Hate List ~~~*

Honestly this has to be the most boring fucking story ever
MC has no personality and just simps the entire time, plus the weird incest vibes? all the characters are unlikeable and STUPID
i hate everything about this why is it rated so high
also the art is super mediocre and repetitive

look i get it. it's hot, the art is nice, lots of kink, you know the drill
but like the whole relationship was so fucking toxic i could not
i'm fine with stories that have bad vibes or questionable dynamics as long as they're obvious and deliberate, but this? this seems like gaslighting 101 and emotional abuse with no payoff for the reader. i was literally cheering donggyun leaving him and i wish the whole thing had just ended there
the whole story is just yikes

THIS IS SO FUCKING STUPID SKSKSKS
literally just an excuse for smut x 40 chapters
literally if you are incapable of even basic communication MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST NOT DATE
made me inexplicably angry, the story felt like pulling teeth and goes nowhere. don't waste your time unless you *want* to read mediocre smut

specifically on here for the art
HOW IS IT SO UGLY LMFAOOOO
the story was so-so but i dropped it like 20 chapters in because i could not stand the art anymore

wow the mc is TRASH
the dynamics are super toxic and i honestly just felt bad for chulsoo the entire time, the rest of the male leads are boring
femdom can be superrr fun but this was actually depressing

ok i might remove this if i get further than the SECOND CHAPTER LOL

i decided to read this off a list specifically for strong female leads and like ... sure... she's strong. but the way women are treated in this world is like super fucking gross and reminds me of ichi the killer way too much
also i decided to try reading this while getting a tattoo and WOW THAT WAS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONES EYES OMFG steve if you're reading this i'm sorry

so i specifically tried to read this because its the author of roses and champagne, which is great

my GOODNESS
for one wtf is going on with the translations?? they are incomprehensible lmao. for two toxic much?? for three the characters look identical and i don't know what's going on
maybe this could be slightly enjoyable if the translations were better but currently, avoid lol

dropped at ch20

The vibes are bad, its just not a fun story. I am all for a good story of two fucked up people manipulating each other and that can be really fun, but I do think they need to at least enjoy doing that to each other. they just seem to actually hate each other?? I genuinely tried to enjoy this because the reviews were so high but it felt like such a slog. i had to start taking breaks between chapters

blurgh

this one was real big on webtoon and my friend recommended it

it is just fucking depressing
the main character is just continuously put through worse and worse things to further the plot, the villains are hilariously one dimensional and boring, and no one in this story has like any morals worth a damn (minus the mc, who is just Suffering). Her love interests also don't stand up for her, so I hated them and couldn't even get into the romance plot at all.
why do people like this ??

i totally thought i would like this one, to be honest

I really enjoy stories with ambivalent / morally neutral characters and I love a good psychological horror
but for some reason this just absolutely didn't click with me and it made me feel kind of depressed and blegh more than anything else
i don't think its objectively bad but it was not my thing AT ALL
also UGH THE CANE SCENE :((( IT WAS SO SAD
