madd's manga / #wtf(135)

So this comic had a rough start (because SA is a hard no-no), but the art was terrific, the characters' dynamic was interesting, and I was interested in both backstories. The underlying mystery of the cults and the mysterious deaths while the MC investigated. But then this devolved into pure p*rn with barely any plot, lmao. I love how someone coined the MC's character development as getting Kyungjooned. I completely forgot this man had a life outside of Cain and getting kidnapped and SA'ed by the entire cast constantly to the point it got super annoying. All the fights and the lore just became a mess, and then Kyungjoon dies, which infuriated me the first time I read this, but Ig, it's an okay move. I got sick and tired of Cain and Kyungjoon getting split up, too. It was fine the first time. We thought Cain was about to die, but Kyungjoon ended up barely saving him, so we had to wait for Cain to regain some of his power before he could return, so it felt good when they finally reunited. But then it kept on happening, and I just stopped caring. I couldn't care less about Sid. I know some people like him, but I don't personally. I'm sorry, but I don't like his romance with the villain (having them both reincarnated did not fix anything), and his random turn to help the mains, even though he'd been out to get them this entire time, was super weird. I'm glad Jinyoung had a happy ending with the doctor. He was done dirty throughout this whole thing. The relationship between Ben and the pervy angel is fine, and I got to appreciate it more in the side stories. But yeah, this turned into pure garbáge. The only good part past ch 50 - 60 is the side stories. I feel like the author wasted their world-building and some of the characters in favor of fanservice and more s*x stuff.

Bro I read this when I was like 11 or sumthin. I had no clue what was happening I don’t even know how I got through reading this lmao. I think my brain just completely erased it from my memory, all I remember is the beginning and end.

so um- What was that? Why is the therapist trying to see the MC's OCD (a severe mental illness/disability that caused him immense daily distress and possibly caused by some childhood trauma) as something hot or sexy so that he can 'warp' him to his desires by helping him? That's just so out of left field it caught me off-guard. I thought it was kinda weird and gave red flags when he said being entirely dependent was the same as love, which is just... no. It got even worse when he would force himself on the MC, even when he would clearly say no. But I didn't expect this. I usually can handle some weird, toxic stuff, but as someone with social anxiety, to see someone else take advantage of him just felt violative, and I couldn't even finish it. What's worse is that HE'S A DOCTOR WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DEDICATED TO HELPING PEOPLE LIKE HIM. HOW DOES HE EVEN HAVE A JOB? Honestly, I thought I was crazy for a second, thinking this was super weird, when I saw the other comments, 'Aw, this is so cute,' 'Aww, so gay,' 'This story's so good.' But this is just uncalled for. I'm sorry. It's already hard enough for people with mental issues to ask and trust people to help or to even admit they have a problem, to use them, us, as something to fetishize or use so that you can make them only rely on you to satisfy your ego or sadistic desires is just sick. I don't know why they thought this was a good idea. They had a great setup and ruined it for... what? Horny people who wanted them to go at it like bunnies already? You couldn't wait to do that, so you put it at the cost of the well-being of mentally challenged people? This isn't ok. This isn't how you deal with OCD, and I feel bad for the community that this even exists. I don't know how people can ignore that. I mean, I'm not going to tell others not to read this, but please take this into consideration when you read this.
