(All this shit made me forget MC was weirdly stalking at the beginning) I saw the last ch, and was like ok I could give this a try, (kinda scary but kinda nice) and now in ch 19 realizing he was gonna pull his teeth, (not just bluff) after beating him senseless for lying (trying to control his work life) and everything just keep escalating. I guess can’t complain since it says horror and psychological, though I prefer when the tag is not about their relationship. Like in Dreadful night or even Dead Man Switch. But this once again is about an abuser conditioning through fear their victim to fall in “love” through “deserved punishment” and reward “when well behaved” basically “Your the one making me do this” “your so stupid, you make me do this” “why are you scared of me”. he clearly is in despairs and only feels fear and doesn’t want to hurt, so will do anything so it doesn’t happen, and suddenly once the Stockholm syndrome kicks in the story becomes “romance”…for once! I wish that even if the author makes me read through their suffering it would become a story of surviving, them escaping and moving on. I can handle some stories where the guy, because of misunderstanding, does things that are hella questionable but then realize the err of their way and theres a redemption ark or chasing ark. Which makes me accept the fantasy that you can forgive and be together. But this one?? Makes Roses and Champagne look like a Rom Com. Unless there was a whole year of regret and redemption I wouldn’t be able to accept that ending, and even then i don't think so lol. At the end remembering the last ch irks me .
