are acting like self hatred and internalized homophobia in deeply homophobic society doesnt affect your outlook in life. you can say ml was being a coward and lack a virtue but legit saw someone saying he left because he figured out this wasnt what he liked(??) are we even reading the same thing, i too wish people's struggle only started and ended with liking someone else and being liked back

its veering close towards tragedy porn. im very sympathetic to what sylhan went through as abuse victim and found his actions to be beyond reaproach, its what the author chose to pile on him thats very frustrating as readers, im a fan of angst but i find nothing cathartic about this story yet nor any foreshadowing for resolutions even though it has been 64 chapters. this is why some people complain about pacing because we dont need chapters dedicated about fucking lister every 5 chapters or so, and the way hes almost presented as second ml too with the blushing and glancing makes me want to puke. got a spoiler from novel that his death was quick and unsatisfying as well, like whats the point of dragging sylhan (and readers) through every torment known to man for like 80 chapters and like if the revenge wasnt something sweet and to savor
TRAGEDY PORN????? is you fr right now… This story barely ever has actual smut scenes and they are only ever shown between the mc and ml not anyone else, and lister is not presented as a second ml bfffr sylhan is literally shown as being terrifed of him he trembles and the sight of the man and the blushing is only done by lister not sylhan that does not make him a second ml in anyway shape or form.










the whole novel is about two horny teenagers slowly discovering sexuality so the censoring in the manhwa rly opted out a lot. i guess koreans are really strict about minors characters going at it? i cant think of a manhwa where hs characters had sex before they hit majority age (always in side stories or if the characters are aged older) wonder why they cant be as strict with the rape porn straight manhwas which are frankly just degrading
Well I think you’ve already described the difference no? Majority (ofc not all) of the rape porn manhwas, the characters are 18+ or if it did happen when they were young it’d be a backstory and the current story would be when they’re an adult.
It is common for manhwas to not be as detailed as novels though, this isn’t really a problem with BL or romance manhwas in general, manhwas tend to be watered down from the novel and sometimes it just takes away the meaning of the story
yeah i guess its slippery slope from drawing 2 horny teenagers to actual kids fetishizitation/lolita shotacon stuff. might as well be strict about it
