Ok but what about NK? Why should he keep up with all of that?
The never ending abuse the poor guy is facing is starting to get out of hand.
Plus we are on chapter 62. So it's hard to talk about sudden changes.
Yeah, I feel bad for NK too. He has no obligation to babysit Seungho until Seungho pulls his shit together. It is 62 chapters in, however this is a slow burn story and it doesn't seem close to ending. The author still has plenty of time to properly wrap up his character development, I just feel bad that people are insulting her on Twitter and stuff because they don't approve of the way shes writing so I'm trying to offer another perspective
No one is saying he should suddenly change. I'm not knocking his behavior. It's the writing. You think the story is doing a 180 but it's doing a 360. Nakyum's behavior is very annoying. The people mistreating him. If this was a tragedy, I would expect that sort of writing but it is not.
THANK YOU I LOVE YOU KISSES YOU SO HARD
People aren't upset about Seungho. They are disappointed in the writing and Nakyum's treatment. I am too.
I never approve of rude, offensive criticisms. It's just plainly wrong. But if someone is paying for the story and present constrictive critique, then why not?
And about Nakyum and Seungho... Sometimes I just don't see the point of them being together after all of that tbh?
Seungho brought so much pain into NK's life that it's started getting unrealistic at this point for NK to fall for him.
i agree that we should leave the author out of this, but it's about time seungho changes himself. i don't want an abrupt development either, but it's episode 63 and seungho is WORSE than in season 1. im saying that because now he has feelings for nakyum, and the only thing he wants to do is hurt him again. really? that crumb of character development is basically nonexistent at this point. he's just starting to piss everyone off because it's always the same old shit with him.
I feel like people tend to forget that this isn't a romantic love story.
Its twisted and messed up. If people are coming here for fluff and people falling in love this might not be it for them. The author has stated that she plans on making a new story even more gruesome and twisted than this.
The author seems to care so much about her readers, I don't think its fair for people to get mad at her because it isn't a romantic love story.
It would be all fine and good but after all of this abuse and horrors NK will be (most likely) all lovey dovey with SH... Which is kind unrealistic.
And the problem is that the story started going in circles and getting repetitive.
no this IS a romantic dark story. look at how it's promoted. potn merch depicts a happy, full of love nakyum and seungho. we are supposed to care about them as a couple and even root for them. yeah, it's not a fluffy and sugary BL but it's still a BL.
I mean if you don't like how the story is progressing than I suggest you drop it.
Im not going to invalidate your feelings because its okay to feel the way you did.
I was talking about people on Twitter who keep expecting a romantic non toxic love story.
But like @minutta said tbh the story is promoted as romance and BL. With dark tones but still a romance.
Do you notice how you added dark?
Its because you are correct however this isn't a romantic love story.
Its a dark and twisted one. Its not a normal relationship and maybe N has borderline Stockholm syndrome.
When I say fluff and people falling in love I mean like a normal BL story.
Which this is not.
Its toxic romance it isn't fluff and rainbows.
Maybe I should have focused a bit more on my wording but this isn't a beautiful love story
what? i said it's a DARK ROMANCE which means it has romantic aspects to it. it's not supposed to be fluffy, BUT as a reader i should be invested in their ROMANTIC relationship and it's getting kind of hard to do that. it is a romantic love story, that's the problem.
Its a dark romantic story meaning that its not going to be all fluff and rainbows.
Its twisted and dark.
You cant expect him to change his toxic character traits just because hes in love its just not realistic.
Maybe what youre looking for isnt what this manhwa can offer you.
I don't want to see Seungho r@pe Nakyum again. I don't think I'm asking for too much lmao. I got behind everything that happened in the past but after 62 episodes I at least expect to see Seungho do the BARE minimum for the one he has feelings for. That's all.
It is promoted as romance (merch being full of lovey dobey NK and Seungho) but in reality their relationship can hardly be called anything beside abuse and power imbalance at this point.
And seriously there is nothing in-between fluff/falling in love and one character being mistreated for nearly every chapter?
Thats understandable to feel that way.
But if you don't like reading it than maybe you should drop it.
Its a very a toxic relationship .
But this isn't something anyone can handle reading.
Everyone seems really mad. But I just wanna put out there that SH's character development is a lot more realistic than what characters usually get. People don't just suddenly change, and SH realizing he loves NK is not going to undo a whole lifetime of abuse, trauma and the bad behavioral habits he developed because of it. Right now he feels hurt/betrayed because he believes NK (the only person he loves) tried to leave him. The only way he knows how to handle his emotions is through violence and anger, exactly how he was taught to handle emotions.
Am I happy with him? Nope. I'm also upset. BuT, I feel like saying he hasn't had any character development is inaccurate and insulting the author here is short-sighted.
