at the very least i think the translator’s note in the novel? (can’t remember if it was written by translators or the author) are explicitly clear that readers shouldn’t listen to richard since what they’re doing is so dangerous
havent read the novel but thank you for sharing! im glad they did add a warning in the novel, though the manhwa creators shouldve definitely added one too. there are a lot of incorrect and outright dangerous portrayals (im not talking about in the doghouse specifically, im thinking of other novels/manhwa/etc) with 0 indication that they shouldnt be followed, and while choking is more "mainstream" than other kinks, there are not a lot of resources for proper techniques to do it "safely" (since its impossible to choke someone with 0% risk), which leads people to look towards fiction for guidance
yes i agree 100% fiction can be tricky and if you’re gonna publish anything officially then i think you should do your due diligence especially if it’s smth as big as in the doghouse
i know that its fiction and fiction does not have to be 1:1 with reality. regardless, i do wish they added proper warnings in the beginning (aka "dont do this in real life, if youre interested in it then do proper research first") bc this portrayal is especially incorrect with reality (dont choke people till they pass out they will genuinely get brain damage), though i did appreciate that richard did mention compression of just the artery, not the entire neck, so the author did do some research definitely
its still better than the sadistic beauty "warnings" tho (calling violent rape "extreme bdsm" lmfao)
