i skipped a big bunch (jumped from ch. 11 to 42-45), just so i can know if this would prove to be worth my time of not reading another Stockholm syndrome. but boyyy

spoilers ahead based from what I've gathered in the comments

i was pissed off that they ended up together by ch 45 since i really appreciated of the genuine emotions MC displayed from chapters 1-11, he showed fear and realized the despair that his protag in his webcomic may have felt. i genuinely thought this would be a nice depiction of the terrors being locked against your will. i was about to drop it when i read the spoilers and I'm glad it's not going to that routeeee. kinda reminds me of My Deepest Secret

Spoilers hurt my soul so I can't get how people look for them so willingly (':
Said that, I hate most of bls because of how lightly they take serious real problems, and sexualize/romanticize them. I don't know how much of spoilers you've read so far but I guarantee you this is an absolute masterpiece. Sexual violence is not a thing here, and the psychological aspect is so well done, so delicate and complex at the same time, that you're side by side with the rollercoaster MC is going through. The ending is like nothing I've read so far. I think of this story all the time, so I absolutely recommend it<3 I hope you can read it chapter by chapter from.now on

I read it a while ago but I'm pretty sure they were both pretty much into it for a change. The story is so fucked up (and I loved it for that) and their mental health is as fucked up, but given the plot it could've turned really nasty in the worst possible way by using the usual rape tropes. And it hadn't. So no, I don't think sexual violence is a thing here

We already stated that this story is fucked up. And it doesn't include sexual violence. I don't know if you finished it, but both things can coexist.
I'm pretty sensitive with that topic and I don't think it's included here, and that's one of the reasons why this is my favorite psychological thriller. But it's okay if you think otherwise

haha, clingy af lovers are what I don't like irl and a sign of a red flag but gondamn was the seme cute here.
i think i teared up when he unexpectedly mentioned how people used to abuse him when he was younger. also, him saying "sorry for being a slut"???? It awakened sumn within me LOL
overall, i wish this story would flesh out more and i like the premise and characters surprisingly enough to make me want a longer story.
despite treating this story lightly as a quick read, i think jungwoo got serious issues that i felt like weren't just simply resolved or fully acknowledged properly before this story ended. Jungwoo is my fav, hella funny even, but he rlly is a bum, relying on his daddy's card and being a childish...a bit crazy in the head. I worry how he'll fare when he ends up having to support himself, not being able to rely on his family name anymore
i genuinely don't think their relationship will last long but hey, their love persevered and ig that's proof enough that they can overcome most obstacles in their relationship
oh, but seeing the side stories of the time skip, he doesn't seem to have a tendency to spend much anymore. well, no scenes of him being a spendthrift that is. i think he matured more, so ig that's a sign.
overall a good light read. don't treat it seriously much or else you'll get blood pressure. and jungwoo beating people up was hella fun^^
