I just want the mc to get revenge and we’re getting this crap still? Ugh someone tell me when that asshole gets what’s coming to him for being a creep, I live for the revenge arcs.
Yea it’s unfortunate, there’s not much character development here, it’s already another season. I thought maybe the mc would start getting his get back but guess not. I need at least 7 chapters of the creep feeling despair and being embarrassed of his actions. Cause he is despicable, I’ve never disliked a manhwa character this much lol. Maybe we’ll get an arc where the mind control stops working.
At this point, it isn't quiet mind control. It's more like tampered memories. Or more accurate, a person goes through a traumatic experience and has some unexpected feelings after.
But I agree It feels like Seme will just get away with it.
Unless he specifically says I brainwashed you, I don't think the uke will stand up for himself.
He's already falling for this is what close brothers do, because I think younger brother wanted to be close in the first place
He knows his boo wants him dead but would rather just take out the pawns, dude just actually can’t face it. The thing is…. yeonjo’s best revenge is to off himself, otherwise our charming nemesis will never actually take any accountability for his past action. He’ll just keep killing the pawns and it’ll maybe break down Yeonjo but at this point, can you truly be happy with yourself? You killed his family, he basically he had no choice but to be with you or be put through the ringer by other perverts, nothing he truly has is what he wants by his heart. The heart can continued to be tricked but the reality will always be there.
I like the realism the story has, but ppl forget the not so nice beginnings. His sweet demeanor now doesn’t trick me into forgetting he’s still a weird person job or not.
Lol sorry I had to read him for filth cause he’s so smart, fine, and goal oriented. Both are, which is why they’re perfect for each other but the history I will not be swayed, Yeonjo gotta off himself at this point.
I feel so bad for the mc cause he thinks he’s crazy but he’s been right all along and his past self is trying to warn him each interaction and dream.
The ml is a complete psychopath in the past, worse in the future because he knows who he is. He wanted this even in the past once he lost the mc. He knew who he was even before that swim meet, he planned every single thing after that, every action he took was to soothe the mc into thinking otherwise when he still is the psycho he was back then. He’s isolated him by making him seem irritated at places, making ppl think he’s the nice one, making him think that he’s the only one that can be relied on. This dude is charismatic, intelligent, and obsessive. I knew the overcompensating was cause he was who the mc said all along. I can’t wait until they come across someone who can truly prove he’s the psycho and let the mc win in this life, he doesn’t need to be tormented again. It’s no fair that he gets the upper hand once again.

While I completely agree with what you are mentioning, I have a different point of view on the ending.
I really like ‘psychological’ / ‘obsessive’ type of stories with an ‘enigmatic’ ending (this is also because I do not appreciate ‘Tragic’ ending with deaths to begin with for example nor ‘happy’ endings when the story themes do not match the ending itself).
This kind of story cannot end well, and we readers know that, but the author gives us a smoke screen of happiness. By the end of this story the Uke is Happy, the Seme is Happy. They are happy, but they are not.
Now it is us readers that can choose how to imagine after this sort of enigmatic open ending: the Uke will remain happy for all his life with the seme, but just because he fell for the latter manipulation (the seme keeps on faking his nice persona) . Alternatively we can imagine foreshadowing the fatal ending when pretty clearly the UKE will realise the whole manipulation and most probably will make the same choice as his previous life by killing himself.
All in all the UKE cannot escape seme and Seme cannot go over his obsession neither in last or future lifes - thus this cycle of dark love and dark happiness, which matches the whole story idea.
Obviously I do not mean to convince anyone that this kind of love is good (absolutely not), but I just wanted to express my point to why I like these kinds of stories and kinds of enigmatic endings
I’m ready for the chasing, the self improvement arc for Asskyung. I know he can’t truly redeem himself but I’m interested to see how far the author will make him go. He’s on the receiving end now and I love it lol. But seriously he’s getting punched to reality little by little.
Hope the next season has longer chapters with more substance too.
I kind of like that both main characters are messed up in their own ways, it’s why they’re drawn to each other. They mirror each other. Also, the seme is undeniably in love with the uke, I think it’s a mix of obsession and love. He’s unhinged so it definitely comes off as like a drug addiction except he’s obsessed with the boy instead. In conclusion, they both need help and one needs to soften up and admit he’s more than just having “fun”.
I mean at least for the most part the uke seems to have some type of pushback and isn’t super useless but he’s omega so the alpha uses it to r word him over and over and it’s soooo unpleasant. You know he can’t pinpoint his cycle and he has trouble with it. You basically blackmailed him into living with you AND marrying you AND YOU’RE TREATING THE PERSON WHO HAS YOUR CHILD LILE THIS??? You’re r wording them and making them feel like trash??? Wtf. I do not like the alpha at all and NOTHING will redeem him. Dude is proud to be a predator. Most do these stories are like this, same storyline.
It's weird too cuz has Ian always been like this?!?
Then wtf did Noah even like him in the first place?!?
He's so desperate to see him one last time and for what?!? What kind of Convo did he imagine having by showing up at his ex's place?!? Like what would have happened if Ian hadn't been in his rut?!? Wouldn't Ian just be like, "what are you doing here?!?" He wants to be shamed?!?
Were they gonna have a Convo about the weather?!? The class they just took?!? Plans for the future?!?
