Also the girl would be the first to die in a horror movie fr, the chasa and the silly guy with her deserve better pls don't let them die
Overall this was a pleasant read, I would recommend, but I do have some grievances with it that I need to confess:
First is how trivialized the cheating was treated in this story. Ml's brother was treated as a one dimensional bad guy when his backstory had the perfect setup for a complex and deep victim turned perpetrator character. I mean, his father used his mother's family's money to get rich, then cheated on her and made a child with another woman when she was SICK AND DYING, then immediately brought the mistress and the child home right after she died, no grieving, no respect, and he kept his position as president all throughout. I would've been pissed too. I'm not saying he was justified, as he misdirected his anger at his brother who wasn't at fault for being born who he was, but I HATE how he was portrayed as nothing but an entitled, envious villain rather than a betrayed child that didn't even have time to grieve his mother and went down the wrong path. Massive missed opportunity.
Second is how the ml was characterized. He was initially a creepy stalker who bribed mc's acquaintances, threatened him to work for him and then forced him to relive his worst trauma by making another zombie, but he IMMEDIATELY shifts completely into a perfectly good person for several dozen chapters after that with no indication of his previous personality. I was convinced his personality had been retconned until it got brought up again many chapters later and?? Resolved?? Apparently? Like it felt really sudden and I get he was doing it to control mc, but there should've been at least subtle hints of his true intentions to keep his character consistent. Also, he didn't even apologize for what he did, he was just like "I genuinely love you now, no more acting" and apparently that absolved him of all the fucked up shit he did to mc. Mc is also weird in that sense, as he immediately started trusting ml after joining Chord and let him drag him around for clothing, food, touch and him and responded positively to his flirting. That made NO sense dude, especially for someone who's been as isolated and traumatized and distrustful as mc, his actions didn't match how he had acted merely a few chapters prior.
Oh and they cut all the smut, the yaoi tag is probably bc of the implication of sex but there isn't anything explicit shown, so if you wanted to see some light sabers this is not for you.
I have no trust for the patient stuck with mc, he's probably aligned with the crazy nurse or vying for the codex. I wish mc'd get through this domain alone but I have the feeling ml is gonna show up and ultimately save him which tbh I'm not that big a fan of, I wanted to see that mc is capable and not a damsel in distress that depends on ml
Also doesn't anyone feel a little bit bad for the zombie? He was so expressive, I felt like he was maybe someone who got stuck in the ghost domain and decayed by staying for too long or a dead patient that got transported there, probably reaching tho lmaoo
Tops who like the bottom but not each other doesn't even feel like a three way. Would've been infinitely better if the tops actually liked each other
I mean this dynamic has its appeal too.
No face reveal and no name reveal?? Bruh it was all about him still being beautiful despite the curse but the author doesn't have the balls to listen to their own message and SHOW US
FUCK WHY DIDN'T I LET THIS MARINATE
I'm doing that last week forward cause I'm not trying to cry rn.
I was on my way to add confirmation to my comment last week that looks nearly identical to yours but decided to give up looking for it when I saw your username and stopped to comment about that, that was when I realized I could stop scrolling and just agree with you.
Your sn caught me cause I have a white snek! He's a blue eyed leucistic ball python! He's my child and an absolute baby!
Oooh that's really cool! I chose the username randomly so idk much about snakes but I looked yours up and they're sooo pretty! Seemed like it's a rare type too
They are, both lol. My kid saved up to get him. He's a special little snek too. Even his vet says he's the sweetest snek they'd ever met and want to take him home lol.
GOD I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF THE ML YEARNING it's so scrumptious what a 5 star meal
Bro's the king of mixed signals, he's so fucked up it's insane. I do wish mc was a little more creeped out that he got lied to all this time tho this was meant to be a betrayal
