Okay I'm not saying its y'all cus different stories attract different audiences buuuuut it is so wild to me that there are stories on this site that have a higher rating and readers completely overlook rapist MLs but cheaters nah that's where we draw our hard line in the sand. lol...
backing up my statement with: Beware of the Full Moon in March (literally entire story revolves around redemption of a rapist)
**...I started listing a bunch more where rapist ML/'semes are shrugged off and have a higher rating, but then I was like idk if ppl would consider that spoilers?? With BotFMiM its pretty much in the beginning of the story & kind of the whole premises.. so I don't really consider that a spoiler.
Idk if you've been on this site long enough, I'm sure you have a laundry list of stories that come to mind.
Disclaimer: I am not trying to make light of cheating, I am simply pointing out an observation that I have come across while being on this site.
I think it's easier to understand getting cheated on vs getting raped because the former happens to everyone. But yeah, I agree with you lol.
And you know what? That’s a good point. I have a hard time with all the SA in a lot of these stories & cheating is obviously not nearly on the same level as SA. But I will say…I have read stories with both and they make the redemption arc so deep it truly feels like the person understood the hurt and pain they’ve caused + spent a good amount of time trying to correct their behavior and prove their worth despite their offenses.
This guy…lol where is the remorse? What changed? He built a house & kept his casual happy-go-lucky attitude after literally trying to kill a minor PLUS cheating PLUS threatening to out someone?? He’s the pits He’s morally deprived in multiple aspects and much like the rest of his life he did not have to work hard to reap his reward. I think that’s the biggest issue people have with this. It’s the lack of development and accountability in that character that put people off the story.
not to be annoying but this is free to read on t a p a s and you don't even need to make an account. Clicks help the author so it would be cool if y'all would support them through there. it's cool that we can discuss the story on this thread tho but yea

What started as a dark psychological thriller, turned into one of the deepest explorations of generational trauma. This was devastating and rlly felt like I was reading a piece of the author.
Honestly I think a lot of elements could be lost on certain readers. (most likely younger ones,, and especially in the third/final act)
My biggest complaint is that I think the we coulda got the message without drawing the underage characters in a lewd way. Certain panels I was like I'm mad uncomfortable reading this... mangakas why... like pls stop doing this. I'm tired of saying this shiiiiiii
Damn Wish I realized the chapters are out of order sooner, now I gotta back track. oh well here goes the re-read :3
I have been letting this one simmer for awhile now, because I know I'm going to binge read it to the end once I pick it up. Soooo pls let this one update sometime in the near future. ty <3
Now hear me out. This manga has great potential to debate what one should do and morality. But if we go all the way back: If Makoto and Shiori didn't have such a messed up and complicated upbringing the loop would have never started. Hell even if the father had any decency instead of sacrificing his daughter for insurance money the loop probably wouldn't have started either... Really could argue that this story is a great example of how children and youth are made to suffer by the adults around them.
The vicious cycle of violence was started and encouraged by the world the adults created. The kids stuck in the loop were truly alone in their fight for survival.
this rlly is such a good portrayal of how younger folks ((age & emotional intelligence wise)) try their best to handle very heavy things. How they can hurt those around them without even consciously meaning to. Or act selfishly out of fear and anxiety.
.
Chan-il character is so important in contrast to Skylar & Cirrus. Its intentional that we're shown how he has an attentive parent in the house.
For the most part we know that Skylar and Cirrus have both been through very traumatic events and weathered that storm alone. ((yes Skylar had some type of psychiatric care but that's another point I would like to go into ,,, sometimes even therapy and psychiatric care can do harm. Many seeking help often get re-traumatized in the process. Just a reminder that it can be difficult to find the right care, not every therapist/psychiatrist is going to be good fit. Theres plenty of documentation and lived experience to confirm this point. If ur seeking help and something doesn't feel right don't lose hope, the right care team for you does exist.. it might just take a few tries to find what works.))
TLDR: AAAAAANywaay my point being that we are given these two contrasts as a real example of how different those who were raised in survival mode may act vs someone who was allowed room to grow and learn comfortably in a safer environment.
You just did such a good point! I had a conversation with a friend the other day and they said that most psychiatrists don't care about solving the problem but rather mask it with a mountain of medicine. (Skylar's huge amount of drugs that never helped him)
^^^ yes that scene was so important to Skylar's story, and was done so well as its a reality for many ppl. I think we are so quick to say "go to therapy" which like Yes, lets destigmatize mental health care... buuuut we can't completely disregard the very real issues that exist within help/treatment. It rlly just isn't as simple as "just get a therapist"
Its wild that I was just discussing relationship anarchy, and then got to thinking how it could present in manga aaaaand then stumbling across this. Might wait a bit for it to progress before starting it thooo.
Maybe I'm reaching but its what I thought about after skimming and reading some comments
I am appreciating the hell out of Hell's gothic aesthetic. like fck who's ur interior designer?
