Stigma (Marloong)

Description

In the dark alleys of this city, there's no hope for trash like Sehyun. Having sex with strangers in the cramped stall behind a bar is just a typical Thursday night. But after a chance encounter with the brash and violent Boris, Sehyun begins to dream of living a normal life and an end to his restless nights. Boris is unlike any other man he's encountered. After a life spent bound by thorns, can time truly heal all scars?

well written

I'm not used to webtoons so it needed some getting used to, but the story is really good.
I espacially liked that it did not end with a white knight saving the person in need and now everything will be ok, there wasn't a love at first sight even thout there was a sort of connection (?) and the story shows that things have consequences and it takes time to deal with trauma.
I loved that there was a bit of their life afterwards showed.

Intense

This was really good. There are some serious content warnings (rape, suicide) but they're actually addressed as serious issues, aftermath included. It's super well written and I loved the art. That being said, the story still suffers a teensy bit from the webtoon effect, dragging things out to get you to pay for the next episode. But it's one of the best webtoons I've read, and ends really well. I just...need to read something sweet afterwards.

Emotionally powerful

I'm crying with happiness and contentment for this ending Q___Q I'm now fcking happy that our boy is healing. Life indeed is hard for everyone, but moving forward with hopes of what's to come tomorrow, hopes of what you wish to do with your family, friends. or loved ones, and hopes that someday everything will be okay is also a process of being courageous and be the better person for yourself and to the people around you. This is what I have learned from this manga so far. Gosh I'm gonna cry :'D

When Boris started reassuring and giving sehyun the emotional support he deserved literally has me crying and convulsing life’s a bitch a mf that doesn’t deserve no ussy for the trauma it just continues to give like geez somebody suck him off PLSS thank u🙏

I love emotionally powerful stories like this.
When you file this under your completed list, I guarantee that you wont ever forget it.
What a haunting & beautiful world the author has created.

Fck the Epilogue had me ugly crying so hard. Fck. This was such a well-written story. Ut wasn't lighthearted, but it was certainly a meaningful and worthwhile read.
