People have lost the ability to cope with open ended endings. There’s two ways to look at it.
1. The demon orchestrated the entire brutality to maximize the despair of MC and then manipulated him into a contract for his soul,
2. The villagers were also evil to the demon like they were to MC and the Demon will fulfill the MC wish of having someone love him.
It’s up to you! The the entire pointttt, it can’t be longer because the idea was shock value and vague to let the reader decide what they want to believe.
People keep calling this a story… this is clearly just porn lol… there’s no story here
exactly what I'm saying there's no plot
You cannot have a story about religious abuse without having a tough conversation about purity culture.
Like if course the most resentful character experience sexual abuse… shocked but not shocking
It okay for you to wish the MC didn’t get raped- duhhh who would be for that? But the MC has been raised as tool since he was a kid and used in every single way by people who he trusted. Plus, his religious trauma made him devalue himself for it!
His trauma is apart of the narrative! Not every convo about SA is going yo look like a PSA- sometimes it’s tragedy in a manga unfortunately. I get being shocked/ I wasn’t expecting it to go there. I thought this was a fluff read too. But in this case- adding SA isn’t that crazy. It works in the story and does build out our MC and current antagonist backstory well.
I just think it’s very dangerous to start soap boxing about no SA in a story that implied it and also really framed the who leads right now.
oh my god thank you you put it perfectly
Idk it’s been 8 months and what really has even happened? I feel like kiss me liar was better paced… this has been kind of slow.
The comments allude to more plot than story has this far.
It was on hiatus for 4 months, due to health issues of the artist.
I think most read the novel by now.^^
Idk if people are being obtuse but the story is using the supernatural force of the black water to parallel the real threat of the abuse of power of the church and nobility.
This is not a story for children- which is low key obvious it’s adults… you got to approach it with maturity.
How they take talented vulnerable and young people and control and torture them.
I get not wanting to read rape porn- but this is clearly not that. It wasn’t graphic- it was haunting for sure. This story isn’t a comfort read- it’s a supernatural tragedy of humans.
I totally get people not reading with anything with SA but saying it wasn’t necessary arent taking into account the message the author is giving… SA here fits in with the plot as much as the murder, torture, mind control, and jealousy is.
This story had so much promise and it ended as a flop I’m sorry. Lots of untapped potential. We needed the author of rough uniform to step in immediately.
Idk if ur being deadass or not what potential are we talking about this is NOT Anti P.T
IM DEADASS lol check out rough uniform - that’s more the speech. Or seven sex eight sex
Yall don’t know a good thing when you have it. This is for the freaks. If you want plot go check out shounen ai and leave us alone.
EXACTLY why are these ppl complaining? Us freak connoiseurs love this
You are right, but Smuts can be both smeXY & intriguing. Sure, it's enjoyable to watch sx stuff, especially special ones like tentacle sx, in the end personal preferences matter. Since this is yaoi, others expect something good as well.
I hope we get more domestic stories of yhem
Me too
