Why on earth does this have such high ratings. Has the standard for yaoi really dropped this low? Illogical (barely there) plot, typical rape trope, "omg I've known you for 2 seconds and you physically abused me but now I love you" shit. What?? And now the author is trying to play it off as some fluffy, romantic story? What a waste of good art.

If you have the talent to draw like this, use it more wisely. Creat an intriguing, genuine romantic story about two broken people and DON'T USE FURTHER ABUSE AS A SELLING POINT. More yaoi authors need to realise that you can create a romantic relationship between two guys without having one raping the other (twice!) and excusing it as a menial plot device because it's okay! They'll fall in love anyone! Because that's totally sane and healthy!

With the amount of young people who are exposed to yaoi these days, the amount of rape/abuse tropes played off as a means to start a relationship is seriously worrying. I thought mangakas would have progressed in their ways of thinking over the past decade.

*** EDIT: So many negative comments just because I pointed out the obvious. Please read my reply further down if you want to know why I feel like this, rather than judging me because I don't have the same tastes as you!

Patiently waiting for decent mangas/manhwas that aren't polluted with rape tropes... I have no issues with those who have a rape kink, as this is fantasy and they are free to enjoy what they like, but it'd be nice to get some variety in yaoi where 99% of it isn't literally rape and abuse. I thought I got used to it, but this manhwa is rediculous. The characters are all twisted and messed up. There's barely any plot, just rape, manipulation, mental and physical abuse, hypocrisy, more rape, probable mental illness, even more rape, and oh yeah- more rape, all out of 'love', obviously.
