Since this got canceled I went and read the novel and I can't recommend it enough.
It was so good and the seme has the best character development ever and falls for the uke so naturally.
The smut is also much more slow burn in the novel if I remember right. I think only the side stories are rated mature (idk it's been a while).
Overall really wholesome with green flag seme.
Sadly the site where I read it doesn't exist anymore.
This is the only site I could find where it seems to be complete. Looks like it's the official English translator's website so you'll have to pay to read:

It was good and I liked both MCs a lot, but the pacing was way too fast.
Everything resolved instantly without the slightest build up.
It didn't leave me any time to get invested or really feel anything tbh
This had huge potential had it been longer and more drawn out, but was still a good short read
I totally get why people might dislike this but honestly I loved it. Not saying it's a masterpiece or anything but...
The suspense was crazy, the writing was good, and while the seme was a psychopath, he was likeable. Instead of a stone faced top who's only an asshole for the sake of being an asshole and a malice to the uke, we got a genuine psychopathic murderer who loved the uke in the only way he knows how.
There was no pointless rape going on in every chapter, mostly dub-con because the situation was fucked, but seme explicitly tells him he can say no and is free to leave, several times, tho the consequences would've been a bit uh... yknow.
And dick sizes are somewhat normal sized, can you imagine that? No asses have been destroyed here.
Uke is smart, and watching these two felt a bit like Light vs Kira to some extent, haha. He also didn't just suddenly turn dumb or anything, no he's a smart pretty bean all the way through. Seme is just equally smart
But lemme just tell you the police is absolutely useless here, holy moly
I liked the ending. It's kinda what you expected and while they could've chosen a different route that would've also been satisfying I didn't mind the way it ended. It just fit.
Seme is a serial killer, and that doesn't change. He doesn't magically get his mental health back and stop in the name of love or something, his character stays true to himself throughout the entire story. But I liked him in a way you usually like good written villains. You don't condone what they do, but you still root for them from time to time.
What I didn't like so much were the sidestories. I know what the author tried to do with the first half,
but I think it was totally unnecessary. We did get a bit more insight into their relationship and thoughts, but eh... could've done that without whatever random shitshow the first half was.
All in all it was a really fucked up but enjoyable read, something I can't say often about a toxic story, and even less so about the seme in it.
If I had to describe their love I would say it was beautiful in a very twisted way.
Oh yeah and fuck seme's dad bruh, that man needed Jesus the most
Aaand there it goes right in my garbage list.
No matter how decent art and story are, it's not good enough to just ignore the garbage writing in the middle.
Dear author, if you are so adamant on writing rape, at least make it a plot device, or treat it as rape... do literally anything with it except this pointless scene that's doing nothing more than ruin the characters.
Bro literally drugged and raped him, and instead of apologizing afterwards he blamed the victim. You can't sink lower than this. Seme is literal garbage and uke just rolls with it. How do you fuck character writing up this badly, I'm actually astonished.
I'm so fucking tired of this ocean of toxic rape stories that I'll simply immediately drop any story if I see scenes like this. And I've never been more thankful for illegal sites like this because imagine paying money for this shit.
Amen
Add scammed and rammed to your garbage list bc that was the biggest disappointment to ever exist
holy shit I remember reading this but never finished it
Good thing I didn't waste my time further with it
FRRRR, what's with all of these BLs giving such high expectations just to end with rape. Like there are other ways to prove a point
I get they both like it rough, but you can have rough sex without making your partner bleed.
It always makes me cringe and think "yep he's not gonna shit for the next few days" because even the tiniest cut down there hurts like a bitch for days
Let's not talk about literal shit touching an open wound and potentially causing an infection.
I just can't turn off my brain and not think about this just because it's fiction ╮(￣▽￣)╭
That's why the "he likes it" just doesn't work for me. Even pain kinks have a limit lol
The author wanted this scene to be simply rough sex, the blood was completely unnecessary
Have Koreans dicks so tiny they have to compensate through fiction? Honest question.
I don't understand why else literally every single top in Manhwa has a cock the size of my entire torso. I like big dicks like the next girl but they're honestly so ridiculously over the top it's just a massive turn off and has me just skipping the smut in manhwas by now.
I can somehow look past the weird self lubrication they always have going on. But aside from all the rape everywhere, them somehow defying physics and being able to shove in an entire leg dry and unprepared just has me facepalming.
Reminds me of those over the top hentais where you can barely see the woman because her breasts are bigger than her, lmao
Idk either but Im no complaining
Its enjoyable to see big dicks like that in fiction
I mean Id be scared if I see it irl
so Fiction will do lmao
Well i have seen my korean friend’s. It wasnt tiny
I feel like it's because it became a standard where tops are king-sized while bottoms have them small, if u get what u mean
YESSS, i've seen my friend's too, and it's not tiny!
The problem is it makes every single story feel like a soft version of torture porn. As someone who reads a ton of BL for more than the porn it definitely leaves a bad taste and usually makes it always feel non-con due to that.
Would they at least work their yaoi magic here and make the bottom not hurt from it, it would be fine.
Also makes an otherwise likeable top unlikable
ive always noticed steroid buff korean men are tiny… theyre NOT a good lay either stay away from them but the normal to fit ones are fine some have really big dicks
that's not a lightsaber that's a whole ass wall of light!
I like when they actually have a thought out explanation for why the FL is in this situation.
Too many stories just go "yeah she got reincarnated in a book just because" without expanding it any further. Too often is it just used as a cheap plot device to give the MC some advantage. They really turned the cliche into something interesting here.
I also grew to actually like some of the characters that wronged her before, because they got a good redemption arc. I always felt bad for Callis. Yeah he was dumb for never saying no to Lina, but he really never wanted to hurt Seria. And even Lina herself got some sort of redemption, because in the end she was just Rigel's puppet and she wasn't nearly as annoying as characters of her role usually are, imo.
I haven't even read it yet and I'm already pissed at the seme.
I kinda get the gist of what's going on, but I'm disappointed with how they decided to end the season.
From what I understood, uke has problems understanding people's thought process and feelings, he even literally told seme this. Instead of utilizing this to make the characters learn from each other and grow together, it really just seems to be there for causing drama.
Seme doesn't seem to even try to understand uke at the end. I understand why he's angry, and he's rightfully so, but if he truly loved him, he would've wanted to understand, no? You naturally calm down after a while and try to talk it out again after that. If not to mend the relationship, then at least to understand and find closure.
I find it so childish of adult characters always going to such extremes likes ghosting your LOVER for literal years over such, honestly, trivial things.
What does it matter now why he approached you? He's come to like you, and told you this. He has trouble with understanding people, and he told you this. But seme simply refuses to believe or understand him, calls him selfish when he isnt any better, but claims he likes him?
Uke isn't innocent either. I get he has trouble understanding feelings and all, but that doesn't stop him from speaking his thoughts. Had he told the seme what he told US through thought, a lot of this drama could've probably been avoided. Just communicate ffs
I honestly think this whole thing could've been better written from what I can judge so far.
Unintentional Love Story had basically the same situation, but the characters were so well written that it didn't make you mad at all. You could really understand both characters perfectly in that moment and just felt bad for both, and it got resolved perfectly, too.
I guess I kinda expected to see something similar here. Especially due to the high rating.
I'm gonna wait until the next season is further along, if they're gonna go with some shit like seme got himself a new lover in those 4 years I'm done with story before I even started it.
