since i first started reading this, i believed the author was building up a toxic and unsustainable relationship, and i was 100% sure the story would end with them parting ways. i still think that would have made much more sense than what we actually got. you can't just spend over a hundred chapters characterizing yuri as a controlling, cold, selfish and violent person, to just forget all of that and give him a happy ending. this ending is literally everything i didn't want to happen to this story. and i wouldn't even mind if it ended with seonwoo being trapped in a toxic relationship with yuri, as long as the toxicity and abuse was acknowledged and recognized within the story. meanwhile here i feel like i'm being fucking gaslit, watching them being sort of lovey dovey, as if i didn't read about yuri being physically violent and doing extremely creepy shit like 30 chapters ago. the narrative lacks so much self awareness, it's like it doesn't even realize or recognize what it's portraying. it's really a shame, because before the two of them got together, i seriously though this series was one of the best I had ever read.
