Mixed Feelings

This is the first manhwa I've ever read, and it's definitely one you have to read some of before it gets really good. At first it's mostly just noncon porn with very little story, but slowly throughout it adds more and more and it got to the point where I was skimming the sex scenes to read more of the actual plot. Definitely not for everyone as it is heavy on the noncon, and while it's not Stockholm Syndrome the main character has, it can be read as/feel that way. Not for everyone, but if you enjoy darker stories, you might enjoy this manhwa.

Synopsis

Baek Na-kyum is a young man with a single talent: painting explicit depictions of men caught in the throes of passion. Having published his pornographic art under a pseudonym for several years, Na-kyum has ultimately decided to quit painting for good. That is, until the appearance of Yoon Seungho—a nobleman who abuses his authority to force Na-kyum to return to his illicit hobby. Seungho, notorious for his sodomizing ways and insatiable lust, coerces Na-kyum to illustrate his regular private affairs. Although he initially tries to resist, Seungho's indecent nights of thrusting men into the very depths of pleasure awakens something in Na-kyum. However, Yoon Seungho's side is a dangerous place to be, and Na-kyum quickly finds himself tangled in a web of desire and jealousy—with many a looming threat hoping to devour him.
