One of the best written manhwas i have read hands down. The writer's EQ is through the roof. Just brilliantly written. The characterization is so good. Especially the MC, his writing is so nuanced and his trauma is so accurately portrayed. The trauma of the MC, the humanity and generosity of spirit of the seemingly happy go lucky ML, the human condition of vulnerability, the clinical rendering of Asian narcissistic abusive parents, and a child raised by such a person and society, their loneliness, social alienation, the unadulterated pain of a lost childhood, lost innocence, a whole life's worth of lost chances to love and be loved, the feeling of helplessness and despair, yet how love still makes even such a life worth living, all of it is packaged so beautifully in this manhwa. Kudos writer. I want to read more stories like this one. The art is very expressive and panelling is very clean. It has triggers, depiction of trauma and depression so personal discretion is a must. It makes me very happy that in a genre where the ukes often get flanderized as the story goes by, this story isn't like that. The writer is not trying to evoke empathy from the readers through tear jerker scenes and over the top situations but by showing the reader, the inner world of the MC, which is rich. he is emotional and thoughtful and generous and strong and standing despite everything, still wanting to believe in love and hope despite his circumstances. And that writing decision makes all the difference. There was no obvious manipulation, the typical amateurish type writing that assumes the reader is a fool. The writer urges the reader to truly feel what the characters are trying to say through their writing and art. That's why this writer is different. That's what makes them good.
