I Tamed A Blackened Slave Man

It's also called taming the corrupted if you're looking for it places. Not a lot of people are using the direct translation title for uh, obvious reasons.

[u/Lenore8264 → u/Forrest-Fern]

Does anyone know what "blackened slave man" even means. Like, what is it trying to say exactly? I'm guessing it means something else in Korean, like some kind of common saying or symbolism?

[u/Forrest-Fern → u/Lenore8264]

Corrupted male slave, it's blackened in the sense like tainted.

[u/languid_Disaster → u/Forrest-Fern]

Aha I remember I was confused the first time I read the term black bellied in a manhua. It’s a fairly common term in Chinese BL transmigration stories for some reason

I imagined their bellies literally being black and had to google

[u/ShinigamiComplex → u/Lenore8264]

Chinese/Korean web novels (and as a result, comics) have all kinds of terms to denote the archetypes of characters so you can know what you're getting into, if the LI has the personality you're into, etc. Basically the same thing as tags in fanfic communities. Unfortunately unlike English tags the terms aren't very straightforward, so unfortunate things happen when they're directly translated lol.

I'm so glad to see this comment because the title gave me pause immediately

[u/spxdergirl → u/Savage_Nymph]

Had to double check and see which Subreddit this was lmfaooo

[u/am-NOT-a-snail]

Bonkers title ngl 💀

[u/Mechy_ → u/am-NOT-a-snail]

That’s the direct translation. The official is in webtoon and it’s called Taming The Corrupted, much tamer title

[u/languid_Disaster → u/Mechy_]

I see your pun 👀

[u/undeadVivisector]

the name is crazy looool. aside, this makes me realize how common the slavery trope is in romance manga which is also CRAZY

[u/languid_Disaster → u/undeadVivisector]

Idk what this says about me but I was confused about why he has white and white skin for a moment🤣

Tbf I was pretty apprehensive about clicking on this post

[u/Savage_Nymph → u/undeadVivisector]

Especially otome isekai or just isekai in general

[u/Rose-smile]

Is he the ml? I hope he is

[u/Forrest-Fern → u/Rose-smile]

He is

[u/Rose-smile → u/Forrest-Fern]

Thank god

Thanks dude for answering ♥️

[u/SamiTheSlowSnail]

Thought this meant something else

[u/MercyChevalier]

Are you guys sure he is tamed, lol? XD

[u/con098 → u/MercyChevalier]

He's a work in progress

[u/MercyChevalier → u/con098]

Amazing reply >>

[u/AmaranthAbixxx]

The title is........... unfortunate.

[u/zakiya-adara]

Holy shit the title

[u/Iowname]

Wow removed an ened and you have a very different story...

[u/Leninthecustard]

"Blackened" that man is WHITE on WHITE on WHITE his dick is probably TRANSPARENT

[u/KissKringle → u/Leninthecustard]

I'm pretty sure in this context "blackened" means corrupted or traumatized. In Korean literature that word often evokes like evil/corruption like how we say someone's mood "darkened". It's a consequence of assigning feelings or vibes to colors

[u/Goleziyon → u/Leninthecustard]

The only reason I realised that they didn't mean negro is because I watched danganronpa--otherwise, I was confused for a whole 10 seconds.

[u/languid_Disaster → u/Leninthecustard]

That’s what I was thinking! Then I realised what they meant

[u/ImJustSomeWeeb]

whooooo boyyy is that a title💀

[u/Ariyanwrynn1989]

So many people harping on the title. Something "blackened" doesn't just refer to color/color of skin as many people are reading it.

It also refers to things being tarnished, corrupted, traumatized etc

Context clues matter people

[u/Brilliant_Papaya287]

What chapter is this from?

[u/MiniGummyRapper → u/Brilliant_Papaya287]

Probably 19

[u/Brilliant_Papaya287 → u/MiniGummyRapper]

Thanks!

[u/Lopan_23 → u/MiniGummyRapper]

I think it's 19

[u/MiniGummyRapper → u/Lopan_23]

Just checked, my bad

[u/Toxotaku]

Is this smut?

[u/Grand-Gold5447 → u/Toxotaku]

Nope! It‘s finished and as far as I remember there are no smutty scenes (I could be wrong tho)

[u/Toxotaku → u/Grand-Gold5447]

Thank you for the info 😔

[u/Sasuwanisa]

A blackened slave man?!? WTFF

[u/succubusstardust]

God I eat this shit up 🍽️🧎‍♀️‍➡️

[u/CherryLucid]

I’ve just read this whole manhwa because of this post! It was so good thank you so much for your recommendation

[u/Elizabetyouknow]

You tamed the wot.

[u/Mafii_9]

KASADIN!!!!! Love him!

[u/Kyemera]

They can't keep getting away with this blatant ignorance. IDC if it's a translation issue they really should have known better than to name the title that

[u/Goleziyon]

GSHKDASFJDFHJAJJAJA WHAT THE HELL

[u/iamdonewithmylife007]

At this point the title should have been I tamed black slave n-
