The author is very good at creating auras for certain scenes, especially that suspenseful or unsettling feeling which is not easy since most suspense movies use sound or music to help. Also, since this was created over the course of a year, you can really see the art improvement comparing the beginning and the end. Even though the middle felt a bit repetitive with the bullying scenes and slow development, overall it was good, and the characters in my opinion where written really well. I can see this becoming a movie or maybe a short drama.

was the author on acid while writing the story for this LMFAOOO

Yeah, i feel like the story has a lot of potential but it’s really complex. It seems good from as far as my confused brain can tell, but execution really is key. And in this case, the author seems to like “showing” rather than “telling” but for these types of stories you need both so the readers can at least get an idea of what’s going on

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN IS THE BLOND GUY'S NAME SIWOON (not to be confused with han siwon, who taemin the main character switched into) OR MIN WOOJIN PLS I'M HAVING A STROKE READING THIS WHY AM I SO BAD AT READING COMPREHENSION

nevermind. i wish comments could be deleted on mangago. pls ignore everything i have posted until now. this is very embarrassing. you've just witnessed me going thru a crisis. i haven't been in school for so long my brain rotted to the point where i have difficulty comprehending webtoons. pls erase it from your mind. thank you

contrary to a lot of readers' opinions, i don't mind the ending.
the timeskip itself was subject to a lot of criticism because it didn't showed the development. but the way i see it, it's kind of like saying how fast time flies. before you know it, everything you thought was so important to you in high school changes when you become an adult. your view changes, you meet and fall in love with different people.
people were mad that masumi ended up getting married to a guy, but she never explicitly stated that she was a lesbian. she just said she had a crush on futaba specifically, so maybe she was bi.
i also saw that people thought taichi shouldn't have ended up with touma. personally, i would have liked it either way. if they had just continued to be friends, it would show that it's ok to have a platonic relationship with people of a preferred sex, and that touma was able to move on from his feelings.
also, i wonder if an anime series has been considered for this. the pacing might be difficult.

I completely agree with you. Absolutely love the way taichi explain the timeskip briefly because i think it is the way he is and it's so beautiful. Indeed, after high school time do fly so fast sometimes you couldn't keep up. The way the both of them end up together and if they aren't is also a good thing. It is just, i think either way the relationship between them is so strong. Both of them wants to cherish each other. Friends or more than that. Ahhhhh this story is so beautiful

this would have been far better off stopping in season 1 as a short story. however, this is the creator's debut work, and i kind of understand wanting to continue the story and developing the characters more past that short story setting. however, season 2 strays much too afar from the original theme. season 1 was simple, yet tragic, a story person overcoming childhood trauma with the help of those around him. season 2 was like a weekend kdrama with the campus love triangle with obsession and jealousy. season 2 would have been pretty well written if it had not been attached to season 1- rather, if it was derived from a different origin story altogether.
Also, if anyone is looking for something similar, I recommend An Uncomfortable Truth. But in my opinion it's a lot darker than this.
omg i read that one a bit before reading this & they r both so twisted and unsettling ,,, i cant tell which is scarier
**spoiler warning***
Tbh I found an uncomfortable truth a lot more.. unsettling, mostly because of when the reader was shown the world from yeoseob's pov with the mangled looking faces. I found yeoseob's character a lot creepier than namsoo, because he just seems like he has zero emotion whatsoever while namsoo is more puppy like. Also because it's hinted that namsoo is able to overcome his mental illness, the story ends on a much lighter and more positive note than an uncomfortable truth which honestly just left me with heart wrenching PAIN and then emptiness LOL
I was reading both at the same time
