This is crazy but it gets so insanely better in the second season. Like character development, backstory, everything. I agree w/you, idk why author decided to start the story in that way… but give it a shot!
do you promise
PROMISE PROMISE OMG YOULL STILL BE PISSED OFF BUT ITS PEAK
It surprisingly got a lot better in Season 2 as the other user said. The first season was generic and didn't show anything special, but now it's really giving the feels.
I actually think this story deserves higher score than 9.2, especially compared to a lot of other webtoon that is rated higher than this. It is well written, and everything happened for a reason. I suspect the first season turned off so many people, which would explain why it doesn't get higher ratings. It's difficult to recommend because it started off very unhealthy and the characters were unlikable, but once we got to learn more about them, suddenly everything clicked. If you like angsty, melancholic with a lot of yearning type of romance, this is a good read.
calling yeongwoon a pushover is crazy when his position in society made it difficult for him to work and even live properly. When the only person who gave him salvation forced his way back into his life, he wanted to give back and help him and even *selfishly* want him as he says. And calling the ML nasty.. like hello.. he is just mentally ill.. literally traumatised child, who’s been treated like shit his whole life by his ‘family’ and even with his brother dead, he still isn’t in control of his life and the only way he can is through having sex like that.. quite literally a trauma response. He also takes into account his behaviour and his toxicity throughout the manhwa.. not every character is going to start off being an amazing, perfect one.
I agreeee
let’s make one thing clear lmao mental illness doesn’t excuse shitty behavior and by where I read all that backstory hasn’t been explored so as far as I’m concerned the mc is sacrificing his comfort for the sake of some else and that other person is toxic, hence those are characterizations that I stand by to describe their dynamic in the first 20ish chapters. my question wasnt rhetorical I was da asking how people enjoy this bc if that was going to remain the dynamic I’d gladly move on but if they grow out of it and the story gets better id power thru. not every character starts off amazing and shouldn’t but if there isn’t development and context, then a story falls flat and that precisely why I wanted to know if something changes
i do!! it seems lyke a lot of people are saying sum similar to you so I may try to continue if you think its well written
doesn’t excuse it, of course, but definitely explains it
thats so fair i was so disgusted with the unnecessary sexual violence. i was like really had to asses what i was reading and was disappointed that a story w sm potential was one i was thinking about dropping.
i did keep reading after a while of dropping it; s2 is way better. doesnt make it okay but the storys really enjoyable if u can look past that part
wait I’m so sorry I got up to ch 22 how the hell do people like this the mc is biggest pushover and ml is so nasty n weird reading this is genuine rage bait I genuinely don’t get it
