THIS is how you write a story about a messed up ML. Like others said...this is peak. I kept seeing this occasionally in my feed and thought oh its prob just another toxic seme and boring ass story I've read a thousand times before but from the first couple of chapters, I knew this had potential. Everything from the way this is structured, jumping into the past, the way the MCs interact with each other, and the reveal of Seo-in's state of mind with why he acts the way he does or behaves the way he does to how he truly feels is masterfully done. It doesn't feel like his backstory is an afterthought and a justification for how he behaves. It feels like we as an audience is growing with the MCs and seeing them work out their issues, truly understand themselves and each other and eventually develop a true meaningful relationship.
