I really liked the premise of this story, which is why I started reading it. It really overpromised and delivered extremely lackluster and mediocre storytelling.

It was very robotic in nature: first there was this guy who played games, and he fell in love with his teammate from the game, and then there was also a dom/sub thing going on which wasn't really explored properly, and some very glossed over traumatic backstory of the previous job. AND for shits and giggles let's just have him find out that the teammate was his boss all along after almost getting raped and not even address that.

There just was too much explored in less than 6 chapters that it was all crammed into very few pages, to get on with the next thing they want to cram into the story.
Also, problems were never REALLY resolved, just kind of "fixed" in one or two lines.

There are so many great mangas and mangakas who do BL but they write a solid story and explore themes by fleshing them out and ensuring that every issue/problem they introduce into the story is well resolved or create an open-ending that is satisfactory for the audience to interpret.

It looks like the author doesn't have other titles under their name so maybe they're just learning. Hopefully, they get better.

No sane person would like this pos trash. Yes, we all agree.

BUT Kim Dan has been through it. He has been negged and treated like shit for literally ever. Abused, bullied, neglected, lonely, assaulted, dirt poor, no good job. And the only person who he knows is in the hospital dying. NOTHING was good about his life. It makes sense that Dan would mistake this as falling in love with the slightest decent nice gesture done towards him, by someone who he's been very vulnerable and intimate with.

I'm not saying this is the author's intent, but I hope that's the route they take. POS will get a redemption arc BUT, I hope that Dan realizes he wasn't in love in the first place, he is just experiencing some kind of stockholm syndrome or attachment disorder. Anyways I'm not sure how long this manhwa will be, but I hope it's long enough that Kim Dan goes through some character development.

Having seen how our dong-gyun grew as a character to respect himself and cut-off Jiwon until Jiwon proved he was worthy...I am holding out hope

Jiwon was shitty but gd jaekyung is on another level.
