i just found out dear door ended in 2023, which surprised me, it's still always on the recommended page, so i thought it was ongoing. i had actually started it a couple of years ago but forgot most of it. picked it back up around chapter 70, and from there, the story came back to me. i’ve always really liked sid’s character, so i was more drawn in by the side plots.
i gotta say though, i usually enjoy sex scenes in stories but for some reason, the ones in dear door didn’t do anything for me. even with couples i loved, like sid and metatron, i felt nothing while reading their scenes. like, the art is definitely expressive and super explicit, and i can tell the author is doing something unique in the way they draw those moments but i was just observing lol.
also, i never really connected with cain and the mc’s relationship. it was interesting, and key to the story but they didn't move me? i was way more into the side characters and couples, sid/metatron and others really carried the emotional core of the story for me. even the friends unrequited love. honestly, i think that’s what made the story so good: for me, the center wasn’t even the main couple, it was the story itself. and that was really strong.

this kind of story really pisses me off. like, i can assume when i’m reading something toxic and fucked up, and sometimes that’s fine, it’s fiction, and people can explore dark themes. but what i hate is when the author can’t decide what kind of story they’re telling. like, are you trying to make the older character someone with morals and principles? or are you writing a toxic, messed-up relationship? because no adult with actual morals would ever get involved with a minor like that. if the character is supposed to be a decent person, they wouldnt do this lol it doesn’t make sense, you can’t have it both ways.
either commit to writing a dark, toxic story (and make it clear that it’s fiction and not okay in real life), or write a story where the characters are the same age or both adults. this weird in-between where the story tries to justify something clearly wrong just doesn’t work. it’s uncomfortable, and it honestly ruins the whole thing

I DIDNT EXPECT THIS AT ALL WHAT LMFAOOOOO at first i thought it was the poor uke in debt trope and then blonde guy is crazy and kindaps the dark kaired one ?? this is so fucked up but at the same time dark haired is really funny i really am laughing my ass off but still feeling the weird as fuck situation
i really liked the redhead’s story at first, but i’m not into love triangles tbh… and i hate reading how the persecutor is playing him, like he’s being fooled or manipulated. so for now, i think alejandro and taeseo are my favorite couple. plus, i feel like the author’s been hinting at taeseo getting pregnant since they first started hooking up, he’s always had that weird feeling in his stomach, and all the omega symptoms (like getting wet and all that) were def giving it away lol
No def!! The persecutor is old and dried up it cant be him
