The violent depiction of rape and how it was just… glossed over in this really, really threw me off? Idk why people are saying elsewise.
Writing such things into your story doesn’t automatically make it a bad story, but instead how it’s handled and how the author chooses to navigate their characters.
With how graphic it was here, you’d expect more from the MC and actual insight on his psych and mental state, and most importantly, NOT a H.E (happy ending)… but no. It was a stark contrast from how seemingly deep the writing and substance went into the actual mafioso.
I’m ignoring anyone who goes “b-but Caeser was already riddled with red flags!1!1!!!” since that is not the point and does not matter, as the action itself wasn’t what caused this story to go downhill, but how this author chose to handle the ‘aftermath’ (if you can even call it that, as said before, it was glossed over.)
Right? The fact that he shot, kidnapped, and raped him was so quickly dismissed, it really irritated me because Lee Won was obviously bothered by it (see chapter 56, Lee Won's nightmare). Honestly, I hoped that he would talk with Caesar about it, but no, instead, they had to play a survival game , which I don't think did anything to help him resolve that nightmare.
I feel conflicted about this part as well
Tsar is at fault and indeed I too think that it happened because of his attitude and personality type wrote by author
But I did hope that they will have a healthier relationship somehow by talking about what happened I mean lee got shot and raped and he forgave tsar but I kinda feel sad ,it was not explained in more detail about how lee won processed what happened you know ... If it was shown at least we will have known a bit of why he forgave tsar that easily
There’s a fine line between patching up plotholes and tying loose ends vs just straight up dragging out the story; and this manhua has managed to cross long beyond that line. This could’ve ended HUNDREDS of chapters ago
If they really felt it necessary to make an… entire spin off, season, whatever for WoWo (that’s twice or even thrice as long as the original story?!), they could’ve made it an entire different series and actually put more… thought into the plot because this has long become ridiculous.
It’s like reading a non beta-read word-count minimum essay of word vomit that was conjured hours before the deadline.
Hope little Mo is using this time to take care of himself. He’s clearly extremely stressed to the point of misguiding anger and needs the time off (away from the group and all) for himself.
I may’ve used the wrong word, but he had way too much built up anger and stress that a majority *was* misguided towards one person when there were many contributing factors that led up to that moment. He was bottling up too much and let it all out like that. It’s good he let it out, but he needs to take care and work on himself. That cannot be healthy for his mentality
I don't exactly want Kang to suffer, I just don't want the story to end in the predictable "happy" way BLs or really any romance does; the MC being oblivious and forgiving every and anything. The novel has said that he's done some effed-up things during those 7 years, and he's yet to mention it to MC yet. Not even once.
"We've all done bad things, what's different about him?" Is in a sense correct, we know this, but that's not the main issue here. It's the fact that's he's not yet owned up to what he's exactly been doing during that time and is instead trying to pursue a happy lucky-go marriage with the MC he once disowned and degraded. The disease he's gotten from marking the MC is only the TIP of the iceberg, and what he's only willing to show him unless someone forcibly brought the rest of the crap he's done to light.
He's not owning up to everything he did, he's instead sweeping it under the rug as if it never happened and keeping the poor guy in the dark. Until he learns to truly own up to his mistakes, he definitely needs to be put through the wringer more.
I realised people may not want to look through the comments so here’s a spoiler

He turned to a life of drugs and sex during those 7 years. The reason he had no clue which omega he marked was because 1) he didn’t know MC was an omega, but also because he messed around with so many omegas and couldn’t figure out which one he marked
i almost skipped out on reading it due to the somewhat low star rating. Turns out it’s low due to people not reading the T/N.
i’m glad I clicked on it, insta bookmark. Praying this becomes a series just as 19 days did, or if not, a constantly uploading 4koma.
