This story is so frustrating bc the main characters are big huge idiot dumdums. The alpha literally has rocks for brains. He's a grown man and doesn't know basic human emotion even very young children can grasp.
His two big "realizations" are so shallow and nonsensical it's insulting to readers. Jihyuk is one of the messiest, most self-centered MC's I've ever seen. Constantly contradicting himself, seemingly emotionally literate and insightful one moment, then completely dense the next. Firm with boundaries one moment, then just lets ppl do whatever to him the next--at the whim of the author for whatever plot point needs to happen next OR to make sure Jihyuk is the biggest victim at all times. Both he and the alpha are nothing but caricatures of tropes to the extreme, that it's actually almost funny. (Not complaining about the omega, because of the three, I find him to be the most polished in terms of characterization and narrative)
Anyway this story has good stuff too. Knotting. Omega top. Jihyuk's suicidal thoughts feel very real. The art improved a crazy amount the last few chapters. And one of my favorite melodrama tropes, inexplicably puking blood bc of Anguish.
...See you guys here next chapter
Maybe I'm paranoid, but it's starting to feel like Jaewon is getting set up to be killed. That photo was so chilling and the hard cut from his pure, warm memories to Taekyung being defiled was soooo effective. Authornim really understands horror!
*this is speculation, NOT an invitation for spoilers
STOPPPPO DONT MANIFEST THISSSS
OMG YES and maybe thats why there spending so much time showing us him to build sympathy
Yeppp my thoughts exactly. The childhood memories are just too sweet and pure to last for this kind of story, it feels like an omen.
The narrative was setting up Jaewoo as endgame the whole time.... and then he got completely shafted. This was a hard read for me. I spent so much time pissed off at the twins' parents for indulging Seowoo all the way through high-school and allowing him to take advantage of his brother. Even dying his hair, with the expectation that Jaewoo will do everything he finds too hard to do?? "This way you can still be me!" FUCK OFF. So Jaewoo does all the hard work getting Ohn used to him and able to talk normally, and then Seowoo gets to reap all the reward. The way Ohn got over the deception was unsatisfying. The conversation between the twins was unsatisfying. Idk it was cutesy, but also frustrating.
EXACTLY!! plus the author ruined jaewoos character to justify the final couple. the whole story frustrated me so much.
I knew it's sus when im only halfway of the story. That's why i look in the comments and saw this. I totally agree. Other people are saying Jaewoo betrayed his brother, but how about him getting enough of being used. He's the one who worked hard to get close to Raon that Seowoo couldn't muster the courage to do while Jaewoo had it in him to stop being a doormat to his brother and prioritise his own feelings when he has internal struggle being known as himself, so finding out Seowoo being endgame is BS. He's just a spoiled prick who took advantage of people's care to endulge him with his whims. Im dropping this
Lmao im so angry i got the name wrong for Ohn
Lmaaooo yeah this was struggle to read. I don't blame you for dropping it.
And Seowoo can get away with it because he's the one acting all cute and shi. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ Gaaahhh poor Jaewoo deserves better.
2 seasons, 65 chapters in, and there haven't been any major developments beyond a shared heat and an agreement to work together... Idk the pacing is kind of weird. It feels like the plot has slowly been building but never culminates. Especially when a season ends on a scene that seems like any other chapter. The characters and art are cute at least.
Maybe coz the orig novel was really hella long i guess that's why the manhwa has a slow progress too idk its fine for me
Pain in my kokoro :') but also YAASSSS go off Sejin
Wow Chongho got Yirim pregnant again IMMEDIATELY, aaahhh Chognho is so hot in a gat, he looks so serious. Honestly can't blame Yirim for locking him down so fast
Aahhh I love this, honestly I'll be happy wherever the story goes bc the characters are so interesting and complex. Good or bad end, this is my jam. Kind of hope there's a good chase and take down scene in the woods followed by punishment sex though
so you hope he gets raped?
The profile says it all
calling rape punishment sex is just diabolical
Weirdo
I NEED A LIKE BUTTON FOR THIS.
Punishment sex....?
I hope you get eradicated from this planet you rapist apologist. Stop watching pornography.
An euphemism that rapists and their apologists invented to justify rape
The fact that you 10 people liked this comment is so fucking weird
*the fact that 10 people.
You are not included. My bad for the accidental "you"
get help wtf...
lmao we cool no worries
I like cnc roleplay and I enjoy dark stories, psychosexual thrillers like this one included! It's really as simple as that. No need to act like I'm some criminal and wish death on me just because I'm not ashamed of enjoying bodice rippers and rape fantasies. I'm a sexual assault survivor myself so I'm very aware of what's fun pretend/interesting to read about/explore in fiction and what's a crime.
Uhm girl, that's a bit concerning and weird get some help. No hate
It isn't weird or concerning at all, so I'm perfectly happy to enjoy my fulfilling life that happens to also include enjoying dark romance horror stories. We can agree to disagree and move on.
Don’t let them silence you. Speak your truth!
NOT AN EXCUSE
NEXXXTTTTTT
I hope these side stories never end and author-nim just keeps having fun making these two be as freaky as possible
Yo is your pfp from sadistic beauty
Sadistic Beauty side story, yes
I love sadistic beauty lol and the spin offs so respect
The way this story completely glosses over the kid lol I swear unless he's being used as a plot device, the author practically forgets he exists lol little buddy is just sleeping, he's basically a prop. Could replace him with a lamp
