i finished the novel and i’m PLEADINGG i hope the manhwa has longer side stories or something because the novel was too short for me. i was so sad when i finished all the side stories and there was nothing else to read.
i found it here~ https://www.foxaholic.com/novel/possessing-the-obsessive-maniacs-cotton-doll/
switch to the 18+ version of the site for extra spicy~~ side stories ^^
i can’t be the only one who feels terrible for the MC. he’s clearly struggling a lot with his mental health and suffers from hyper sexuality as a result to cope with his symptoms… sure you could say he’s spoilt because he’s never had to worry about bills or feeding himself but there’s no denying that even though he had everything he needed paid for and led a luxurious lifestyle, he was still emotionally neglected by his one and only parent. it’s clear that he’s felt unwanted ever since he was a child. i can’t imagine being 4 years old and watching other kids have their parents participate in class activities (e.g. bringing your parents to class to talk about their job) and seeing other kids happily spending time with their parents while you sit alone knowing that spending time with you publicly is the last thing your father would want to do. not to mention his father constantly insults him and treats him lesser than… calling him useless and a waste of space or other things similar. the MC grew up to be someone with no goals or commitment BECAUSE OF HIS DAD. his dad made him feel like he wasn’t worth taking up any space in this world, like his existence shouldn’t have been a thing in the first place. when you get treated as a burden all your life, naturally you will have no will to live. with no will to live, ambition dies as well. that is why the MC lives life so recklessly; sleeping around, squandering money on all sorts of things and indulging on all the superficial joys in life while completely neglecting nurturing his own mental health. from what we can see so far he has dreams, he has a love for art but he chooses not to pursue his dreams because he wants nothing more than to just disappear from the world. it breaks my heart seeing this and seeing how lonely the MC is while his father chooses to show more compassion and love to someone who isn’t even his blood (the ML). don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying he should’ve left the ML to drown in debt but i’m just saying that it’s so hypocritical of him to offer someone unrelated to him more grace than he’s ever given to HIS OWN CHILD. the ML tells the MC to be grateful and treat his dad well… while i can understand where he is coming from and that his intentions are good the MC isn’t obligated to be grateful. i wouldn’t want to be grateful to someone who’s treated me like an eyesore all my life. not being able to talk about your dad and having to pretend like he is non existent is such a huge burden to be placed on a CHILD. whatever bullshit sad tearjerking reason his dad has is NO EXCUSE to be emotionally neglecting your child and there is no excuse to push your own adult troubles onto your child and act shocked when their emotional growth is stunted causing him to act like a child when he’s already grown. does that mean that the MC is innocent and couldn’t do anything wrong? no. the MC himself acknowledges that he was wrong for taking his anger out at the ML too and takes accountability. the MC’s dad needs a rude wakeup call because his son turned out the way he did because of how he raised him. abandoning him in the countryside that he is unfamiliar with and leaving him to someone younger to “whip him in shape” is just the easy way out because it would be so much harder for him to just act like a goddamn father. to acknowledge the MC as his son and tell him that he loves him. i do think the getaway to the countryside away from the city life and his fwbs will serve the MC well mentally but honestly his dad’s purpose for doing so clearly wasn’t to help the MC mentally but just to “protect his reputation”.
EXACTLY, istg dude they better make the dad KNEEL, have his head smash into the ground like that one looney tunes austrich. He better pull up with a whole performance like those japanese professional stuntmen apologizers that breakdance into a Dogeza (look it up if you dont know, its worth it).
Even then, I'll be so mad if the dad gets away with it like all is well suddenly. It's too late, the damage is beyond done, so overcooked it's charred af.
From the moment his son was born he should've been like "either I retire or gotta come out with the baggage in tow", not sacrifice his son's well being and childhood for his own ego. And after all these years he still only thinks about controlling his own flesh and blood, when the real obstacle is his cowardice.










but i hate when homophobic parents start sobbing and shitting themselves like their world’s gonna fall apart when they find out their kid is gay. meanwhile their kid has to go through literal stages of grief before coming to terms with their sexuality and deal with prejudice and discrimination in the outside world. but instead of choosing to be a safe space for their kid they choose to hit them, verbally abuse them and kick them out like bitch!! YOU ARE NOT THE VICTIM!! your son isn’t a murder he just likes dick!! you’re crying about your reputation meanwhile your kid’s being denied opportunities, love and a normal life!! GROW UP AND GET SERIOUS!! you’re not the fking victim here!!
Ikr? My parents took my coming out more personally tha I thought but at least they didn't act like it was a problem, I feel like that reaction comes from people who see their children as part of them and not a whole different person
so real like homophobic parents are literally just bullies. and then if they ever want to have some sort of relationship w their kid again they're like "why don't you want to have a relationship w me I am ur mother/father? don't u see how hard this is for me?". like be so fucking fr what person would ever want any sort of relationship with someone who just straight up bullies u and belittles u for something u can't control. ugghhhh it just makes me so mad as a gay person myself bc IT IS LITERALLY NOT UR PROBLEM why TF do u care if ur child is gay, that does not affect you in any way.you are not the one that has to go through the trauma and grief that often comes with accepting your sexuality when you have homophobic parents, when your parents are the two people who are supposed to love and care for you more than anything. honestly to me homophobic parents don't really love their children. they may say they love their child, but only when they behave and act in a way that the parent deams as "okay". it's so clearly conditional love. like be fr if u really loved your own child like you say u do them that love should be unconditional. if it's not then I cannot say that u fully love your child. u are a selfish piece of shit and I hope u rot in hell (to parents like this). honestly op ur not being too serious this shit pisses me off sm too
Spoiler, way later Namu's brother slept with a man, so
