Real brainiac moves over here not sure if you can see the likes
That ratio of likes to the majority won’t change.
Cute majority curious who that is didnt know 10 was higher than 17
Literally look at the comment section. It’s not that hard. And I’m not sure why you’re so focused on your 17 likes, you’re in your own little well.
not everyone who agrees with me needs to join the comment war your ‘majority’ is like five people arguing in circles
being excited for seeing someone getting r*ped can’t be justified by “it’s fictional” you’ve not rude, you’re sick and motherless. reading it vs being excited for sa is not the same. not all the readers like YOU enjoy the plot, they just wanna see how it will end. go and burn in hell.
Majority as in the comment sections, not your little pond.
ur slow huh ...brain dead fr

I need to see jiwooks bloody asshole go cry abt it
Wow…you’re in luck, I think.
And to be honest, call me fucked but he got a taste of what Juyeon had to endure (maybe a bit more intense but the point is this is Juyeon’s ‘justice’ imo). Two gang rapes in story as far as I remember from novel, that’s it.
I understand that fiction explores many topics, especially taboo, dark, or uncomfortable. But this medium in particular, as many others still exploit real-life issues, so we shouldn’t pretend it doesn’t have any real-world impact just because it’s labeled as “messed-up fiction meant to entertain messed-up fantasy.” That’s so severely reductive. I’m not going to stand here and pretend I’m a good person, because I still read questionable shit, but I’m not going to make weird comments and tell myself “well it’s just fiction” either. That’s just not the person I am and it’s fine if you fw this, but I just reacted in bad taste because I found it so offensive what they said. My bad for having boundaries and agreeing with someone who agrees with me.
I’m not trying to be proper or correct; in fact, I’m not even trying to stroke the moral ego you’re implying I have, and I just think it’s worth asking how we engage with it. Stories do indeed form our perspectives, fiction or not, it’s still based in human experience, even the Eldritch and alien bases their stories in war, colonization, fear of the unknown, etc. Even this story is based on a modern timeline based on human experience, such as revenge, sexual assault, education, social hierarchy, and homophobia and so many things. That’s it.
I’m still reading illegally on this website, and I did read the first couple of chapters, so there’s no room for me to claim I’m better than someone, but I can still get offended when I read something that discomforts me, so I agreed with someone who feels the same as me.
I scroll a few minutes to get an idea of the reader's thoughts, who doesn’t do that? I do that for any medium I come across. It’s not “doom-scrolling” to make an observation and form an opinion. I’m not digging up and scrapping quotes from this comment section or any other platform. I’m not looking for “research” to write some scientific thesis, you’re blowing this out of proportion.
Yes, I’m still part of the audience, don’t make it too obvious. But I am not the target audience. You can’t lump everyone together and reduce it to “well, you’re here and that’s that.” People seek mediums for different purposes, and this reply section is proof of that. Yeah, we’re all in the same boat, but we’re not all headed in one direction. It’s like watching those police body cams on YouTube. People have their ways of interacting with the media, but it’s all a matter of intention.
Also, performative outrage…? Lol, I’m literally in this comment section of an illicit website sharing my piece with someone who I agree with and people who agree with me. Once they did, that was the end of the conversation for me. This isn’t a publicity stunt lol
You don’t have to reply btw
Dude, I'm sorry but I really can't get behind this idea that people's intentions about this media are enough to relieve them of the moral burden of reading problematic shit in the first place. You bring up cop bodycam footage, which falls into the exact same thing I was talking about. Of course, that's a more serious matter at hand because it's real life. But whether you're watching those videos because you want to analyze criminal body language or because you just really love the cops, you are all still participating as an audience member. And that specific example is particularly heinous because it's boosting the soft power of the pigs, but I digress. In my opinion when it comes to these graphic stories we are all the same and we are all headed in the same direction. And that direction is sin, lol. Even if you're reading just for shock value or because you have a perfectly innocent desire to see what happens next, you are still participating in a voyeuristic manner. Same as all of us.

Cute insult. Still doesn’t change the fact you’re here reading like the rest of us. Stay mad.
Appreciate the long essay, but you kinda proved my original point without realizing it. You’re still here, still reading, still reacting... just with a different justification. And that’s fine. No one said you couldn’t feel a way about fiction, but the issue’s always been people acting like their personal discomfort grants them moral authority over others in the same space. Everyone navigates fiction differently. Some lean in, some critique, some skip scenes, some scroll past. None of it makes one person inherently better than another for being here. That’s it. No one’s saying stories exist in a vacuum, but at the end of the day, this is a sandbox. And no amount of "I’m only here for the discourse" changes the fact you still chose to watch it play out.
I feel like my eyes are about to be blessed in the next chapters
