The ending was sooo rushed. Could have used the 50+ chapters that literally nothing happens in the right beginning. I don't blame the author though the company rushes them usually to drag them more or finish them fast. Sad bc feels like really wasted potential. I heard the novel is better but drags it too long there too with muah misunderstandings or npc rivals. Instead of that they could focus on seme getting help like going to a therapist and uke too and try to redeem better themselves.
Not bad but rushed and could use the dragging long chapters in the beginning if it was a chapter limit issue.
idk which novel you read but you're probably mistaken it for this story. There are no npc rivals (Wooyeon would pob them before they talk to Inseob) and the novel isn't dragging anything theres so much more stuff going and it is important to their relationship, even the side stories are written so beautifully and Wooyeon did redeem himself

This happens in the novel
Seme and uke used to be friends in high school. Seme confessed his feelings to uke. But uke was in gay denial smth and got pissed that he got confessed by a dude so along with some of his friends they gang raped seme. They took video of it too and then send it to the semes mom and she went to the hospital after watching it, got heart attack or smth (i don't remember if she died or not).
After that seme swore to take revenge on him and trained under a mob boss. Uke was always violent in general so he got into fights and in one fight he hit his head and got amnesia/brain damage so he doesn't remember anything from the past and what he did to seme.
Also not sure about this detail but some say that uke was also drugging/raping girl classmates too at date rapes something, while others say that he didn't and only played and sleeped around with them. It's translation issue so someone who speaks Korean can really tell if he did that also or not.
IIRC they do end up together it's not exactly happy ending like uke gets together with that guy friend of his too who is actually nice but still ends up with seme but they both know that their relationship and feelings aren't healthy and fucked up something. Like how sadistic beauty ended in a way. Like bleak happy ending idk how to call it?
There is no future for such a relationship.
Oh sorry he is the friend I now understood yeah like he isn't as nice since he did participate and planned all this too and now pretends to care about the uke and his wellbeing. He didn't expect the rape and everything just wanted to bully him back iirc but the thug dudes took it that far.
In general all characters are POS fr no one is innocent or kind.
Yes yes the brown hair dude iirc! Yeah he isnt as nice but I read that later on he tries to help him smth they fuck too but uke chooses seme in the end.
Yeah sadistic beauty story very different i mean the endings are kinda similar like they aren't that happy together. In sadistic beauty Minho feels pity and stays with Wookyung who does look remorseful after almost losing minho but is still ofc obssesive and can't let him go.
In this case, novel readers say that they stay bc they both have really complicated feelings for each other and Stockholm syndrome and in general very toxic and have hurt each other but they still stay together and lick each others wounds (wounds each caused to each other).
Yeah when what happened with minho and his gangrape Wookyung was feeling horrible and that was one of the triggers that he has taken it too far. Minhos attempt was when he truly realized what he has done and was ready to let him go.
Wookyung is yandere while this seme is just vindictive and wants revenge. Kinda of a yangire too bc he does obsssess over uke too but yanderes hate sharing their SO and are over jealous.
At first I was feeling bad for uke but after I saw spoilers of what he did to seme...makes sense why he is so angry with him seme and does what he does. Not justifying all this but honestly...uke is really no innocent.

Translated the Q&As
I used MTL so there might be some mistakes. I don't know korean so please do correct me if you spot any.

Do we know if s2 doing well in popularity and sales? I'd kms if this gets cancelled fr.
Yeah you are right about that. We do see the others often too, I mean Jin and the rest, but they're no longer the center and we don't see his POVs. It's like the story changes POV from different person. Many liked Jin with Charin too. I like how unpredictable this work is I hope it becomes more famous.
I think the often hiatuses don't help too, but the poor author is already trying their best despite suffering an autoimmune illness.







At least they finished it. Racism is really horrible. Imagine driving an author to quit and rush up their work because God forbid they use Chinese setting/soldiers instead of Korean one! Like doesn't even make sense?! Let people write whatever they want, wasn't even disrespectful or anything. With that logic Ennead writer or every other writer that writes about different cultures, religions, countries etc of theirs are doing wrong? Is there a rule that says that you must write only about your own country, culture? Doesn't make any sense fr. Racism and radical nationalism is such a braindead behavior.
Great work overall and beautiful art. Robot kun such a qt.
