at first, reading chapter 1, i assumed lister would be the male lead and he’d follow the same scum seme characterization that is the zeitgeist of bl manhwa but i was shocked to see another male lead come in and yeah…i like him!
lister could have been a more interesting antagonist if the author gave him some other qualities that sort of mellowed out his despotic behavior but he’s just outright a cruel person with the emotional capacity of a toenail. does he think pulling mc’s pigtails through torture is going to make him realise and reciprocate his feelings? he’s quite stupid.
however im not mad (thank god) that the author has not made this a potential love triangle scenario because it would have infuriated me to see sylhan even show an inkling of affection to the lister considering how cruel lister is to the point it overarches any positive trait he would possess.
“why didn’t you tell me u were hurt?”acting all caring…girl it looks fake as fuck…if someone knocked on lister’s head they’d hear an echo…of course sylhan can’t tell you because it’s your! fault! did lister expect him to be like “u hurt me and i also expect u to comfort me knowing your just going to hurt me again”???. ugh

Personally i think Lister hits all the marks of an abuser. From a third party perspective abusers can sometimes come off as unreasonably cruel, but inside the abuser’s head they think they’re being as charitable as possible. In this chapter and a few times in previous ones we even saw Lister pull the classic tactic where an abuser will try to apologize and/or offer gifts in an attempt to get their victims back on their side.

i hope the story ends with the heo family getting ruined beyond repair so that all the nefarious hard work jungwoo and junghyuk put into the family’s business comes crashing down/is all for naught. i hope they suffer terribly too.
and i can now get why minjae dared to attempt to kill jungwoo. what would u do if someone is telling you that if you attempt to report or talk about the harrowing sexual abuse you went through, they’d kill you? that’s sickening tf i’d kill you first. i support minjae’s rights and wrongs.

jaehee’s blatantly stupidity n his one braincell being controlled by his dick makes him look like a punching bag he’s kinda dumb and cute id want to beat his ass too. he’s a fun n silly character to read but if i met him in real life i wouldn’t want to be with a 5 mile radius next to him he’s kinda insufferable.
close enough…welcome back yoshiden!!!
