well big oof

I've been wanting stories with this typa vibe ever since I read MADK and this delivered. so well written and intriguing.

excuse me what

I thoroughly enjoyed this, it totally exceeded my expectations and the character building and plot were perfect. ngl the first couple of chapters were painful to read through, due to the r*pe scenes being so well drawn that you could feel kirin's emotions through the screen. I'm accustomed to reading dark stories but the way kirin's latter initiation with all the members was portrayed genuinely disturbed and disgusted me, I'm glad the author didn't let it go all the way.

Now there are two main things I'd like to go over, the overall plot building/revenge in the first half and the characterisation/focus on kirin and kang mu in the second. I personally really liked the way the first half done, albeit cliche in some aspects, it was still very thoroughly enjoyable and so well executed that I don't even mind the clichés. I'm sure we all realised kang mu was the murderer, especially since there are so many clues dropped. However, the fabrication of evidence for each member was something I had not expected and the initial presentation of kyubin as the murderer for the first case, really did throw me for a loop haha. I love that the author actually took us through kang mu's process in killing the members at the end of it all, as some stories never provide the full context. ALSO, I must say, detective nam by far is one of the MOST CAPABLE detective I've ever seen in one of these murder stories. I'm glad that he never does the cliche of betraying kirin and stays true to his principles. The only thing I wish we had more context on, is why joohyuk liked kang mu and what were his intentions in "ruining" the club, if he knew kang mu would likely dislike it. But other than that, everything else was 10/10.

In terms of kang mu and kirin, their relationship and chars are so well written. To start with, I AM SO GLAD the author did some research into psychopathic tendencies, giving us insight into the behavioural tendencies of a psychopath and context as to why kang mu is the way he is. Too many times have I seen authors and media misuse mental illnesses and I'm glad the author explored this issue in detail, even having a therapist within the story go over everything. I never realised that there different types of psychopaths, so reading this I learnt something new. Moreover, I love kang mu's characterisation, I think the author portrays his sentiments really well and I'm glad they highlight his struggle to suppress his desire to kill. Furthermore, with kirin our main protag, I enjoy how strong-willed he is throughout the story and his ability to stand up to kang mu. Now, onto the relationship between kang mu and kirin. Is it healthy? Fk no. BUT although I don't think their relationship should be romanticised in any way, I do thoroughly enjoy their dynamic as a couple. I'm glad the author herself, emphasises that what kang mu feels is not as simple as "love" because as shown throughout the story, that would not be true to the nature of his character. Despite that, the reason why I can enjoy kirin and kang mu's dynamic is because there's no abusive power imbalance, shown in other stories like Killing Stalking. Moreover, kirin's strong willpower in pursuing his relationship with kang mu and the fact kang mu never fully puts kirin's life at risk (without precautions), makes it hard to dislike what the have. All in all, I do hope as shown in the story, that kirin remains a suppressant for kang mu's murderous tendencies but that's just my wishful thinking.

Also, the segg scenes were great and hella well drawn, so you get the best of both worlds if you came just for the BL aspect.

tldr; this was a masterpiece and an amazing read. from plot, to characterisation to art style. everything is perfect. don't regret binging this in one sitting at all.

sheeeesh, that was pretty fucked. y'all said gore and man, did you deliver ahhsjsjs.

matthew/john and william aren't just pieces of shit, they're an entire mfing toilet bowl. all dwayne did was reject the guy?? how does fking warrant ruining his career??? does he think he'd take him back w that? sheeeesh. anyway ethan and dwayne are the cutest, proud of ethan for taking the initiative to do smthn!!

seeing those dms exchanged between the author and uploader really left a bad taste in my mouth. YD has every right to be upset with their works being uploaded/translated but threatening to doxx someone ain't it. I rly like BP so this is a disappointing turn of events.

WHAT A POWER COUPLE, AHHH. The char development has been immaculate and the segg scenes top notch, oof

aight the seggs is so good BUT I need to KNOW whether jeurgen is involved with the chechen/templar knights in any way (if you've read the raws, pls don't spoil). I've been doing mental gymnastics racking my brain but I'll never get my answers with these two horndogs railing each other for the past couple of chps lmaooo. I find it strangely coincidental that jeurgen had to go to work the night before the chechen and templar knights made an agreement BUT at the same time, if he were w either he'd have realised the templar knights were the ones chasing joachim so that'd mean he's betraying his own cause?? if this is the case. also, suspicious that he pointed out joachim's uniform despite the cloaking disguise. ALSO, jeurgen seemed pretty genuine in his confusion at joachim breaking up w him sooo? then again, if he did know the true nature of joachim's job, ig that's even more reason to try "lock him up." I guess we have to wait until s2 when there's more plot haha.

anyway, I'm genuinely so invested in the plot, fr wanna know about the magic (?) that we see and what exactly esper and the likes are, if they're non-human. also, looked up what a beaded diqq is and AJSJSJSKS

MMM JAY WITH THAT USE ME LINE, GAVE ME BIG DOUMEKI ENERGY. THEY EVEN HAVE THE SAME CUT SJJSJSSK. I LOVE THIS SM, THE DYNAMICS BTWN THEM ARE *CHEF'S KISS* AND I LOVE ME A GOOD GANG/MAFIA PLOT. both chars are so strong-willed, I love that our boi shin stands his ground and that jay seems to actually rly care for him, seeing as he have him an upright job. I just wanna know if he has any ulterior motives or if shin is just THAT POWERFUL, that man's whipped. Also the seggs scenes are SO GOOD, bro we haven't even seen them peg each other but man, I am ready to see shin get railed. the have such good chemistry ong.
