That was meant to be a thumbs up
I completely agree, showing the graphic scenes makes it feel like it's regular smut meant to be enjoyed by readers. It leaves me confused as to what the author's goal was?
It's okay :)
Actually I did take a look at the authors other works in the meantime and they have some even worse stuff so I guess this is indeed another smut for people to get off to....(I didn't know the author before writing my review).
It's fiction so people like what they like but I don't understand why you have to portray a case of abuse only for it to be buried under graphic scenes.
Either write a serious story or just smut so why even bother with the inner monologues to show how much the victim hates it...it's probably a link too but I don't understand it either.

This is literal cp somebody uploaded. This author exclusively writes erotic content of little boys being violently assaulted because it’s his fetish and it’s for pedos. Somebody uploaded it here exposing thousands of children that use this site to cp. This is literally illegal content in most countries. The internet is not a safe place.
He makes cp. violent brutal cp for pedos. This should have never been uploaded here. That’s why these illegal sites for manga are sketchy. This is erotic content made for that purpose. Report it so the site can take it down.
LITERALLY!! I also use MRM but I know what I might see scrolling, such things like this shouldn't be on here.
I looked at some of their other works and I was shocked, this one at least pretends to take the abuse seriously and portray the inner thoughts of the victim so I gave an honest review.
I thought the author was trying but NO they're a deranged individual...
I would not recommend mrm. It’s a site similar to this one that scrubs the web for content but at least mangago tries to take down any cp they find has been uploaded and it doesn’t let that much porn filter through. You can usually tell from the cover or lack of censoring which is smut vs porn. Mangago did a huge sweep deleting the cp on here a while back. The safest site to use is probably mangadex and you can filter to exclude pornographic content and sexual violence so that you don’t come across these things.
When bad content does sneak through I just try to warn people because I hate that minors are inevitably being exposed to actual cp and I always see people in the comments hoping the author is just trying to make a point. Just know that when you see gratuitous sexual violence in manga, pornographic or not, it is popular as fan service in Japan and Japan doesn’t have good laws around keeping explicit graphic sexual violence out of anything that isn’t aired on tv because it’s legal there. Cp is legal there and very normalized in the manga/anime communities. That’s why it’s trickles out across the internet.
I'm glad you're warning people, I'm not a minor but it's sick to imagine a child stumbling upon this.
I know some teens claim to have seen worse but this is literal CP! It's highly illegal in my country as well.
I thought this was gonna be a twisted psychological work but not actual CP with the intention of being enjoyed.
It's crazy how that's legal in Japan, it reminds me of the general lack of awareness towards sexual violence in Manhwa too. The law is so lackluster and doesn't recognize same sex violence as an illegal act so many authors will include it under the premise of "redeeming" the person later on.
As someone who enjoys psychological stories, here's my opinion.
This covered a lot of good aspects and failed miserably at the rest.
For one I liked having his inner thoughts and the artist did a good job at visualizing his despair.
Also the details about noticing his brother and freezing up which is a common reaction in victims of abuse.
Same with becoming less resistant and loosing strength at the mere touch of the abuser.
You become paralyzed and fear for your life.
I liked that the conclusion didn't involve the younger brother falling for his abuser and actually ended rather sad (loosing the only person he wanted to open up to).
In that aspect it was realistic and a good depiction of the decaying mental state of a victim of abuse (especially the sexual kind).
Now onto the bad aspects, unfortunately this turned into another work that romanticizes sexual abuse.
There was no need for the graphic sex scenes.
They felt like smut meant to be enjoyed by the reader.
I get wanting to show the reality and scope of the abuse happening but why did it have to include a close up of the brothers dick penetrating him?
There are far too many of those and leave a bad aftertaste.
You can realistically show abuse, for example "A cruel god reigns", severe case of child SA but it never showed it directly, just glimpses into the horror of what the protagonist had to endure.
Accompanied by his inner thoughts.
It's unfortunate because this story had good writing on the inner monologues.
