Why do they always make these kinda stories into porn? Is sufferance and hardship a turn on? Sighhh there are ways to write rape scenes that don’t clearly show that the author is thinking “ooh yum rape :P” and sometimes authors write such such realistic sad stories like this only to spoil us by so clearly making it fap material. And sure as an audience member you may not take away that it’s porn but it is. It is intentional. I hate it.
It just makes me think like:…does drawing lolicon material where the pedo is tortured and killed or arrested at the end make you any less of a fucking weirdo? No. You decided to draw loli porn anyway. Like….to me the author I don’t think even cares. He just wants to write sad story about sad woman being an abused and being sad. Ugh. UGHHHHHHHHBHH
OMG I cannot agree more. The author is super questionable with its harsh yet realistic setting, but with its overly sexualized scenes(and art style) kind of romanticing r@pe in a way. It's definitely the way the author draws it and portrays it.
It was actually still quite disturbing despite the "oversexualized" scenes--probably because of the horrifying atmosphere that the story sets itself in, its often moody and dark. It seriously does not feel like porn to me--its drawn in a deliberately gross way and it kind of feels like a mockery of most hentais out there that DO romanticize sexual assault. Though, I can't really guarantee that that is what the author wants to portray. Just my perspective tho!
Nah it’s porn. It’s about artistic intention more than interpretation. And you’re not considering that the ugly bastard and humiliation thing is its own (very popular) fetish. It reminds me of people who claim Metamorphosis is actually some deep sad story and not just porn made to capitalise off of rape, sexual assault, drug addiction and forced prostitution. Having a woman fall into disarray and traumatised and become a mess, a mess reliant on the men around her, having her sole male protector be betrayed or being forced to betray him are alllll fetishes popular in hentai. People are just gross.
Like as in im sure 90% of readers found this disturbing and it’s because of YOUR morals. It’s against your morals to find this sexually appealing. Back to my lolicon analogy, there’s some REALLY horrifying stuff out there where the perp is tortured or is arrested at the end but it doesn’t stop the story from being loli porn. And I find it very disturbing to read sure but the author definitely made it using only one hand. You get what I mean?
i agree with you but it could also be a posibility that it could just be his art style cause looking at the suthors other work area its pornwha so this being psychological and realistic manwha hits harder
I supposed so! After actually giving it more thought, I just discontinued reading this. Its just hard to see how the story--taking a theme about violence against women--was told in the perspective of a male character and I highly doubt the author is a woman. I do wish artists who had the talent to create gruesome atmospheres portrayed sexual assault as what it is; horrifying and dehumanizing without the unnecessary porny shit that sells well to a bunch of sickos. Thanks for the comment!
Npp Its also really depressing how tgeres a chance that all of this could/is actually happening here irl its truly awful
So i guess it really depends on how much you can take but ur right if they are going to draw those acts, they should due it in a not like porn u would see in nh way and in a way that potrays how depressing things are for some people who didint get the chance to be in a more livable environment
I know I probably come across as preachy and virtue signalling but this shit genuinely gets me mad. I’m proud and happy the audience doesn’t find this sexy but we’re naive to think that the artist isn’t at least turned on by some of the scenes. And as an artist myself, the artist of this story can draw many different types and styles of men clearly. If he can only draw one type of female character, skinny with HUGE tits then….what am I supposed to say? You don’t HAVE to draw every single type of body type but a good artist would at least know how to truly make her look worse as in you can imagine she’s not well fed, she can’t take care of herself, she lives in a dirty environment. Yknow? You’d see her bones. Her skin would be pallid, bruised and pale. Her breast may droop due to the lack of food. Her face may be sunken and hollow. Her hair would like messy and matted. Etc etc. she can still have big tits and you know…look like she actually fits the happenings of the story. Can you imagine how hard the story would be to read if she looked like that? I just wish they’d do that. Sighhhh. SSSIIGHHHHH.
Maybe this is all some secret ploy to get incels to read this shit for the boobs but end up developing empathy towards her hahahha
It’s realistic. And then the guy says he cheated because he was stressed or because the woman stressed him out. And then is that okay? Was she not stressed too?? It’s so common. “You made me feel lonely” “you made me feel unwanted” “I was so stressed” so you fucking cheated??? Why is it so common?
Cause sadly, it's just like that a lot of the time
It is so fucking tragic, it makes me mad
Is the gore more brutal because it was originally a novel? I can see how writing “Akira put the bat in the microwave to thaw” would be funny but actually SEEING Al get microwaved and his head turn to jelly from over heating and him getting burns is NOT FUNNY. Like maybe the whole serial killer thing isn’t as brutal in the novel. The way they draw the dead bodies and the animal cruelty tho is so fucking brutal for how light the story is. Love it tho. Apart from the animal cruelty it’s right up my alley.
Ah….i know how that feels. Getting all your self worth from work. I thought I was fixing my mental health and my friend goes “you know you are supposed to be able to have self worth irrespective of any external influence. All your self worth comes from external influences. But you know you just have worth right?” And I was so shocked. Like I genuinely thought everyone just had self worth from external things only like work or study.
I dunno if it’s a translation thing but I’m pretty sure ML said “let’s take a break” and MC thought he said “Let’s break up” and just stopped listening to everything he said after
There is nothing that gets my jimmies in a twist than when I open something expecting good plot and get sewage water instead.
I would submit this entire manga to r/ATBGE (awful taste but great execution)
There's seems to be a subreddit for everything under the sun huh
OH MY FUCK it’s just clicked and now I’m not confused anymore. Most video game manhwas take place in MMORPG video games where the player is interacting with other players. This game is a hero collecting battle strategy game. So you collect all the hero’s, level them up and strategise. Where it starts to get confusing is the leader devotion thing. As far as I know like mana potions and stuff, love must be kind of like a cultivating thing. The more “love” you put towards your empire the stronger they get. And in a lot of cultivating games you get the option to walk the path of the enlightened or the corrupted. The difference is that MC actually FR loved one of his hero’s and poured actual love and dedication towards him. He confessed in the game??? And idk??? Maybe the game manipulated the words. Also unclear if all the hero’s are actually sentient this whole time. This is kinda like video game ORV.
Not sure why the butler called Shuuya ‘Lycoris’ which is the scientific name of the red spider lily - Lycoris Radiata. Maybe because he decided he suits the flower he is named the flower.
in Japan, the lyrcoris is symbolic of death, so that's probably why.
