Ive seen the raw. Its mental. But as someone strictly monogamous, this gives disturbing insights into a polyamorous relationship, particularly between 3 individuals who are clearly not essentially right in the head. I liked the message though, to accept someone for all their flaws and fucked up value is scary and sounded almost impossible but the portrayal is rather extreme and will get anyone with a moral compass either frustrated or get their compass even more fucked than ever. Either way, be careful of what you consume. If you need the link to the raws, lmk.
Approach it with caution though, because, seriously even if we're all fucked in the head, this shouldn't be the catalyst that would ruin our value even more.
Feel free to choose which to reply to;
1. Threats are conscious manipulation techniques.
2. The more you explain why this and that, are you careful enough to not justify the means and the outcomes?
3. Caesar is not a well written complex character. He's mid at best.
4. Given that he's a lawyer, Leewon is rather unrealistic. Don't use the obvious argument that its fictional. Come up with something constructive.
5. Redeeming qualities of both our MCs (feel free)
6. Not so redeeming qualities^^
7. Overall opinion on the story and its progress. (Alrd had my prev comment on this not far behind)
I'm a tolerable person. There are only some stories i couldn't handle and usually itd be for the reason that its either too f ed up or angsty to the point of no return. But this story, no matter how many times i tried to get into it, its just not for me. Particularly because i hold the view that LAWYERS are supposed to be the ones with the most common sense but leewon's 'lawyer-ism' was so miniscule that made me even doubtful, is he even a lawyer?
I didn't like the story from the get go though due to this. During the fresh time of the relationship, suddenly the prospective lover man shot you not once, not even twice but thRICE. And despite the constant abuse of power, as a LAWYER, he still chose to be with his abuser.
Now ik some of yall have been caesar's defender/apologists yada yada, idc come at me without understanding this perspective first and I'll have you BLOCKED. Saying that he's a well written complex character is a bit over the top. He's mid at best and you can call my standards high because it is. If the story doesn't go into the details of the dark triads and psychopathy explicitly, paired with each important characters' portrayal of the gravity of the matter, then iTS MID TO DECENT at best. Why? Go and read TBMD if you haven't yet then or lets dissect and discuss about Seungho cause THAT man right there, is one of the most well written complex character.
Overall for the story, I'd call it a dark romance but not the kind of story I'd settle into. I think i would be less irritated if leewon was just an ordinary man but ffs they had to be a lawyer. Yall can talk about how realistic caesar is acting but leewon my guy, its rather disappointing. But with all the sex scenes to amend their relationship, that just added more into the negative points. Its like the LAW to have sex to finally be vulnerable. It satiate the readers' thirst but tbh this can never best solution all the time.
This is a constructive criticism perspective, i do not come here to look for a brawl of words or anything. You either take it and leave it or take it and ponder again. Anything of hostility will be replied briefly and blocked, not because I'm afraid or anything but i just value my time and peace than to participate in a dispute. Thx.
I genuinely want an au where yeonwoo died and Keith refusing everyone just to be celibate and single till death. Would be a good angst lmao
THAT POOR FUCKING CHILD RIENKSDKSDKSBDK besided that the author's art improved a lot BUT THEY NEVER SEEM TO RUN OUT OF PSYCHOPATHIC LOVE STORY HUH
I finished the novel back in July 2022 but i can say that i do not remember reading anything significant related to romance. Other than Munku, yeowun literally never looked at anyone else so y'all, keep reading and ride it out. If there was any harem at all, even I would've long lashed out and stopped reading but nah the story is full of action and less to nonexistent of those things you guys are worried about.
NAH WE'RE GONNA SAY THANK YOU TO JK FOR SAVING DAN NOW? NAHHHHWHS THIS IS FOUL
In the Korean ver, it translates to 'mental age' which is referring to the persona's lack of opportunity to mature mentally aka is innocence and naive. Also mental age≠physical age. The prev translation: 'literal child' was definitely an error cuz, to make a point, you can be 60 with a mental age of a 15 year old again.
Yo eunhabitch, i hope you rot and die a lonely death cuz u got me screaming in silence and profanity towards the MC with my roommates trying to sleep. It felt so unnecessary cuz the angst was TOO DAMN MUCH TO A POINT I WAS MORE FRUSTRATED THAN FEELING ANSGT-ED
Mincheol, get the fUCK away from me PLS, im putting a restraining order if i see even one mincheol-to-be is approaching. Nah, you're not WELCOMED at ALL.
NAHH i was just ranting about how we're gonna get JK's suffering arc AND THE WAY HE FIGURES THINGS OUT IS NOW IS TOO QUICK NA??? MAKE IT LONGER BRUH HE NEEDS TO GROVEL MORE.
Re-reading this cuz i want to imagine how Jaekyung would be if he finally becomes a changed man.........its mission impossible.
Honestly, sweet Jaekyung sounds cringy☠ and even if he's gonna change for the better, he'd probably be the dominant caring partner instead, which is imo a lil too cliche and boring ngl.
Idc in my eyes, cheater are naturally pure degenerates. No matter how green you started, to act upon the idea of cheating is a clear sign that you're a son of a bitch. Choices have consequences. Once a cheater, always a cheater. I'd rank it second to PDFs. Irredeemable. Happiness is NOT what you deserve minshit. And again even if he was once a green forest, that forest must've housed some nasty wicked outbreaks and small fires, therefore, that green forest is never a 101% confirmed safe. I just wish his end is of a greater misery of everything combined. Do shit, get shit on.
When the Top communicates really well surprisingly but the bottom only knows how to fuk it and suc dic. Unbelievable.
The son of a bitch emperor dares(cant call anyone a father or mother anymore cuz someone wILL DEFINITELY get triggered and say, "you cant call him this and that cuz thatd be an insult to this and yadayada") gee i swear people are so damn sensitive nowadays ☠ but anyway, this son of a bitch should kiss the grave where even his deceased wife wouldnt want to visit. Trash. Go die jn a ditch somehow. Nothing redeemable about him.
This is a story where the character did really damn unforgivable stuff but the story and the character is also well-built imo that it explains (not justifying) why such and such happens. I've written about ASPD once, safe to say, this psychopath is one of the self aware ones. Though tbh, they all are but, we must thank that he does not belong to the extreme(convict first degree murder or serial killer or sumn). But we did get a lot of ASPD character portrayal(just not explicitly diagnosed or confirmed by the author) but most of them are sociopaths. This story portrays a really good Psychopathic character but I'd rank it second to The beast must die cuz TBMD hands down has the best most realistic psychopath ive ever read. Psychopathy is genetic and passed down, when they do not feel emotions, they really can't. They can only act in a conscious way(showing emotions) if they want to do or own something. If wooyeon were to be depicted to really feel emotions, I'm no doctor but i guess he's a little unique? But irl this wont happen.
Mother is shit (i learnt that i cant word bad things nicely now cuz someone will definitely find leeways around it and twist it as if that's what i really meant. Cant even be rosy posy with words now). Anyway, mother is shit. Hope she dies like his shit of a husband sooner than later.
Im not defending rape here but if yall cant even handle that slight and sudden change of dynamic in what yall thought at first was a smooth sailing stories, yall CANNOT survive being out here. Go read some vanilla af stuff or whatevs
Im living for the angst. Spectacular give me 14 of these.
