aoobae's manga / #Rape(2)

This story makes me feel physically ill when I remember it. I had to drop it, its just too fucked up. I started reading this when I was way too young, and now that I am older, I beg anyone under 18 to please drop this like I did, you will be better off without it. After reccently hearing about what happens later on in the story, I'm really glad I dropped this years ago (as if it wasn't bad enough already back then). I do not like how this story glorifies the awful things that happen. It is essentially torture porn. You could argue that things are portrayed in a pornographic nature because it is horror, but i do not think that was the authors intent and that is certainly not how the audience interprets it. I have seen far too many people (most way too young to be reading) who think the events are romantic and want to cosplay/roleplay as the characters. I'm sorry to say this, but if you think that yoon bum and sangwoo are a good couple or you want to be one of them, you are sick, misguided, and need to seek professional help. Despite the moral grievances I have with this story, I have to admit it is well drawn and written. I sympathized with yoon bum and was rooting for the police officer to get yoon bum the hell outta there. I soon realized that would never happen though, yoonbum would just be endlessly tortured, which is when I stopped reading. My morals say this should be a 0/5 because it is deplorable, but it does have some artistic merit, so I will be giving it a 2. Do not reccomend.

Hmmm...I really don't know how to feel about this one. The smut is amazing, but thats only if you ignore the awful characters and lack of morals. Almost every main character is a complete POS, they all just abuse and rape each other, but the story really doesn't frame it how it should. The author makes it seem like we're supposed to be rooting for Duna and her terrible actions are justified because of her past with Minho (they are NOT). That scene where Wookyung rapes Minho is horrifying, but the story is written like we're supposed to feel satisfied that Minho is "getting what he deserves". This is a theme in almost every smut scene with him, which is truly awful. Minho may be an arrogant asshole, but everyone else is just as bad, if not worse. This is NOT how any BDSM dynamic should work irl, and I really hope this isn't some people's first exposure to it. It seems like the author only has a surface level understanding of S&M from porn maybe. Gyerin and the other sub guy are the only 2 likeable characters. If you are just reading this for the smut, please proceed with caution and remember none of the things in this manhwa are acceptable outside of fiction. Otherwise, all the characters are very attractive, the art is nice, and the sex scenes are good.
