Storyline was captivating enough that I wanted to continue reading to find out what happened but this has some seriously rough themes. Literally from the jump. Also the ending was...unexpected. Felt rushed/unfinished.

It'd be one thing to explore the psychological aspects of an abusive relationship and the spiraling mental breakdown it causes, but this is not that. This isn't even a r@pe fantasy that yaoi authors like to romanticize bc of a fetish, this is purely an abuse fantasy the author clearly wanted to make sm1 they know go thru but couldn't so they did so in a story. It's a healthier way to cope with bad feelings towards sm1 else, ig, and can be a useful element to dissect the author's mentality, but it makes for poor storytelling, imho.

I didn't find it cathartic bc it was just bad event after bad event with no hope/resolution in sight (ig the only good thing was the MC figuring out he's was being an a**hole in the main story), and the story didn't seem to serve a purpose beyond abusing the MC. The ending was kinda senseless and unsatisfying (felt like the author was trying to throw in a HE even tho the story isn't really set up to have had one).

Not a story I'd recommend.

Interestingly, the GL side story (Side Story A) is pretty excellent tho. Probably the best story out of the whole series.

Very sadistic and violent, it's definitely a niche kind of smut and potentially very triggering. Please read only if you can handle very intense and graphic physical and psychological abuse.

Very good at being this kind of story, great art. My caveat is on the ending: . That's personal preference tho.

Not to dismiss a preference, but if you enjoy this type of fiction, go ahead and read it. The backstory of the story's creation, as well as the author's statement that the characters are based on real people they know, rendered this story irredeemable to me. To me, this was a vent story written to abuse people the author knows in real life, which makes the story kind of gross.

Fan translation is full of word-vomit by translators who hate mangaka and the story. Not only its terribly cringey, but also make it nearly impossible to read without distraction.
Hope these unprofessional people would stay away from the creators they clearly hate and love to bash.

Gonna wait for the official release.

As for the manga - i've read 4 chapters and it has potential and drama, which i love. The art is gorgeous!

Upd: read it till the end! Amazing, not your typical rape work, psychological, complex and the art is so gorgeous it is breathtaking

BEST

I love all all Sadistic Beauty stories but I love Yaoi -Side Story B the most. Please keep going and I hope the story will get many more chapters. You are great author and artist!
I think Wookyung did a lot wrong. But that doesn't mean that I sympathize with Minho, it's his own fault. Minho's character is despicably tainted with jealousy, arrogance, betrayal, deception, fraud and when nothing worked out for Minho anymore... he sold himself to Wookyung.
----- But to understand the story you have to read the main story. ----
I find it insane how people get upset about it, it's just stories and sexual fantasies. It's certainly not to everyone's taste, but that doesn't mean that you have to denigrate the story or even the author right away.
If only I was personally obsessed with a person... yes I could imagine a lot!... but I'm not. Despite everything, I don't think the fantasy about it is bad. lol

I'm tired of BL''s authors (mostly women) using rape in their story

I really wonder what' s wrong with authors in this genre...

One of the most hopeless stories I ever saw...rape, torture, abuse, psycho...and the author's approach to the content contained therein only proves level of an intelligence ... pathetic, if anyone believes that anyone deserves such treatment, then something is definitely wrong, not worth reading, better not to support such authors...
I still don't understand why the BL authors romanticize rape all the time... It's some kind of a trend?! It's just disgusting, and I'm wondering what's wrong with their heads...
This rape in that Chapter 30 is only a proof that this story is truly disgusting, noone deserves to be raped, no matter what....I definitely don't recommend it
