this is so peak. was so fucking cool of a concept. loved the ending so bad.

i LOVE fucked up stories like this. genuinely so fuckin good. my all time favorite freaking ever holy

a very unique concept. i am glad rei was the host he was my fav

this is too shit stains that meet each other one should stain is really manipulative and hold power over the other shit stain and somehow the ending is happy?? I don’t know. I liked it a lot to be honest. xD

this is one of the best stories I’ve read in a while. I had no idea what was going on for like the first 30 chapters as you’re under the impression that the narrator is very unreliable which does happen to be the case. This story is all about perception and how the main character perceived various situations along with what it means to be a good person or a bad person. It talks about this idea that people are not inherently good or inherently bad bad people can be good to you. Good people can be bad to you. It’s all a matter of situation, this story was so lovely in the way that it was entertaining. I found myself very sad for the characters at various points because what they went through was just heartbreaking. I was very satisfied with a happy ending. I would’ve been very sad if they had an unhappy ending, but because they had a happy ending, it made me feel very fulfilled. The author totally could’ve made this ending sad it really did just come down to their individual preference, but I’m glad they decided to keep us happy and make us happy with the happy ending

this was an absolutely beautiful story about growth and recognizing that self-destruction is not a healthy coping mechanism. we follow the main character, who has very low self-esteem following many familial issues and grieving the loss of his younger brother. we ultimately see this character, for around 30 years, genuinely hate himself. we see his interaction with the male lead, who is interested in him from a young age and somewhat saves his life and changes his mentality about things. but the two of them drift apart because they’re young and they make mistakes. ultimately, they’re brought back together with the realization that the two have only ever really wanted each other and looked for the other person in every partner they had prior. with this amazing green-flag male lead, we see him push past the boundaries that the main character has and reach happiness with him by going past the safeguards he’s put up—safeguards that have only hurt him in the long run. this is an amazingly well-done story. the only reason that this isn’t in my “best ever” section is because it’s not that unique of a story, but i truly love it. it had amazing pacing, the art was beautiful, and i had no complaints—so i really do recommend this one. please do check it out.

this was so freaking good with amazing art and a happy ending. I loved this, and I loved that they were equally obsessed with each other the one being obsessed with the other for a really long time I love stories like that, and I like that they progressed as characters. I wish we did get to see more of them coming to terms with their own trauma, but it was still good nonetheless.

this is one of those stories that genuinely sticks with you. wow, we really get to see that the two characters in the story are genuinely some of the worst human beings that have ever existed. one is a genuine psychopath with murderous tendencies, and the other is a cheating, lying, homophobic bastard, and they are in a relationship. this dynamic, where the psychopath is obsessed with a cheater and it’s like a cat-and-mouse game, is so well done, and the ending is so perfectly ambiguous. what i really enjoy about the story is that neither is morally correct—some people think the psychopath is more morally correct, and others may think the cheater is more morally correct. i’m of the belief that the psychopath is more morally correct, even though he does murder the cheater multiple times. the reason why i think that is because the psychopath is genuinely a victim of grooming and a horrible upbringing, and the cheater grooms this guy and then abandons him in his every time of need. i’m of the belief that cheaters deserve to go to hell, and the psychopath just made it a one-way ticket. i loved how the ending was open and could’ve been interpreted in many ways. i interpreted it as them being stuck in this limbo after death. genuinely so fucking fantastic for such a short read—genuinely so well done, and the art is beautiful too. amazing.

this is one of the best psychological thriller stories i’ve read in a very, very long time. what makes it so special is the artist’s incredible way of storytelling. we watch the main character slowly spiral into madness — his train of thought becomes nearly nonsensical, yet we still get this unfiltered stream of consciousness that perfectly shows his deteriorating mental state. as a reader, you feel confused, but in a way that still lets you understand where he’s coming from. what i really love about this story is that both characters are insane — and insane for each other. usually in stories like this, one character is more unhinged than the other, but here, they’re equally crazy and completely embrace it. they are genuinely perfect for each other. the male lead’s shift in perception is one of my favorite parts. we watch him fall in love with the main character and become obsessed with having him. his love stems from the fact that the main character accepts him for exactly who he is — something he’s never had before. everyone in his life either died or was paid off to stay away from him, so the idea of someone literally stalking him feels ideal to him. their dynamic is fascinating. they match each other’s “freak” perfectly. when they first became intimate, the main character gave the male lead head and said it was fine if the male lead threw up on him. by the final episode, the roles reverse — now the male lead is the one doing it and saying it’s fine if the main character throws up on him. that reversal is made even better by the reveal that the main character has been faking memory loss to keep the male lead happy and close to him. so while it seems like the male lead has the main character in his grasp, it’s actually under false pretenses — the main character is in control in his own way. overall, this is such an insanely well-done psychological thriller. it’s dark, twisted, and has very adult themes, but everything is executed masterfully. huge props to the author — this was amazing.

100% just grooming. this is kinda insane
