pluviophiliac's manga / #depressing af(603)

fifty shades of grey? more like fifty shades of FUCKED UP. this might just be the most horrid thing i’ve ever read… and that says a lot. tf

OH. MY. GOD. the art looks so fucking exquisite, man… like, holy FUCK. (ↁ_ↁ) man, this dude’s hot. i’m be got absolutely no clue what to expect, either. whatever the case, i can already tell i’m going to be obsessing over it soon enough. <33

much, muuuuch better than i expected! especially the latter half of the story. i truly didn’t expect this to have such an endearing ending, though. what was a nice surprise! i’d say this whole ordeal’s been a mildly redeemable version of stockholm syndrome. what i usually consider the most when rating something is the final outcome—not necessarily the way we got there. (although that depends, too.) given that both FL and ML seemed pretty damn content by the time we reached the end of this story, i don’t feel like i need to criticize anyone’s choices anymore. even though the ML could’ve handled things MUCH better in the beginning, it’s not something we can change or just erase. what’s done is done. FL loves him and is happy with him. i see no indicators that ML will turn back on his behavior towards her now that she’s fully accepted him. he’ll most DEFINITELY treat her like a queen, lmao. anyway, i don’t want to romanticize coercion or manipulation. i just feel like that doesn’t have that much of an “affect” on the way she perceived him once she found out his identity. i throughly (and unexpectedly) enjoyed this manhwa—despite me only checking it out for the smut initially, lol. stayed for the plot development and emotional intrigue, though!!! (even if there weren’t a lot of either.) 7/10 for capturing my interest!

ughhhh, incredible writing. i’m way too tired to dive into all the reasons why, but just know that i’m wholly enthralled—enough to make me actually purchase the chapters on tappytoon!!! no regrets, though. like i said: amazing writing. <33

i believe this is available on webtoon. ^^
