I like your comment and I agree. I don't think artists should shy away from difficult topics or be afraid of depicting twisted relationships as long as it's not done in a glorifying or romatisicing manner (which on the other hand is problematic). Additionally I don't think us, the readers should have to feel guilty about reading it either. All experiences can't be packaged in a lovely and comfortable way and complicated feelings and relationships are often a basis to create multifaceted characters and intricet strories with depth. I rather have a great grim tale than a considerate one thats shallow and boring.
eloquently put!
This isn't another preachy rape=bad comment, like we aren't all aware that's the case (seriously don't come here to shame people for reading a work of fiction that's actually relevant to the time period). Anyways, I really appreciated that not only did Nakyum not get hard during the sex, but also had problems breathing. It made everything seem so much more real. Nakyum is reaching the lowest lows and soon enough I imagine there will be nowhere to go but up. Also, I don't know if there will be something between him and Seungho or not later on, but if they do have a romantic interaction, Nakyum's clear physical reluctance in this scene will be so important for Seungho to understand that just taking someone against their will won't produce the kind of satisfying ending he's after.
