Tballerina want to read (All 125)

I read the novel because I had to know if the princess died. She didn’t die!
From here on, there are spoilers: A blood bag was already planted on her during the play. The reason the main character, Leticia, panicked was that the princess stopped breathing and didn’t move. From what I understood, it was the white mage’s magic that paralyzed her, or she may have been drugged. People suspected Leticia of killing the princess because a fire started immediately after the “murder.” This was because oil had been poured around the area beforehand and disguised with the scent of incense. There’s more, but Leticia solves this case too. I feel like the main character is a little detective, and I love that! She even solved the white mage mystery without realizing it by guessing that the genius doctor looked like a white mage.
Which chapter is that?

Hyesung assaulted Dojin
But that’s something people aren’t ready to talk about
And since everybody likes to throw around that r word
HYESUNG RAPED DOJIN
People keep saying “Hyesung was assaulted by Dojin” when the story itself shows the opposite — Hyesung climbed into Dojin’s bed, initiated everything, and ignored his lack of consent. And when the roles were reversed, in the third encounter, people were quick to call it rape.
What frustrates me is how society—and fiction—often flip the script when the victim is male. Studies and reports from organizations like the CDC and the UK Home Office show that a significant number of men have been forced into sex by women, but those experiences are rarely labeled as rape in public conversations. Men are told they “should’ve wanted it,” or “could’ve stopped it,” which is the exact same reasoning people use to excuse Hyesung: “he’s an alpha, he should’ve pushed him off.”
But consent isn’t about strength or dominance. It’s about choice. In both real life and fiction, if someone is coerced, manipulated, or overwhelmed by biological or emotional pressure into sex they didn’t agree to, that’s assault—no matter their gender.
I don’t hate Hyesung, but I refuse to act like Dojin’s trauma doesn’t matter just because he’s male or an alpha. Accountability should go both ways.
And I just know someone is going to jump in and defend Hyesung by bringing up his past or his upbringing. Please — I’m not saying he hasn’t been through things. He absolutely has. But as readers, we have to be fair about what actually happened.
Two truths can exist at once: Hyesung can have trauma and still be the perpetrator in this situation.
When we ignore that, we feed into the same real-world double standard where women who assault men are seen as “emotionally broken” or “confused,” while male victims are told to “take it as a compliment” or “fight back.”
That’s not accountability — that’s gender bias or in situation second gender bias.
Yes. This is also what ive been talking about. THEY WERE BOTH TOXIC lets not be one sided. Lets not take sides because all sides were both wrong

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I'm only here because I heard about the "love is an illusion superstar" drama going on and everyone in that comment section was saying Dojin assaulted Hyesung and baby trapped him and its the same in this comment section. I got whiplash when I was reading these comments because In my head it was the other way around, Hyesung assaulted Dojin, thats a fact. I was almost gaslit into thinking I switched things up in my head.
I feel like people automatically have a soft spot for omega's because they know that when their in heat, they can't control how they act or what happens to them during that time. But, what they fail to understand is that Alpha's (not the ones that actively try to assault omega's) are just as affected by a heat cycle. No matter how much they try to resist, it's hard to control their urges and they eventually give in.
There is definitely a double standard with how Dojin and Hyesung are treated. I've always disliked Hyesung even at the end of the Manhwa. I understand he has childhood trauma that he's still trying to cope with but that is no excuse for his overly childish behavior even after knowing he was the one who jumped Dojin. I was really pissed off that Dojin was blamed for what happened that night. I'm actually surprised Dojin still wanted a relationship with him after all of that.
Smells like a rapist apologist to me
Are you from Israel??
I'm sticking up for the person that was actually assaulted while you aren't.
Are you high? TF does Isreal have to do with a Yaoi Manhwa? Please get your head checked. #freepalestine
I wish I could repost your comment
