EDIT: I am a dumbass for not reading the comments at the top before reading this. Heed those warnings folks.
EDIT 2: I also predict their next victims/people who come for help/counselling will also include men, but that does not erase the blatant misogyny here. I get that the MC is not supposed to be likable and that he is a POS, so yeah, his misogynistic thoughts and views on his predominantly female patients line up with that, but I don't think the misogyny is going to ever not be there in this story. If it is ever present and permeates throughout the story and every woman is portrayed as hysterical overtly dramatic annoying bitches not worthy of respect then we know what the author truly thinks. Even if the character is an unreliable narrator, there should be some incidents that peak through to show that the POS mc is, in fact, unreliable. And if the only female characters that do get respect are ones that show more stereotypical male characteristics, then boy, oh, boy, the misogyny allegations ain't beat.
The horrendous amount of misogyny. The trigger warnings should include pedophilia, and implied harm to animals. Not to mention a child head stomping another child, and the despicable piece of shit MC being turned on and not stopping it. And yes, it is pedophilia, are you, an adult, getting turned on by a situation that involves a child? Yes? Pedophilia. I don't know what mental gymnastics and hoops one has to go through to say this is not pedophilia. I am not unaccustomed to reading dark shit, I have read a lot of Harada, obviously skipped all the pedo shit, I really enjoyed color recipe, but this shit is vile. Once again, the misogyny here is off the charts.
Everyone who loves this will also love this-

This one is reeeally funny too, but it is also dark and scary with a great story!
Yuri has been choosing Aono over and over and over again over herself and even her own life, like literally. She knew him less than a week and even Aono himself found that so odd. She unknowingly (but also willingly) let him bind himself to her like a parasite. It seems it’s time for her to choose, is it him or is it herself, just as it was the unfortunate choice Aono had to make with his god awful abusive mother. She had that weird dependence on Aono, similar to the dependence his mother had on him so she probably had to play that part this entire time, the only difference being that his mother was a broken woman who was extremely selfish and Yuri was entirely self sacrificial (maybe that was selfish in a way too? Aono didn’t want her to do that). Perhaps now that she has seen more value in herself, perhaps she now wants to live and experience new things, she has to kill Aono metaphorically and literally to get through this. She’s finally thinking about herself and breaking out of an abusive pattern, or at least has the capacity to. Just as Aono once had to do, and now she is Aono, and he is his mother. His end was tragic though, let’s see what happens here. Excellent story, I just wish they left out a lot of the weird sex stuff cause I don’t want to see that shit about middle schoolers.
WHY DOES THIS OLD WOMAN HAVE SUCH A GRIP ON YOU DOYEON??? Does Doyeon forget that right after her husband came back it was a “I call you answer” thing where Jinjoo had the upper hand???? Jinjoo has exerted control and dominance and does indeed get off on it but at the same time also has low self esteem. The only thing that she has control over in her life where she seems to have no control is Doyeon and she can’t let that go. She seems upset whenever it seems like Doyeon is slipping away from her all encompassing infatuation and at the same time she hates herself for liking how Doyeon pleases her because despite the fact that she did project 20 years of adult marriage and baggage on Doyeon and used her to satisfy herself and to feel in control, hating her and hating her potential in life, Doyeon is the only person who puts her above everything and adores her, of course that adoration also comes from a fucked up place. She wants to take out her sexual frustration, she wants to feel used but in a controlled way so she can hate Doyeon and what she represents (projects on) to her in a safe space, safe because she knows Doyeon will never leave her. Jinjoo is despicable.
Guyssss, why wasn’t Asa able to come back till now??
Is it just me or is ch 196 out of order and doesn’t make sense??
Lmaoooo, I love this comment section, I love how we are all experiencing the same anger
There is kids-doing-shit-themselves-and-not-telling-elders-ception. There is one bunch of kids, the middle schoolers with Yuri and now there is another set of kids, even younger, doing shit and solving shit themselves without telling their older counterparts (who are only in middle school) what they are doing and planning. I just find this kinda funny lmaoooooo, also the last few panels of this ch, ch 68 were chilling, actually the whole thing is getting scary but the last few panels… yeesh
I literally can’t predict how this will end, damn, it catches me by surprise every time. I guess the last sentence means that Doyeon is blind because she’s going to do this shit again??
He ain’t ugly you guys what the heck??? This has been the art style since the beginning! Geeeeez… Also, does anyone remember the lore around Astaire’s mother and family and the family’s relation to the throne??
I don’t have the patience. They’re going to end up together I know and he probably has his reasons for being such a dickweed but I don’t care to find out or see her go through a teeth pulling process to get back to a place where she (and the audience) is ok with them being together.
I just read ch 1 and I am so pissed. WHY ARE YOU BLUSHING??? I would literally kms the minute I woke up in bed naked with this my infront of me.
Saeko thinking she is pitiful rubs me the wrong way. It runs parallel to her proclivity for needing control, wanting to dominate and possess so that there is constant reassurance. Saeko continuously pities her ability to be vulnerable and to be transparent of her feelings because it’s hard for herself to do, to be in a position where she can get hurt and simultaneously she thinks it is weak. An oxymoron because showing vulnerability like being transparent of how you feel and what you want and need despite the possibility of being hurt is harder for Saeko to do. It isn’t pitiful that someone can’t adequately hide that they like just being near you and that they like to be in your presence. Almost as if Saeko thinks she can see the entire situation and that she is in somewhat control of how their relationship can change. Like it’s up to her.
STOP MAKING KIM DAN IN A POSITION WHERE HE NOW NEEDS HELP AND THERE’S AN AVENUE FOR THIS HAIRGEL LESS MF TO SLIDE IN, THIS IS MANUFACTURED HELPLESSNESS BY THE AUTHOR, I DONT WANT TO ALWAYS SEE THIS MAN ON THE BACKFOOT AND POWERLESS
WHYYYY NOOOOO, literally could have chosen other shit srsly, whyyyy
It isn’t complicated or complex guys, she’s literally selfish, she wants to have her cake and eat it too. There is nothing complex about it, but there is relatability in profound selfishness that ppl sometimes indulge in even though they know it’s wrong and that it hurts others and has consequences. Leaving your dirty dishes in the sink and not cleaning them knowing your partner will clean them eventually is similar. You choose to do this because it’s easier this way and less work for you even though you know it’s a burden for your partner and they get tired too. It is such a small manifestation of such selfishness and cheating is similar. The cheater soaks up all the love, attention, and affection they can get while being a poor partner in return. They use ppl’s affection and feelings to fill themselves up. They just want and the cost is you. They will use you, they will use your body, your stability and your emotional investment and your time, time you could have used on someone who you could love as they would love you, to make themselves feel full and satisfied. The guilt and dread is worth getting that from you while also getting that from someone else. Because they want both even if you don’t want it or consent to being in a relationship with someone who is in a relationship with someone else.
What the actual fuck is going on, I also hate Aono and Yuri together and why tf is all this sexual creepy shit happening to middle schoolers, I don’t wanna see that crap
IT HAS AN EXCELLENT STORY AND IT HAS BOTH WELL DONE HORROR AND COMEDY. LIKE IT ACTUALLY IS REALLY SCARY AT TIMES AND THEN IS SO FUNNY AT TIMES, ONE DOESN’T OVERSHADOW THE OTHER, IT IS SO GOOD!!!!
