100% agree. Especially about the last part. There ain't no romance here!
yeah totally no romantic yaoi relationship here :)) Don't worry too much Koogi is sure not gonna let us down cuz of some fandom (づ￣ ³￣)づ
The first part of the post is about the release of season 3 and the price of the chapters but I also wrote something about the story. Just skip the first part to read that.
The next chapter is going to be released tomorrow, 3pm CET. It makes no sense to ask for the new chapter before that. KS updates simultaneously in Korean and English, means there are no raws until then either.
And I wanted to remind everybody who thinks about buying the chapters to read a proper translation that they're currently on sale (you can buy every chapter for 2 coins). Starting next week every chapter is going to cost 4 coins, including the chapters from season 1 and 2. If you want to buy it, buy it now. It won't get them any cheaper than that.
Now to the story itself.
I really hope we'll get a good backstory for Sangwoo. So far there hasn't been much about it his past and the few things we know were part of Sangwoo's memory, which can be slightly distorted.
To me the killer's motivation and his past (what made him a killer) are always the most important parts of a story about a serial killer. A lazy psychological portray (like "he's just evil") or no backstory at all can ruin an otherwise good thriller/horror for me.
She did a great job with Bum's mental development (it's plausible and it was thrilling) and she involved the police in a way that fit to the story without making it unrealistic (many authors don't get the police involved because it'd be too difficult so I'm glad that the police, or one policeman, plays an important role in KS). That's why I expect a lot from Sangwoo's "origin story". I hope I won't be disappointed.
I also hope that KS won't turn into some generic abusive-yaoi-relationship story. I read it because it's a good horror/thriller comic, not because I want to see them healing each other (which wouldn't make a lot of sense anyway) and being all lovey-dovey.
I know Koogi herself said something like she didn't want to romanticize their relationship or for their relationship to be seen as romantic but I'm still a little bit afraid that she might turn this into a romance simply because the more vocal part of the fandom wants it. Let's just hope that doesn't happen.
