Gotta love how the person who chocked and brutally raped him is treated like what he did was a slap on the wrist and he gets a happy 'heartfelt' ending with his victim. And this ladies and gentlemen doesn't get the horror tag it deserves, no. It's romance. Mc gets blamed by ml for something he didn't do, without being given a chance to explain himself AT ALL and gets brutally raped for it, with ml justifying being a rapist over the fact that he considers mc a bad person. And for what? Spreading a bad rumor! Lmao, a rapist calls someone who spread a rumor (actually didn't) a bad person. Well, dear ml, guess what gets you jail time. Aside from the obvious assault, he was also making assumptions based on NOTHING but his own bias. And his punishment? A single slap amd they have sex. Literally the ONLY time it was consensual. Dude is so impulsive and violent he's a danger to society.
I won't even comment on the plot which was boring as fuck. The manhwa was nothing but a freaking shitshow.

What the ml did to mc is coercive and if he sleeps with him, it's going to be rape. Coercive rape. Mc is FORCED to say yes to this relationship because he will lose his job if he says no after this manipulative stunt ml pulled by mentioning their deal in front of mc's supervisors. This is messed up and unfair and ml's past and current situation isn't an excuse. I haven't finished the webtoon yet but i hope they won't brush it off and make mc immediately fall in love as if he wasn't fucking harassed.

Not really but *mild spoiler* they don't do anything without his explicit consent (like not coercive) both parties actually want to do it cuz they develop feelings for each other. The initial agreement was coercive but they only held hands for the longest time until feelings were actually developing. Yeah we could've down w the manipulation and blackmail but it's still a v cute read

Did a man write this?
I was all for it until the incely 'slept with a lot of guys' comments of the guy and the obvious fact that the sex scenes were written by a virgin(although i don't necessarily require realism for smut). Not to mention the 'submissive' comments and the reactions of fl which very much remind me of the male gaze hentai archetype.

Idk, i've read a lot of works(on ao3, wattpad and officially published ) written by women, including the type you mentioned and i've never seen one written by a girl, which involves a guy who makes these types of comments that are generally too unattractive and flat for the female gaze. On the other hand, i've read plenty of male gaze hentai that are pretty similar regarding the personality of the woman and the man in this manhwa.

So that there won't be any misunderstandings, the artist SUCKS at creating fl's expressions. They made her seem as if she enjoys what happens to her. That is NOT the impression you get from the book. And for those who call her stupid, try growing up in her environment, groomed and abused and you'll see how your oh so intelligent self wouldn't be as such, especially in this time period with literally ZERO true social interactions. I fucking hate ml, he's even more disgusting in the book.
If one person loved her, that was Fabian but he died unjustly from the hands of that worthless sociopath who gets a kick from torturing a little girl that has nothing to do with what happened to him and his mother. He DOESN'T care about how she feels and what happens to her as long as he can have her around to use her. He only cares about power, he's nothing but a hollow piece of trash that is unable to ever feel anything as emotionally complex as love. He's only capable of selflove. He sees her as someone bellow him, as less than an object. Life next to him is and will keep on being miserable for fl. Fuck i would pay the author to read an alternative ending where he dies painfully so i can laugh. But that's not possible so... The novel was just misery porn unfortunately.
After reading sadistic beauty side story which had a shitty ending, i'm glad this one at least gives our broken protagonist the happiness he deserves. But no, i'm not reading this. I don't think i can handle it. It's too painful. Too unfair.
