Spoiler:
tbh ur right, i have read the novel but in all honesty the uke is pretty fucking stupid and has absolutely zero self worth.. I mean he is pitiful and a lot of horrible things happened to the uke, but he doesn’t even get revenge or anything and never stops for a moment like „Hey, im a human, I should stop acting like a mindless pet and know my worth atleast a little“ but ohh noo he develops some kind of stockholm syndrome and neither does the seme get a redemption arc or anything like that. Uke just continues to act like a mindless whore until he eventually tries to off himself and survives, but the typical „losing memories“ card comes in LMFAO and the fucking seme takes advantage of this situation and starts loving him „normally“ afterwards and people interpret it as a „happy ending“. Btw Seme did all of this torture and humiliation etc because Uke didnt give his virginity to him as he was raped by Second lead seme and yeah. After the suicide attempt the 2 other seme just kinda vanish aswell.
lmfaooo this just justified my annoyance. thanks for the heads up btw. i normally dont get pissed off with these kinds of stories i swear its just the goddamn mc not thinking at all or doing anything to atleast try to squeak his way out. like i would respect it if it was him trying to get out of this situation and getting caught again and again, but the author made it really easy to dislike the mc by making him not do anything at all for several chapters. its just chapters of him being tortured and honestly who wants to see that..
You need to understand that he was manipulated for a long period of time, and not only that, he was financially dependant on the ml. It's completely understandable why he doesn't do that.
Like I hope you don't use the same logic against irl victims because that's straight up victim blaming
no, of course not, these are fictional characters
but I still agree with you. Seme had this all planned out from the very beginning when they met (I think they were like 15?) and since he not only became financially but emotionally dependent on him aswell, for example uke barely having friends except other 2 seme and only hanging out with them. Until the end he always waited for uke to crawl back to him (which most of the times he did) because he knew how uke was like. I am not excusing the behavior in any way and I fucking hate the seme so much, he has done more damage to uke than good you know? In the end of the novel, uke only defended himself one single time and it was irritating because the seme got „turned on“ by it. Atp the author was pmo aswell and a lot of other people too. Its understandable he developed stockholm syndrome but I just wish there were moments where he would properly defend himself (like at the time in the novel, where uke was actually living alone and not dependent on seme anymore) and it happened several times and he escaped, but sick seme would always find him, and it was just a loop all over again. I wish the author put some self defense on the uke at those times but he still didn’t which was sadly quite annoying. Like in almost 95% of the manhwas ukes are always seen as little babies and all that stuff and this manhwa isnt your typical bl manhwa but real psychological torture and more. Seeing him kinda step up for himself would have been a great representation but sadly not. Its also like the authors are obsessed with showing ukes as weak as possible, most of the time making them look like children so it becomes a stereotype as how people see and portray ukes. Nonetheless most of the people including me feel horrible for the uke and really pissed off at the seme because like there was barely any redemption arc if you can even call it… just very annoying from the author the way uke was displayed, even after all those years of experience and coming to the point where he was dependent on himself and didnt see seme for several years
hi, i really want to read the novel. could u pls share the link or let me know where i can find the english translation??
hey, i am so sorry, I saw your comment and digged and more research for about an hour but I just can’t find it I read the novel a very long time ago, and I remember it was very hard to get. It was in korean only and I had also paid money for it back then so I self translated the novel with the help of a website. It was a lot of effort but I was just too curious about the ending. I am sorry once again. If I find something, i‘ll remind you~
bro ofc i know about irl scenarios like these and the difficulty the victim would be in. not stupid enough to victim blame irl i hate it when the topic skews to that direction when we arent even discussing abt irl people. but i was pointing out, and assumingly the person that replied, is that the author is insane for what they have created. this was also what i meant by "who wants to see that". the author is just making this story for masochists atp bc this is not entertaining anymore, idk what audience theyre catering to. so yea hating on the author for prolonging this torture the mc is in. didnt know i had to spell this out
anyway just had to add this in coz "BUT IRL" ppl piss me off too
aw, thank u sm for going out of your way to look it up—I really appreciate it! No worries at all, you’ve already been such a big help. thanks again! (▰˘◡˘▰)
no victim blaming ok but damn is he stupid af its pissing me off lmfao
