For the love of God go outside lol
Yehwa is basically already dead. He only lives on as a vague entity in the dream sequences Baeksa experiences and the only time he "came back" was to manipulate Baeksa into killing Muyeon for some reason we haven't seen yet.
The impact of what Yehwa lived through and his relationship with Muyeon would be halved if this was suddenly some shounen-ai-esque series where everyone gets to live happily ever after despite their trauma. This is a deep, mature series about what it means to live with the consequences of your actions ((or even inactions in Muyeon's case since he failed to free Yehwa)) and how not everyone wants to live on with their trauma.
If you honestly think someone who is raped and drugged at least a dozen times a day, everyday, and beaten if he tries to refuse or defend himself would be happy to continue living a life like that you're delusional.
I want Yehwa's spirit to find peace and pass on. I want Baeksa to learn to love humans through his time being on the mortal plane. I want Muyeon to realize that he failed to protect the person he loved once already, but that doesn't have to be the same with Baeksa. Each of these characters are getting their second chances through Baeksa and interacting with him. Not everything is going to be sunshine and rainbows.
As for the explicit rape scenes you can literally skip over them. There's lil to no significant dialog in them unless you suddenly see Yehwa himself pop-up and then you can read what is being said then. We been knowing this series wasn't going to be lighthearted. You're supposed to feel disgusted watching the horrible shit that happened to Yehwa. It's not meant to be romantic in the least and is meant to make the reader sympathize with Yehwa/Baeksa and want to crawl out of your skin.
If you can't handle that then go read something else instead of assuming shit.
It would have been really cool if the premis of this story focused on Baeksa learning about humanity and forming a friendship with Yehwa while they killed off all the rapist. Hopefully Yehwa would get a happy ending too and maybe find meaning to keep on living. It would have been even cooler if the step son was part of the team killing rapist instead of being a creepy rapist himself.
Ugh also hate it when authors are super explicit with the rape scenes. I don’t need to see it all to know how violent, degrading and tragic this type of harm is. Like why zoom in on the lightsabers when someone is being raped.
Like I get the feeling that this author is being thoughtful and trying to create a powerful story. But all the graphic rape undermines the horror they’re trying to portray cause now the audience is complicit. Making us the same type of villan as all those bystanders.
Pls someone let me know if Yehwa gets to experience some kind of peace or Justice.
