Ariest's manga / #dark(3)

Kinda only reading for the uke's cute kid brother. The seme is disgusting, annoying and not even good looking and I can't ship him with the uke. Like I literally don't want to read the author romanticizing the rape relationship they've got going on. I just want the uke and his brother to be ok.

The story is messed up, but at the same time really interesting. The author does a good job writing suspense and political intrigue. It's fairly accurate to the mythology, but with some very unexpected and highly dramatic twists that put the legend into a completely different light. And it's nice to see a story that focuses on plot and character development first, instead of romance. A lot of the characters are super interesting, flawed, but also really likeable. Overall one of the best webtoons I've ever read in terms of character design, world building and plot development. I only have two complaints: 1. there's too much rape and it feels fetichized 2. the story sometimes has a tonal issue, where the characters' reactions and tone of the story goes directly from something traumatic to something cute or funny. This is especially the case after rape scenes. And I don't like it, it feels uncomfortable and almost offensive how light the author and characters take something as traumatic as rape.
