I don't think everything was a dream, the events that happened to the two of them were real and their meeting again and healing together was real, the only thing that wasn't real was hallucinations of the boy (himself, the hurting younger version that was trying to tell him to let go of the burden his parents left him with). His PTSD had manifested so hard that the tragedies around him, which may have been really unfortunate coincidences, fueled his fear of his writing being like a sign to die (kinda like the Death Note, obviously), the only other thing that wasn't real around here was that his writing affected real life, it never did, but his guilt of his parents' death and the burden put on him to carry their, or in his mother's selfish wish, his father's burden within writing, made him develop anxiety and the accident only furthered it sending his fear into a spiral.
The part that was a dream in the latest chapter was him seeing the boy after finding the lost book his father wrote, when he finds it, it's implied by the ending sequence that he sat down to read it, drifted off and dreamt that he saw the boy again after he'd fulfilled the boy's wish to let go and heal and finally acknowledged him in a soothing way, as in a way of self acceptance, rather than waving him off and subsequently waving off his past and suppressing the hurt it left him with. He hugs him, finally healing a part of himself and saying "Welcome Home" as a way to welcome the part of himself he locked away to try and move on. He wakes up happy, saying what a beautiful dream it was because he finally felt like himself, and he was content.
You're gonna make me cry all over again. Chapter 8 was just a buffet of emotions. （/TДT)/ I never thought I would read something like this again that would make me feel in awe from how beautiful it was written! Why do psychological ones do that!!? This is officially my favorite psych Manga!
If you love this story, I suggest to read Murderer Llewellyn's Enchanted Dinner Invitation. Gah! My favorite psych manhwa!
The seme...sucks. I read this before and rereading it was rough. By the time I'm on chapter 2, its unbearable due to the amount of manipulation and taking advantage of this dude is doing. Push and pull tsundere types have really always been a sore spot for me because it allows for "hard to get" plots where the pursuer's actions are brushed over because the the person being pursued will "give in" and like it. All while ignoring how most times, its pushing boundaries and not actually getting consent :/ as usual.
A comment below me explained way better all of the issues but like, ain't no one gonna read it cause let's be honest, I know most of ya'll don't care about what I'm blabbing abt rn
I wanna go back to who I was about an hour and a half ago before I read this.
Don't be weird about teens having sex, I'm getting second hand embarrassment from some of y'all screaming for them to bang
Theyre probably teens themselves but yes i need to avoid the comments cuz oooof like yikes
Yeah, I assumed most were, which is the more unfortunate part ;;
Its time for a very long break. I'm slightly knowing of where this going but the frustration of miscommunication strikes again and I'm trying not to have to drop ANOTHER story cause of non-con, they better fix that shit QUICK. I know most have lost hope but I think I need to wait and binge a good chunk of chapters, hopefully.
I started reading this as a joke cause I knew they were gonna be freaks but now I'm invested so I gotta stick it out.
these side stories are healing all the main story gripes I had PLUS my gripes with most omegaverse stories, I've never been so serotonin filled by updates that are just slice of life and going through the home life of the couple after they have kids its genuinely such a calming feeling
