Every character was written exceptionally well, and frustrating within good reason. Raymond especially, as I could never bring myself to totally hate him. The guy was fueled by the sole purpose of achieving a goal for the past 20 years, so it makes perfect sense that when his love for Ian and that said goal conflicted, there came the major dilemma of having to sacrifice either that said goal, or Ian. It was essentially Raymond needing to set aside his life-long purpose and essentially reason to live for a gamble at new beginnings. This story conveys it perfectly and realistically. If I were in his position, I’d probably feel the exact same way, as frustrating as it was to see this from an omniscient lens.
Ian is also another character that, despite me typically disliking character of his personality, I thoroughly enjoyed. The clinginess to Raymond, his trauma response, him being his own mental captor at times when it came to Raymond, his will despite everything. It is probably one of the most realistically conveyed portrayals of the lingering affects of a SA + Abuse victim and PTSD that I’ve seen in a BL webtoon.
Kaya and Nicolas are characters who I also have come to enjoy greatly, and easily took the spot as my favorites.
