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)
