Reading the backstory chapters is making my week WORSE. Seeing the innocent kid he was compared to the deranged rapist he is now is shocking. Seeing how Jiwook destroyed his mind, his body, and his future with his abuse hurts so bad. Obv Jiwook doesn’t remember any of it but he ruined that boy for love FOREVER. And imo his actions aren’t driven entirely by hate like some ppl think. You can see it a little in the occasional nonviolent interactions he has with Jiwook. Juyeon’s still mourning the love he had for him. (Which is a little hard to see because he’s almost never not raping that man.) But he does outright say in one of the chapters that he wanted to make Jiwook fall for him and unable to live without him.
I still have a fuck ton of complaints about the story but the way it has me flipping back and forth between hating and feeling sorry for the characters is kinda tea.
plsss where did u read the novel
Lilyonthevalley.com
What’s the title on this in lilyonthevalley? It’s not appearing when I search reverse thinking :(
Oops mb, it's Empathy on that site. The title of the KR manhwa is kinda hard to translate, which is why we got all these different titles on different sites.
Can you drop the link pls. I read on that one too but there was only 10 chap
You can buy the raws on Bomtoon. Or you can buy the translated chapters on Lilyonthevalley if you’d rather not wait for them to drop once a week. If you’re asking for a way to read for free, then I’m afraid I can’t help you. Sorry.
And I cannot for the life of me decide if this is just pure cheeks or actually peak. Obviously the pwp is beyond gratuitous and the characters are all unlikeable. BUT I lowkey think it has some pretty solid meta on Korean men, i.e. rape culture, homophobia, COCSA, bystander syndrome, PTSD, etc. (this is me going off what I’ve read + some spoilers of the extra content I saw). Like Jiwook is obviously a horrible monster for what he did, but his character development (if you can even call it that) as Juyeon destroys everything about him is kinda compelling in a tragic, fucked up way. (Could be more compelling if he weren’t getting ploughed every single chapter but whatever.) I think it’s so funny bc the author was probably going for mindbreak pwp but accidentally wrote a decent depiction of trauma.
(Also you can buy the chapters on lilyonthevalley.com! No need to thank me Lol)
totally agree, i even bought it on ridibooks too, honestly i couldn't careless about what happened to both of them since again both mc and ml are just trash especially mc, hence why it was tagged #trashbottom cause out of all dead dove manhwa that i read this one definitely take the crown for having the most horrible mc
Absolutely no hate to the uploader but mangago completely fries the image quality which is good for the ppl who don’t want to see every single pixel of the mc’s bleeding ass, I guess. But if the fuzziness is distracting you, then you’ll probably have a better time reading on the other site that starts with a b and ends with an ato
Thanks for the review! I'll make sure to check the quality next time < 3
Aw I don’t think it’s your fault I think it might just be an image compression issue or something.
Lol probably because in my gallery the images are clear but here no
Genuinely clenched my cheeks in despair reading this update. Bro needs to go to the hospital but ik he’s too proud to do that so he’s probably gonna pop a hemorrhoid during class next chapter.
Ch. 9 Juyeon is posted up with the black button up, black pants, and the white jacket. It’s so over.
Where did you read the raws?
Bought em on bomtoon!
What about the novel? Can I read the novel anywhere for free? I tried Lily of the valley but only up to 10 is free
I'm ready the Novel on Lilly of the Valley as well!! I think the chapters get translated every few days so it might just take a while until they get posted up.
Someone already answered but the only place you can get quality translations at the moment is Lilyonthevalley. But if you want to read for free, frankly, their free one chapter a week deal is pretty damn good!
What is the name of the novel? Can't find it there
It’s under the name ‘Empathy’ there.
It's weird that they are making you buy, fan translation should be just fan translation, asking MONEY for pirating is crazy. I was a fan translator, never ask money. If only I'm not busy I'll be the one translating this novel
I just wish I could read the novel lol I'm so invested
Sorry can you put the link? I can’t find it
Here you go dear :)
