You know, I don't wanna be rude because I think people's hearts are in the right place, but I think condolence messages would be better off not sent on the illegal pirating site where the artist can't read them since mangago is blocked in Korea. Unfortunately the artist does not have social media but you can send messages of support to Kinoko so hopefully they may be passed on. They address the hiatus here and wish everyone good health, so if you wanna say something nice, you can do so here.
You guys need to stop crying over how much you love the characters appearances but hate the abusive relationship. Go to google and search up “ORV” and you can find the exact same guys in a healthy relationship Lmao
So this is just a compilation of the minor changes that have been made for the manhwa adaptation because they are truly minuscule but people keep saying the novel has "much better writing" or is different when almost everything important has been adapted 1:1
- Jiwook is a little more vulgar with his sexual harassment of Juyeon when he gets drunk in the first scene at the bar
- The novel actually shows Juyeon hauling Jiwook to the motel after drugging him and paying with Jiwook's card
- The novel has a short scene of Jiwook cleaning himself up and leaving the motel the next day
- When Jiwook meets up with Juyeon in the evening, Juyeon is talking to a female student who is only there briefly
- Jiwook and Juyeon's fight gains more onlookers as people laugh at Jiwook's blustering attempts to beat the fuck out of Juyeon
- In the car ride to Juyeon's house, Juyeon sexually harasses him back and comments on how tight his ass was
And that's really about it. The manhwa has been extremely faithful to the novel, down to the expressions and specific dialogue. I assume the changes I listed above were made for better pacing. So for anyone who's hoping the manhwa will adapt out the gang rape or the more gruesome scenes that are coming up, you're shit outta luck.
Crazy how 40+ people liked a comment on here condemning this story and saying that yaoi readers are homophobic and condone rape in real life! And what do you know! The OP is a terf who did a full self-expose, claiming that trans women only "think they are women" (they are women). And that they're porn addicts and rape apologists! When I say this stupid anti-fujo craze on this site is 9/10 times a dogwhistle for bigotry, I mean it. Some folks aren't even drinking the kool-aid anymore. They're butt-chugging it. What ever happened to shame????
Looking at these comments you KNOW some suburban white mom is getting blackout drunk and forgot to take away her 13 year old's ipad
What is it about Lee Geumsan’s work that keeps angering these absolute lobotomites lol. It’s the exact same crowd that was pissed about Sadistic Beauty. Ig they just take a break from eating glue 24/7 to freak out about the story and act like the characters are real people who are getting hurt. There are still people in 2025 on this crazy pilgrimage for Minho’s honor, as if he isn’t a fictional character whose story ended years ago. We’re probably going to see people in 2027 making petitions on change dot org to get Jiwook emancipated from Juyeon.
I make fun of the people complaining about the art being “wasted” on this story only to keep devouring it like fish under an oil rig scrambling for a piece of fried chicken, but I get it. Lee Geumsan could illustrate for a story about a guy tweezing his ingrown hairs and I’d still read it.
On god Jiwook’s high cholesterol is gonna take him out before Juyeon can get his revenge in
You call someone out for shitting on this manhwa but doing tricks on a het manhwa that also glamorizes abuse and rape and they crash out and accuse you of stalking </3
People will harp on this series specifically for being baldly violent and you click on their profile to find more rapey manhwa. Everyone has a line they cannot cross in fiction, but I feel like once you start accusing an artist of heinous shit IRL you need to hold all the others to those same standards. Literally: “I can excuse rape and domestic abuse but I draw the line at gang rape”
Ch. 9 Juyeon is posted up with the black button up, black pants, and the white jacket. It’s so over.
Jooyeon in chapter 9 got the black dress shirt and pants + white jacket. It’s so over.

The biggest wokejoshi you'll ever meet.
I love both yaoi and yuri !!
MAKE TOXIC YURI GREAT AGAIN!!!!
I’ve seen like 10 vids abt BL back to back and lately there have been more vids on that so I kinda wanna talk about fetishization in the BL space and have some questions. So I’ve noticed a pattern. Lately, I’ve noticed more and more white queer especially white mlm (male luv male) speak out against it. They say that BL is harmful and that ......
Reading the backstory chapters is making my week WORSE. Seeing the innocent kid he was compared to the deranged rapist he is now is shocking. Seeing how Jiwook destroyed his mind, his body, and his future with his abuse hurts so bad. Obv Jiwook doesn’t remember any of it but he ruined that boy for love FOREVER. And imo his actions aren’t driven entirely by hate like some ppl think. You can see it a little in the occasional nonviolent interactions he has with Jiwook. Juyeon’s still mourning the love he had for him. (Which is a little hard to see because he’s almost never not raping that man.) But he does outright say in one of the chapters that he wanted to make Jiwook fall for him and unable to live without him.
I still have a fuck ton of complaints about the story but the way it has me flipping back and forth between hating and feeling sorry for the characters is kinda tea.
And I cannot for the life of me decide if this is just pure cheeks or actually peak. Obviously the pwp is beyond gratuitous and the characters are all unlikeable. BUT I lowkey think it has some pretty solid meta on Korean men, i.e. rape culture, homophobia, COCSA, bystander syndrome, PTSD, etc. (this is me going off what I’ve read + some spoilers of the extra content I saw). Like Jiwook is obviously a horrible monster for what he did, but his character development (if you can even call it that) as Juyeon destroys everything about him is kinda compelling in a tragic, fucked up way. (Could be more compelling if he weren’t getting ploughed every single chapter but whatever.) I think it’s so funny bc the author was probably going for mindbreak pwp but accidentally wrote a decent depiction of trauma.
(Also you can buy the chapters on lilyonthevalley.com! No need to thank me Lol)
Absolutely no hate to the uploader but mangago completely fries the image quality which is good for the ppl who don’t want to see every single pixel of the mc’s bleeding ass, I guess. But if the fuzziness is distracting you, then you’ll probably have a better time reading on the other site that starts with a b and ends with an ato
Genuinely clenched my cheeks in despair reading this update. Bro needs to go to the hospital but ik he’s too proud to do that so he’s probably gonna pop a hemorrhoid during class next chapter.
