yall dont get what dark romance is... it will always be toxic. Thats the pull of it. Trying to "fix" the yandere is the lamest shit ever and I hate when authors do that. They should be trash from beginning to end. Go read some fluff story then if you hate yanderes
I like this manhwa but its not dark romance at all its like a comedy with angst sprinkled in
Genuinely don’t understand why ur mad. I said I personally don’t like yandere characters, not that I hate dark romances and I never said that dark romances should all be fixed. It’s simply MY personal preference that I prefer my dark romances to have a more happier ending. And sorry but this story is still absolutely considered a dark romance to me.
The novel it stems from aka Silence is textbook horror tragic dark romance and their relationship is toxic as fuck it’s practically irredeemable. Even if the author spun it in a positive way in the ‘new timeline’, the relationship is still something literally nobody sane would want to have. It only worked in a fictional context—in real life, nothing about this manhwa is romantic lmfao. So yeah, I’m just saying I enjoyed this manhwa’s spin on dark romance and felt it was a nice change of pace to, say, Killing Stalking stuff that I also very much enjoyed reading
Lemme just say, I absolutely hate the obsessive yandere trope and rarely ever end up finishing any story that has one, especially if it’s a romance story because I believe some people are simply irredeemable. But I have to say, this story is EXACTLY how an author should handle a yandere character. How should I say it…it’s toxic, yes, but they make it clear it is without overly romanticizing it. And what’s most important, the yandere character actually does get proper development WITHOUT losing all of their obsessiveness. It’s the way the author clearly sets down all boundaries and makes it so both parties truly understand each other that makes this toxic relationship become NOT toxic.
Is the ML still a black flag? Oh absolutely. Were the things he did horrible? Definitely. But despite how twisted his love was, there was purity and sincerity hidden in there. And I think that’s why I felt completely okay with the MC ending with the ML in the end, also because the MC truly does understand the ML and holds him accountable for the bullshit he did. Honestly, this is what a dark romance story should be like. 10/10.