No, in the beginning it was emotionally abusive. The seme befriended him knowing he was lonely, love bombed him, made him feel he HAD to do certain things or they’d no longer talk then once he realized the uke fell for him he had no more reason to pretend to care about him. He been poisoning him since the beginning. It’s crazy to say but what we’re seeing now is the aftermath of what that mind control led to.
I'm not going to assume what he was like in the past.
I don't get where you saw the emotional abusiveness in the original form.
Also, I'm not sure why you would assume YeJun was lonely?!?
And you assumed he was "love-bombed".
He was DEF NOT love-bombed.
He also lacks the ability or desires ton have friends. He could have easily befriended other people. It's not like DoYoon has kept him ISOLATED or anything?!?
He didn't befriend him because he was "lonely". They met each other first day of class. If YeJun had wanted to or had the capability of making friends he would have. He has a seemingly passive personality. He also only have the ONE SINGLE friend beach home. He's probably an introvert or just not very sociable. Most ppl have more than one friend. I've not seen anyone introduced aside from this SINGLE friend. Don't read something intro ir that's not there. You're assuming a lot based on your bias against DoYoon. He was never physically aggressive in the past. He has certainly seduced him and he knows of YeJun 's developing feelings for him in the past, but he didn't emotionally abuse him. If anything, he was callous and neglectful, since he didn't care more for him than as a side dish.
YeJun stayed with him and had sex with him because he doesn't want to be rejected. I don't know what would have happened if he had said no to the sex and asked DoYoon up front if DoYoon wanted to date him instead of being afraid and then closed his eyes and jumped in the fire. If DoYoon was so abusive why would he have fallen for him in the first place?!? What's so attractive about that?!? Is there something wrong with his brain?!? I don't see it him say any of the crap that he's said now in Noah's flashbacks.
Is is money? Is that why the chapters have such little development and are short like this? When I say short, I’ve read so many stories that are short BUT they do not lack in SOME development. I wonder how long the entire story will be at this point. This is a loop and I’m wondering how long it’ll take for Dan to find his balls and realize he can be nice and not be a punching bag. Geez other uke have at least given some pushback at this point lol and Dan won’t even do the bare minimum. Also, I’m sure potato will say something later but his first priority while JK was on a rampage is to take care of his needs and wait until he’s calmer.
Noooo don’t make me faint lmao there’s no way I can get through 80+ chapters of this unless we start getting development after this chapter. The only thing making me read is the hope for it lol or just to see JK get punished. I’d like to read for the development *slouches in chair* . Guess is he was bullied by the guy. It should be a bigger hint though. We’re STILL guessing….
I feel like the cheating thing again is overplayed with this story. I would’ve wanted Jekr to lose fairly but I think…Jerk will lose, Dan will be blamed even after potato defends him, Dan will finally explode and quit, Jae will realize through some reports or hidden video or overheard convo that the match was cheated after Dan is hired by another team. Hell realize he has actual feelings for Dan, rethink his childhood and his problems and start questioning his obsession with winning. Hell think about the one person that was in his corner was his punching bag like he was someone else’s punching bag, know he messed up. Dan will play hard to get a little, he’ll get worn down, due to his grandmother’s condition and stress. OR Dan will shun him away and focus on what’s actually important, Jerk won’t like that and be in denial, he’ll see Dan working for the enemy or something (likely being hired after quitting, due to the medicine needed for gramps) jerk will be at a crossroads and knows he’s the cause of it all, his present misfortune and start his hero/redemption arc. Blah blah
Or After Dan is blamed, it’ll be exposed as a scheme after the loss and Jerk will have lost him because Dan finally comes to his senses and tells him off. The redemption arc begins when he’s brought back to the feeling or being embarrassed, humiliated and knowing that he basically bullied Dan like the reminder that he was a scrawny victim once, everyone will see how he treats Dan front row (this could happen before the scheme is revealed and worse if the news reporters/enemy team etc see it) he’s now labeled a bully who is also a sore loser. F**k his arc though Dan needs an independent arc.









I saw some ppl invalidating how others may perceive/feel about the wacko. Yes he’s a psycho with issues, it doesn’t exactly mean he lacks boundaries. There are serial killers that pretend to have boundaries, some actually don’t. For me, he’s just a sick guy who doesn’t exactly care about the doctor’s wants, he wouldn’t have repeatedly taken him if he did, boundaries or not. This is because when they first meet he tells him what he likes/his kinks and basically that he lacks that control, he’s def self aware.
It’s ok to like a character, you don’t have to tell another person they simply don’t understand the “complex character”, I think a lot of ppl understand him but just disagree with excusing his actions, that he’s as socially awkward or traumatized as he seems. Not every serial killer is this cowering traumatized person that cannot comprehend rules etc. Some will perceive him as a wacko who does what he does cause he doesn’t care not someone who DOESN’T know what boundaries are. Some will perceive him the opposite. It’s ok.
I like the story, it’s interesting. I did expect more realism on how the doctor was acting but can’t have it all. I get why some ppl checked off at the early stage. Some ppl will not like the characters or storyline. It’s fine. Won’t convince them. I don’t even like MJ myself. I don’t even think of them as a couple tbh. I think the doctor is mad weird but the actual story outside of that is interesting.
As long as i dont see mj raping doctor, we’re good
My exact same thoughts tbh
