending to ban a whole gnre... wtf
I think you should READ my comment before replying.
As for the labels on mangago, you'll learn for yourself that they can't be trusted (be it the "official" ones or the readers')
Someone felt offended it seems. You're a disgusting peace a shit, end of the story
Yea no, I genuinely think she messed up and didn't answer the comment she intended to, otherwise I have no idea what she's talking about
I think she responded exactly to the comment she intended to. She's just trying to justify her love for rape stories
But I never talked on behalf of any community, I've reread my comment several times and I don't know what she could have misunderstood, that's why I think she messed up
As for her tastes... It's hers and hers alone, this shit is still shit lol.
thanks to my comment I now that I'll never reread this x')
The title was confusing. And Leslie/Stefanie...? Who? Or why?
The art was good and huuuuh, how to say this... The teacher, mh... Ugh. I quite liked him until he was shown jerking off to a kid, his sudden realisation after that made him a little bit better... Rather a little less worse.
But the fact that he ends up with the kid... Who isn't a kid anymore... Idk it felt gross.
I'm not a fan and I end up just craving for the girl's story (the name thing just made me curious for nothing).
I have no idea what's going on, they talk like in Google translated Chinese manhuas, the terms are weird and inconsistent and all the interactions are awkward af
(Nts ch19)
Making his anus look like a fucking Stargate omg xD why?? Ive never seen anything as obscene as that seriously x')
Just remove the whole chapter if you're gonna do such ridiculous shit
Im taking a break, I have a hard time considering seriously the story after that, I'll resume later (Nts ch30)
Oooookay so idc what the uploader or readers think about this,
Seungyeon was the heart of this story
Soohyun and Daseul were the victims
And the the other two
-look. I just kept reading to finally see them lose their shit and throw themselves over a cliff or something-
can just go fuck themselves.
They are the worst manipulative ugly ass humans ever, they made the story boring and overly complicated for nothing.
It was the most frustrating love triang-
Square? Nah doesn't work...
The most frustrating love origami I've ever seen, and Daon and Jaemin should totally have ended up together as some cult's gurus because all the other characters deserve better.
I wanted to feel bad for Daon's parents but they are so irresponsible I couldn't bring myself to, in the end I just feel sad for the twins who barely even existed thus spent their childhood suffering somewhere BEHIND the background where nobody would see or care.
The art improved like crazy, so much that some characters were barely recognisable.
I was lured in by the high rating but almost dropped it when they had this weird sex scene, I'm glad I kept reading, the moment Gitae opened the door it revived my curiosity and holy shit, it was good. I didn't see it coming and I don't really want to write a detailed review, it would be a shame to spoil future readers.
It was just really good and I hope people won't do the same shit I almost did, it was worth reading.
I'm still curious about Jihoon s parents though. Like how and why did they know, what happened to them and how old was Jihoon when they left him... ?
I started reading this some time ago, there was about 30 chapters uploaded and dropped it because it was annoying to wait for the next updates, along with &#@£ other unfinished book... Of course I reread the entire thing now that it's complete and never got bored or anooyed, this shit is a masterpiece.
The characters are hilarious and the contrast between them makes them a match made in heaven.
Yeon woo is naturally hilarious but the way Tae moon tries to look serious makes him even more ridiculous, I love their dynamic and the story even manage to be interesting.
Though I don't understand how they somehow got hired and worked for years in such a crappy environment, and I honestly hoped that the whole DM would go bankrupt when their little imaginary scandal exploded.
It was a good read a VERY good read
I'll be back/10
