this might have some sort of painter of the night ending
Nah, painter of the night was far more better than this one. This guy over here, I wonder how he can redeem himself?
potn wasn't "better" than this. Both of the ML's are rapist. And a sad backstory doesn't excuse that.
What makes potn better than this one is the redemtion arc of ML, not some sad backstory. There are no redemtion, no regret nor compensate for anything here.
PREACH MA FRIEND, PREACH!!! (〜￣△￣)〜
this manhwa isn't even half way over. and just because the author of potn gave seungho a an alleged redemption arc in the last few chapters doesn't make him or the story any better.
I think by better they meant the chance of a better ending. At the rate this is going it's bound to be a tragedy
I'm sorry honey but yes it does. I'm not saying potn is a super good story or Seungho is a good man, I'm with you here. But if we are comparing these two webtoons, there is a big difference between them. You may want to see this one's ending before judging but I personally think that I saw what I need to judge.
Good stories don't need to end in happiness and redemption arcs to be good, sweetie .
You're right, there's a big difference between these two.
So far story has a way better plot than POTN's "Paint me fucking people or die. No, I want to fuck you now. Let me or die. We're codependent now. My father is threatening to kill you. It'll take a few months for me to undo every bad thing I've done and suddenly become a civil servant."
There's still a lot to come for this manhwa though. I do hope it doesn't go downhill.
agree with u so much on this. but i THINK like uhhh this is a 3 act story as the author said in the note - apparantly end of act 2 and act 3 will be the seme regretting (or as the author said "no 'regret' wouldnt even begin to cover it, he will want to gouge his heart out and eat it in penitence") his brutalities and then the last part will be the peak of their relationship - it might have a good ending idrk
(all this was in the creators note)
The problem is that fans think rape and physical abuse can be redeemed. There was no redemption arc bcuz nothing he did could be redeemed. People simply chose to forgive him bcuz now the ML has blush stains on his cheeks whenever he fucks the MC.
This either go both of them died or somehow in one in a million chance they live happily together
