I checked the raws and unfortunately, everything that happened so far is nothing compared to what's to come. With the bit of sanity I have left, I would like to purge this piece of shit out of my mind.
Can you tell me what happens that can be worse than this? I’m curious too
Im never succumbing to curiosity ever again, that shit Lowkey will be the death of me
SPOILERS - He dies and basically comes back to life, he goes back to his life stealing food from other people to survive, the loan sharks from the beginning come back and bald guy "saves him" he ends up getting raped by him and becomes his slave. It ends with the usb of him getting raped getting sent to his wife and her new husband. Very messed up story..
WHAT
Jesus fucking Christ
Please tell me youre joking???? Is it alot to ask for a happy ending these days. Korean authors need to be put down IMMEDIATELY
what the fuck
Could you guys send the link for raws? And how many chapters left til it's done?
What the actual fuck. How do you authors even come up with shit???
And the crazy part is... The new husband had a fucking boner, locked his bedroom door and probably jerked the fuck off watching his wife's ex's porn. Fucking hell

jail. JAAAILLL
Someone needs to put korean authors in solitary ASAP
Wtf that's crazy cause that's irrelevant
Thankyou!!
Thank you for sparing me to have to write it!
No, it's 100% true!
I was a little annoyed with the reupload notification, but re-reading the official translations is so worth it. A lot of small details that were confusing make sooo much sense now. The dialogues and monologue are clearer. So, thank you Bloomingdale. Can’t wait for the new season in November, in the meantime, I am going to enjoy re-reading this!
Please don't ruin it by adding rape in the storyline. Although I know it was a big thing in the alternate version but we don't want or need it here. *fingers crossed*
They're a healthy couple here. I'm hoping so
Exactly! Probably the most healthy couple on this platform
The healthiest couple in this genre, but in this platform there are a lot of healthy couples too, you just haven't read enough yet
Could be. Who knows?
Or maybe it's not prompted enough. I should have clarified my earlier statement. All you have to do is look at the homepage 9/10 of the features listed on there are have sexual assaults of some kind
Lol, don't look for green flag couple there, it's like finding needle in a haystack and the needle is as small as an ant leg, the tiniest ant. Anyways, if you really want green flag couple, go in the shounen Ai section, the ratio would be 8:2 at least
They just can't help themselves uh? It must be a cultural thing, otherwise how do you explain that "rape" comics are the top demand in Japanese and Korean market? Even true crime documentaries about these countries are just unimaginablly mind-boggling. I'm not saying all Japanese and Koreans are fucked up... just some seeds for thoughts. Even when it makes no sense, they still find a random reason to introduce rape in a storyline. How are you going to go from a whole "self-reflection" monologue about hurting the MC and then the next thing that came out of your mouth is "I'm going to fuck you" aka "I'm going to rape you"? Like come on. I do understand why the ML is doing it but is that even necessary? Of all the other methods to scare someone and make them stay away from your "dangerous" lifestyle, it seems to me "rape" should not even be on the list. Especially for someone who claims he cares for the MC.
Thank you for putting into words what I'm thinking... few Yaoi with an interesting story now don't contain rape..it's as if it's a kind of baptism... (￣∇￣")
as if in real life if it didn't happen we'd all react like that, throwing ourselves into the arms of the man who raped us and they lived happily ever after ??? Mannnn
I think the biggest problem is that while the west is going through this amazing era of consent culture, the East is still stuck in the 90s with much of its media. So we're over here championing emphatic yeses while they still think romance is pushing someone against a wall and passionately kissing them. Sure that can be nice in certain scenarios but it's always more comfortable for all involved if everyone is on the same page. I was born in the 80s so I lived through this change and it's a really big one; it changes your entire outlook on intimacy as a whole.
Now when we get to more porn territories, a lot of people like rape in porn because it's become super fantastically and those who do like the idea of being pushed up against a wall are more likely to fantasize about being in a rape/rape-like scenario and are more likely to be turned on by that. They likely don't want it for real and they probably don't even want to remember they're into it when not horny, but it still gets them hot and bothered because there is passion in it. Negative passion (rape/abuse/assault/etc.) is still passion.
Anyway, I'm not the biggest fan of rape in my yaoi, but if the story is interesting enough, and it's not supposed to be done “lovingly” (unless they both consent ahead of time and it role-playing any there is aftercare) I will read through it.
If you didn't like the unnecessary rape here, I highly suggest you stay far far away from Profundis. I was raging like a madwoman over the completely unnecessary rape and the absolutely unhinged way the mc reacts to it.
Yes, I definitely agree with everything you said. Honestly, it's unfortunate to say, but thanks to yaoi I feel that have gotten pretty desensitized to rape in porn as well, it doesn't mean I don't feel bad for the characters and their situation.... But it's hard not to disassociate myself when reading these type of stories, otherwise, I'd go mad. Even the line between consent and rape has gotten almost invisible now.... Normally, I don't comment/rant about rape in these type of stories because what's the point? My little voice isn't going to change anything. So, I've gotten used to how overused it is nowadays, I would just roll my eyes and think how unoriginal the writer is, but sometimes if it's plain laziness. But, sometimes you just can't help but say out loud the obvious you know? Profundis sounds curious but I bid your warning and avoid it simply because I know beforehand that it has unnecessary rape.
Yeah, I definitely agree with you. They're pretty unrealistic but also I think it exposes how lazy and unoriginal the writer is.
Out of curiosity I clicked on it since it was on the homepage....I scanned chapter 52 (not by accident) clicked from the pictures section again because I was curious. Scanned it and I must say, I finally found my limit. I don't like cats nor own one, but this is just wrong. Ofc I am not shaming anyone who enjoys reading this.... kind of stuff. Also, checked out the comment section, it's nice to see I wasn't the only one who got put of by it.
Could someone tell me if there is an official English version of this? If so, where? And where can I find the novel? Thanks!
Does that mean it's back? Also, why did I think this manwha was uncensored? For the life of me I couldn't remember
Wtf? I'll wait when the officials are uploaded. Why bother if you're going to butcher the translation? At this point the raws are easier to read than whatever that was
