You’ve only seen a bit of what the ML does to the MC. He’s a hundred times worse than the gray-haired guy , who's going to die after a few chapters as he's just an insignificant character so I won't worry about him.The real menace is the ML,Mfs a psychopath and a black flag.He keeps raping and beating my poor boy, and it doesn’t stop there. He pimps out the MC, who gets drugged and gang-raped by the ML and others to please that creepy old man with green eyes(the prince's uncle). The worst part is that this man doesn’t even regret what he did to the MC until the last chapters. There’s no redemption, nothing, so don’t get your hopes up. When the MC asks if he regrets anything, he even says it’s sexy to see him with others. Only near the end of the novel does shed a couple of tears and apologize, and it’s just two sentences. “Sorry Ryujin for what I did to you, I am sorry for everything.” The MC has been impotent since being gang-raped before in his school days by a guy and his classmates, who later get killed by the ML. But the ML keeps the photo of the MC getting raped and even finds it hot, using it to get off. I cried a lot reading the novel. He gets raped multiple times. And if you're wondering if the others feel bad or not ,They sometimes feel bad for the MC, but they can’t do anything because of military law as the ML is their superior. And even if he weren't i doubt they would've tried to do anything tbh.Besides, they’re all united against a corrupt royal figure who destroyed their families and lives, so they feel a sense of gratitude toward the ML for seeking revenge on their behalf. I’m talking about Chiwoo and Wolhae (the short-haired girl). The military doctor and Yena (the ML’s cousin) sometimes tell the ML to stop torturing the MC, but he never listens. Eventually, the physical violence stops, but the sexual assault continues. If I remember correctly, all of their intimate scenes were essentially non-consensual, with the ML forcing himself on the MC.
Sehyuk, the brown-haired guy, the prince,is a good person who treats the MC well and loves him genuinely,but because of their backgrounds and past, specifically, the prince’s father being the reason the MC’s sister was executed, they could never truly be together. Still, the moments you’ll see between them are genuine,good, consensual, and non-abusive, unlike those with the ML. Sehyuk (the prince) genuinely loved and cared for the MC, but by then, the MC had already developed Stockholm syndrome with the ML. He cared for the prince, but he couldn’t love him. And unfortunately, because of how the plot unfolds, even the prince ends up raping the MC once near the end of the novel, so don’t hold out much hope for them.
The MC develops Stockholm syndrome and falls in love with the ML, even believing that the ML loves him. The ML says he does, but his actions say otherwise. I can barely remember a single time they had consensual sex in the novel. He always rapes the MC, even when he says no. The whole series is about eighty percent rape as a plot. I cried so much. They end up together at the end and fly to Germany to live there. The MC is probably one of the most suffered bottoms in history.
And if you're wondering if ml suffered or not,well technically he doesn't.His left elbow and shoulder will be dislocated near the end, but unfortunately, they’ll heal afterward . And He had actually planned to die, first by killing the royal figure he was after, and then by taking his own life, which had been his main goal all along to avenge his family. However, by that point, the MC had developed Stockholm syndrome and didn’t want the ML to die. So, in the end, the ML fakes his death and escapes to Germany with the MC.
A side note - The ML’s actually having an affair with the prince’s mother, that golden-haired lady. He doesn’t have any feelings for her,he’s just doing it for his own gain. But the woman do love him and obsessed with him. Near the end of the novel, when the prince (Sehyuk) finds out about their affair, he completely loses it. He feels like the ML’s taken everything from him,Ryujin, the person he loves, and even his own mother. He shoots chiwoo and rapes ryujin basically he loses his mind.
THANK YOU for the spoiler, gonna be dropping. (such a shame since the art is so good )
Also, i’m guessing every manhwa author nowadays, who’re in a relationship must be getting raped or something by their partner since all i’m finding nowadays is bullshit stories filled with 95% rape- and i have no clue where they’re getting the inspiration of it from. sorry not sorry, but it’s really disappointing and disgusting.
Some people on this site are so insufferable and chronically online, istg.
It’s a fictional story, y’all, and it romanticizes rape, so don’t act shocked when people voice their opinions about it. Just read your stuff and move on. You don’t need to harass anyone for having an opinion, and you definitely don’t need to take it personally when someone dislikes your favorite toxic yaoi or problematic fictional character.
And honestly, some of you are minors who shouldn’t even be reading this in the first place,yet you’re here all day trolling and arguing just to defend it. Give it a rest.I am not going to reply to anymore dumb comments from most probably a minor. Go and release your anger somewhere else and stop coming to harass me,i can just block you and move on. And yes remember you DO NOT own this comment section and people can comment whatever tf they want and you have no right to harass them.I can't believe i am seeing people justifying harassment why? Just because they said they don't like your favourite fictional story that romanticizes rape or character who's a rapist. Y'all need a j*b and also help.
