Before anyone say anything, I'm aware this story has fade-to-black smut scenes and I've read both novel (there are smut scenes) and the manhwa. I've read the novel few years ago and just found out this story has manhwa adaptation. I'm saying this as manhwa reader pov. IMO this story proves that you don't need smut scenes every few chapters to get readers engage in the story and how the author portray mental health is also a good point (PTSD, relapse, survivor guilt, etc).
This story might not be a well-known story like the ones that are currently popular. My take is if you have a good plot, smut scenes every few chapters are unnecessary if you know how to tell your story. Sometimes it makes me wonder whether smut or SA with helpless MC and hot ML will guarantee the story to be popular or a hit.
But still I'm glad i found this hidden gem which is a good binge read while I'm in a reading slump heh. I would say this is not the BEST story I've read but it's definitely a peak and well-written (overall plot tho there are some things that i dislike too) story for me. Alr enough yapping from me heh
