What the fuck?? What the actual fucking fuck?? What a shitty, rushed ending. It's called "Darkness Before the Dawn," that implies a happy ending. So what the actual fuck?!
Goddamn, I've never been this pissed after reading a story in my entire life. If I knew it was going to end like this I wouldn't have bothered reading it to begin with.
Seriously, what the actual fuck?
Maybe the epilogue will retcon this entire last chapter. That'd be nice. Fuck, it should've just ended at chapter 74 and kept it open ended. I would have preferred that over (SPOILER) two lines of text that amounts to "they both died in different countries, the end."
Several days? He let that dude fuck Cho-Ah for several days?? That's at least 3 days of Mujin doing absolutely nothing while the guy he supposedly loves is getting wrecked in ths next room. What happened to the badass psycho killer who would murder if someone so much as looked at Cho-Ah the wrong way? Like, I get that he's shocked and going through shit, but holy fuck, he's had plenty of time to snap out of it!
Cute story. I really liked the way the uke was drawn, so that's why I started reading it. The translation has its issues though. I think it really would have benefited from a proof reader. But despite that, it was still readable. I just had to fix some things in my head while I was reading so the dialog didn't sound so unnatural.
I don't mind the rape trope in bl. I like a little noncon in my fiction. But at a certain point even I was like, dude... stop getting raped. Throw a punch or something! For fucks sake!
(SPOILER)
Also, the protagonist doesn't end up with Kang Dong Hyuk. He stays with his rapist. There, now you don't have to read it and I just saved hours of your life. You're welcome.
The art is beautiful. That said, Idk if it was machine translated or if it's just poorly written (or maybe a little of both), but holy fuck. Never have I seen an official translation THIS bad. I checked out the fan translation to see if it's any better. It's not. In fact it's worse. It's a shame to, because it seems like it would be a great read if more care went into the translation (or possibly the writing, as I'm not sure what the issue is here). I just finished chapter 7 and suddenly they switched from calling the protagonist "her" to him, with no buildup or leading into anything. I still don't know if it's a translation issue or what. Apparently the two characters have had sex, but I'm still confused as to whether or not the love interest knows the main character is a man. Because there was no dramatic reveal, so if he found out about it, it was something he learned off screen, and it was never mentioned again.
hi!
this might not be 100% accurate
but in Chinese her and him both sound the same, they just have different spellings.
possibly spoilers?
the main lead knew the mc was a man since the first night but just said nothing about it and played along whereas the mc believed ml didn't know.
I believe there is a dramatic reveal later on but it wasn't that big of a deal since ml knew all along lol
side note is that I do agree the writing/translation is a bit disappointing :(

Too many chapters about Dojun and Jinyoung. Main couple is way more interesting.
