I think people exception something different. But it the same old stuff with this author. It 's like dang can she think of something else......(⊙…⊙ )
Well maybe if it wasn’t a side story but an entirely new series, she could come up with something new. But this is the same world as Pearl Boy so it’s only right to have it fit the same theme, in my opinion, because readers who like Pearl Boy will obviously be into the same dark plot as this one. It makes sense for her to write it this way.
the author writes rape disguised as "complex themes" there's nothing complex about her characters, they're bland and plain she just likes writing rape and sex
There’s a difference between porn without plot and porn with plot. The author obviously writes the latter. Yes, it’s rape, something horrible that happens to people around the world, especially those in unfortunate circumstances like the characters she created. And that’s the point, it’s supposed to be a messed up uncomfortable story. It ain’t romanticized obviously because even the art shows how traumatizing it was.
If you think this story is genuinely disturbing rape being romanticized, you clearly haven’t read the ACTUAL manhwa out there that is pure rape fantasy with zero plot. There’s a shit ton of those out there unfortunately, but this isn’t one of them.
I’m more confused why people actually came here thinking it was going to be a cute fluffy side story when the main story was like the most wild, tragic, and depressing thing ever lmfao. Obviously this is going to be another hell of a dark roller coaster ride because this series has always dealt with really uncomfortable themes and incredibly “fucked-up-in-the-head” men. No shit it’s going to be very angsty and frustrating. It’s that type of genre. So all these complaints about the rape and toxicity makes me just laugh because, well, this series has always been about that stuff since Pearl Boy so y’all should’ve known before diving into this
