this had such a good opportunity to be an amazing story, it seemed like it was heading into the throuple dynamic which I was really interested in but then it just 180's n makes sunyools chara completely redundant?
also despise jhisu getting w that psychopath heejae, bro was toxic af
I hate the fact that it was interesting enough to have me read the whole thing but oh boy does this have a terrible message, if your life's fucked you're fucked and nothing will ever get better? this literally just reads like a rape fantasy, not a single redeeming character (I am specifically looking at you dong-hyuk, you are not a nice guy you fucking suck)
I forgot his name but how is this going to have an entire chapter dedicated to the step brothers pov and how much he loves woojin just for him to completely dissapear the next?
the ending was so rushed, its not that I dislike woojin going back to the toxic mc but I find it very hard to believe his step brother would just give up on him after woojin becomes a hikimori, literally a 180 on the step brothers character who's been built up to be a guy who's equally as obsessed w woojin as hwon is
I should've dnf when I saw the bad translations and terrible drawings in the 1st chap but I thought the mystery was intriguing so I stuck w it...it got worse and worse and INCREDIBLY problematic, it seems to be romantising abuse and toxic relationships cause the stalker never gets any reprecussions, not to mention that horrible cop out of an ending that was truly the cherry on top of the worst story writing I've ever seen in a shounen-ai
I'm rereading this as I see its completed but I swear there's meant to be some smut in ch2 or 3 when cain and mc meet for the first time? cain makes a joke ab how they went for multiple rounds or something but there's no smut? was it cut or something idw skip ahead too much to check but has all the 18+ stuff been taken out?
Nah, all the smut is there, trust
i was also confused by this…. like did they actually have sex or what?
how are you gonna write a story about a psychopath who's obsessed with killing, whos only stopped because of their lover - and not have it end with them killing their lover???
it feels like the author is treating this story how fujoshis treat killing stalking, its very clearly not a healthy love story but the author tries to portray it as such???? every sex scene is rape, kirin feels like he's forced to love kang moo just because that's the driving force of the plot, there's no justification behind it??
this genuinely would've been perfect if kang moo killed kirin at the end, but no, the author doesn't understand 'kill your darlings' or how to write around death flags
I think you should read it more closely, its alot more physiological then Kang just wanting to kill people, and that desire does not go away becuase of Lee kirn. Also Kirn is not being raped by Kang moo He loves him but is also internally conflicted at all stages
Also " kill your darlings" like the movie ? Cause that was a real case and Lucian wasn't a pyscopath. He was being pursued by a creep who he meet at age 14 at boy scouts. He moved multiple times and kept being followed so he ended up killing him. That's just flat out a normal reason to murder someone
I'm glad you are not the writer. It would be so basic, betraying all the dynamic and dillema that have been built. Not all psycho story have to end with death to the lamb or beast. lifelong limbo is a proper ending for a pair like them
More realistic and less... "fujoshi"
