this guy is an absolute freak bastard but also probably the funniest character i’ve ever seen?

Oh dear, this is all so sad.
I feel so sorry for her, this has to be one of the most brutal, crushing displays of slow rotting agony in a patriarchal love.
Bjorn is a bastard, and on top of that he’s not equipped to even begin understanding why and how this is going to end badly. From the very beginning he’s never allowed his vision of Erna to evolve beyond the convenient, stupid, malleable sex doll he won in a bet. Even when his own sincere feelings began to develop, they were hamstrung by his own misogyny. He can’t imagine a world where she’s a complex human being, his ideal wife is ultimately an unfulfilling and unachievable pipe dream, but he’s so used to getting everything he wants he can’t process it.

So his foot is glued to the patriarchal pedal, and everything is going his way, and his wife is capitulating to all his demands in spite of the way he’s treated her, and he’s incapable of doing the one thing that can save her and their relationship; allowing her to be a human being who is enraged and ugly and broken and out of his control.

Lord it’s all so familiar, we’ve heard this song before, the stupid little boy and the woman he almost killed trying to turn her into a doll. I know she’ll be okay, but god it’s so easy to imagine the version of this story where she doesn’t… it’d be karmic.

see this is why yall gotta watch out when you call a protagonist weak or stupid bc sometimes their naïveté is going somewhere and the writing is bomb. “I see, everything had been met with quiet acceptance” “I don’t know if it was pretty enough for him” Cripplingly sad lines.

Oh take the ABSOLUTE piss that’s where the cliffhanger ends

AHAHAHHAHAHA wowwww what a note to end on. I knew the mc was an absolute prick about being vulnerable, but he was truly an unflinching dickhead to the last moment. Genuinely burst out laughing when i saw ‘The End’. I can’t tell whether I loved him or hated him but he was certainly interesting!!!!!

wow this guy suuuuuuucks

Oh god long post. I get kind of frustrated with people saying this has ass characters/writing when it’s clearly an extremely well constructed toxic dynamic. Obviously to clarify I’m not out here saying what Wooyeon does Is Fine. He sucks, he’s arrogant, his mental illness does not excuse his actions because, contrary to popular opinion, those with ASPD/dark triad markers are actually more likely to manifest apathy towards others than outright sadism. It reads a lot more as an excuse for his shithead behaviour.
BUT… narratively there IS something compelling about a manipulative control freak who’s paying too much attention to his own puppet show to notice he’s falling in love simply because he underestimates his own capacity for sincerity. Likewise a protagonist too self-aware to outrun the horrible realisation he IS, actually, very capable of loving a man who has no problem hurting him and those around him… that’s sauce!!!
They are clearly not role models for an ideal relationship dynamic! They are being written, intentionally, as foil for one another in a broader narrative about the anxiety of falling in love. Wooyeon is on one side of the scale, he has an ice cold grip on his own emotions and observes himself from a distance, everything is deliberate, calculated, according to plan. Inseop is on the other, he cannot control what he feels, his feelings are a betrayal of what he knows is right, he cannot help but sabotage his own rationality because he’s in horrible, hateful love (he’s wilfully negligent, even).
When they are around one another, they destroy each other. Literally, yes, but also spiritually. Wooyeon finds there are facets within him that he didn’t know were there, a terrifying and rage-inducing feeling for someone who’s always had power over his own actions. Inseop realises he’s finding peace with the fact he loves a bastard, he manufactures self-loathing because he feels like he SHOULD hate himself for loving Wooyeon, that’s what a good person would feel. And if he doesn’t, if he actually genuinely is okay with loving this man, then what does that make him?
It’s total annihilation.
Some of the most interesting love stories are about destruction, about the upside-down feeling that you’re losing your grip on yourself, the awful and wonderful ways people will change you against your will, realising there are parts of you you never knew existed and maybe don’t like very much, about surrendering control and embracing oblivion. They’re not for everyone, they can be a tough read, but that doesn’t mean they’re not GOOD.

I’ve said it before but i’ll say it again, I really like the direction the webtoon adaption is going in. Tonally it’s a more comedic than the novel, which makes the dark absurdist comedy a LOT funnier, but it also manages to keep one foot solidly planted in the bleak dark fantasy. It’s a really fantastic adaption that feels like it’s doing its own thing.
And I’m even okay with the sexual themes being less explicit, though do I wonder how they’re going to manage some of those later scenes… we’ll have to wait and see.

jesus christ i need a shot of whiskey

this comic is currently load bearing for mental health

They make these beautifully interesting stories with wonderfully compelling main characters but they aaaaaalways always always add this weird incest twist and it’s gross. Like idc how much the text looks down on incestual attraction on the surface, it’s weird by virtue of constantly showing up. They’re obsessed with this dynamic of an abusive brother interfering with this disinterested mc’s love life and the inability to cut off a sibling relationship without humiliating themselves in front of a parent and creepy tragic incestuous SA and… god it rly sours the whole read.
