I truly believe the author of such a novel to be unapologetically unhinged. There's nothing to romanticize here. So best prepare yourselves for what's to come if they dare adapt it all.
Even I had to take a break from reading for my mental health because the author seems to savor the perversion and brutality.
Accurate tags should be r@pe, violence, torture, sadism, incest

It was hinted in earlier chapters that Garon had an unusually close relationship with his mother. So I thought she was just overprotective. Then there was a confusing flashback that I didn't quite understand and this paragraph in Ch 27:
"The pleasure and satisfaction he felt the first time he had Mongrel were beyond anything he had ever imagined. It was a level of fulfillment he had never found with the Empress Mother or his concubines. Not just the body, but Mongrel’s subtle, fiery presence had become an addictive, hallucinatory drug."

* He will indeed hurt him again.
* He is indeed that much of an asshole. So please do worry.

I know the question wasn't directly to me, but I'm just gonna say, the mental illness Lee Wooyeon has is antisocial personality disorder. Typically, persons with this disease don't feel remorse or regret like others.
But the author does allude that when the uke is hurting, while the seme struggles to understand his own unfamiliar feelings, he knows that he feels like shit.
I came here because of that one TikTok. Starting reading and soon forgot about the TikTok, forgot that the cover didn't match the characters (yet), I just fell in love with the writing, the comedy, the angst, and ofc the cast of characters.
When it all came together later on, I thought the writers did a fantastic job with the transition. Reading the complaints about this story baffles me ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
It's a gem! Gonna go find the novel now!
Spoiler: hang tight for Ch 53 (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Agree, this is one of my favs
