That's the thing. It's their flaws. They had to go through several turmoil to actually be able to communicate well especially for Jiho. And yea the whole turning 18 and having sex seemed weird to me too at first until I decided to finish it and it was one of the best reads I've read this year. Their story and struggle becomes much more than that fact. Chemistry? You'll see it in the later chaps
Do you not feel like it’s predatory? I only read to chap 17 i think and even if ml seems really nice it just feels weird that he’s attracted to this kid (even if he becomes legal age soon). Like is that really necessary for the plot or could he have picked up a 25 y/o and still have the same communication development?
To me, it was. Jiho was a guy who had violent intents and dreamt about killing ppl. And Woojung wasn’t a just person either. He just loved Jiho. That's all. Even later in the chapters he admitted that as well. Because without that fact, Woojung character was oddly kind and caring towards Jiho which kind of gave the impression he's perfect but he's not and just as flawed as Jiho. And they both complete each other. I understand tho to some It's uncomfortable but if you kinda ignore that moment, all they have is love for each other. It was amazing for me
True, i’ll prolly skip for now, but since it is technically legal and theyre both a bit messed up (and fictional), i can see overlooking the predatory aspect for the plot development as long as theyre happy lol. thanks for replying!!
I think perhaps it was just not the read for me. I’ve read quite a few twisted romances, but I think I just couldn’t get into or feel the flow of this story. Woojung’s character didn’t seem developed enough for me to understand his attraction to a minor, and thus I just didn’t feel the chemistry in the whole story. Wish I could’ve read it like you to be honest (￣ε(#￣)Σ
I understanddd everybody has different ways to digest fiction. Myb I'm more on the tolerant side but probably my bar got lower seeing the toxic stories getting all the clout nowadays, This one seemed so much better. Anywayy hope you have good readss (●'◡'●)ﾉ
I’ll give it another read in a few weeks for sure (づ￣ ³￣)づ don’t think I’m in the read head space recently. I don’t think the story was toxic though, compared to a lot of stories now, just psychological. At the end I think I just expected some more romance. But I hope you have good reads too~ have a good weekend <33
Really tried to read this one but there’s no flow and no chemistry??? The plot doesn’t make sense either, 30+ year old prosecutor picks up 17 year old based on feeling sorry, no flirting or chemistry, bangs when he turns 18 and no communication?
