Very worried that by the end of this we’re going to lose Ian to Brian. Like Ian will inherit the memories and become more like Brian. It’s the only outcome that justifies this thousand year flashback. But also I would hate it because I prefer Ian over Brian, and him getting the memories and becoming more like Brian would invalidate his entire existence. His deepest insecurities coming true. I feel bad for him because the story, maybe inadvertently, is really coming across like yeah. No one truly cares about you Ian. They only care about Brian and the ML never would have cared for Ian if not for him being a reincarnation. No one cares for Ian, just his ability to become Brian.
Wasn’t a fan of how the ML decided to prove his faithfulness to the MC by just removing himself from temptations. Like he bought a remote cabin in the woods far away from society, of course he wasn’t going to cheat. Would have preferred him prove it by being a consistent partner in an environment were he could easily fall into old habits and CHOOSE not to. Rather than being somewhat forced based on location. Also could have done with a side story of MC not trusting ML bc he really has no reason to.
I don’t like how the husband’s “friend” just gets away with cheating. When the story revolves around the pain of betrayal, the author decided to use his infidelity as a comedic gag? Would have been better if at the very end his wife left him or at least was told. Also didn’t like how the friends lowkey were encouraging the pregnant woman to stay with her verbally abusive husband who would go on violent tirades around the house. What’s the lesson there? Stay with your abuser and HOPE he’ll change? There was a lot of mixed messaging in this, but I liked the main couple.
This was all just the husband’s elaborate plan to get his wife to go along with his cuck fetish.
Uke might as well have said “I’m only 1 week from retirement, what could possibly go wrong?” I sense tragedy.
He’s the one who proposed a contract. If he actually wanted to make her happy, he would have done something to shut his harpy of a mother up. She’s the worst. It wouldn’t surprise me if she threw herself down the stairs to stop FL from leaving. And the ML is so petty from being in a situation of his own creation. I hope after this the FL stops obeying the mother in law and starts letting that family have it. She has no reason to hold back anymore.
Cop sees a woman (omega) in trouble and immediately takes advantage of his position of power to sexually assault her with 0 repercussions. The woman even tries to apologize and clear up the “misunderstanding” for daring to be at a host club in the first place. I’m surprised the cop didn’t also remark on what she was wearing as a reason for the assault.
No amnesia plot. Please I’m begging. And if our boy Woowon survives this, I can bet he’s about to have all freedoms taken away by Seo-an, we might even get a mini confinement arc… Also I want them to switch. If there was ever a more perfect couple for it….
The people hating on Jahan just hate complex characters, also will simp over the literal rapists and abusers in the story bc “hot”. Jahan’s mother SOLD him to pedos ever since he was a child (remember the rant about his mother suffering the same WITH him), he was raised to sell himself and never learned a healthy way of coping. It’s understandable and tragic that he has a sex addiction, but tries to do better for MC’s sake, though failing at times because it’s all he’s ever known. He is the only one in the story who genuinely cares about MC and has no ulterior motives. They even point out he could leave this life of poverty now, but doesn’t because he cares about MC and doesn’t want to leave him alone. Jahan has been the MC’s only source of happiness and companionship for nearly 10 years, the goal of them going to Korea together and starting a farm likely being a major reason MC stopped his suicidal ideations. And what, people hate Jahan, the literal victim of pedohelia, because he’s “slutty”? Because he suffers from an addiction brought on by years of childhood abuse? Grow up. The “slutty” comments really prove you’re not mature enough to read this kind of story yet.
Can a novel reader please spoil now on earth these 2 wind up together. Because being drugged, violently raped (ML even contemplating raping MC to death), and then being killed (attempted but ML thought it succeeded) all seem like real breakers to me. Without mind break or stalkholme syndrome there really is no believable way. I NEED spoilers.
They could make the “met as kids” coincidence less contrived if the entire reason Jin became a prosecutor/works with police is because of what happened to the twins. If they’re both trying to solve related mysteries, thus leading them toward the same local, then it would make more sense and feel less forced for them to meet again.
I’m thinking the guy who hurt the twins either got off suuuuper light or completely scott free. MC hunting him down for revenge and maybe Jin doing the same but to either find the twins or give the evil man the sentence he deserved…. Super wishful thinking on my part though.
If it’s “have sex with me or lose your job” or anything where the person in power is using that power to coerce someone of a lower position into sleeping with them… that’s rape. The seme is toxic and no better than the boys who raped MC. He constantly ignores how much MC hates sleeping with him, how much MC obviously dislikes pain, and is overall miserable in this situation. He only cares about getting himself off and forcing his sexual preferences on a partner he knows won’t say no to him due to the power imbalance. This is not consensual BDSM and this is not good representation of BDSM. Cannot believe there are people in the comments defending the seme.
And I doubt the author intended this, but it seems less like the MC is falling for ML and more like he’s mind breaking given the way ML keeps triggering his trauma and abusing him, with Mc seeing no way out other than giving up his job. Which is the only thing holding up his self worth at this point, and even that is going away.
Really wish Rashta would do a 180 and focus all her efforts on humiliating the emperor now that she knows he only ever saw her as a tool, and start purposefully trashing the royal family’s legitimacy, ultimately leading to the internal destruction of this pro-slavery nation.
I’m amazed the MC was able to chase after the ML for so many chapters considering he has no spine. It’s incredible the things one can do with the power of delusion.
Checked the raws and it’s yet more adults acting horny teenagers with 0 brain cells. Going forward it’s going to be 90% fucking, 5% plot, and 5% bullshit. I will never understand why authors choose adult characters when they clearly don’t know how to write someone who has matured past puberty.
Why did the author romanticize selling off children as literal sex slaves? It’s disgusting how happy go lucky they tried to make forced sexual slavery of CHILDREN. Actually makes my stomach queasy.
Once she finally leaves him after realizing what a pos he is. Until then it’s just a naive girl being naive, nothing special enough about her characterization for me to tolerate yet another awful husband taking advantage of his poor, doe of a wife for 100+ chapters. *sigh*
