Actually this is one where the chasing, yearning and repentance arc is very long and you have so many internal monologues of the ml, to the point where he might be the mc. Infact we get very less internal thoughts of mc. But despite the hard reads with the grape at first, it gets really better. And as a reader who read it when it was releasing weekly, this was a slow burn for me. But in the end, it was worth reading because not in a lot of manhwas we see the ML repenting so much and actually understand the weight of his actions. He actually understands that what he did was detestable and he doesn't deserve the mc love.
I actually finished not too long ago! And yeah, im glad it went somewhere I didnt expect. I just really keep my expectations low on BLs so that I can be pleasantly surprised instead of disappointed lol. Hence my predictions (that are very much based on real BLs lmao). By the end i was like I would die for mokhwa actually, and would kill nakwon for him lmao.
One thing I wouldve wanted tho was a backstory on mokhwa and his supposed boss. Like the beginning chapters felt like they were setting it up, but I was kinda bummed they never brought it up again. Or whatever happened to him after escaping.
- 98-chapter torture arc (opening with SA already)
- 2-chapter regret arc (Bonus points if ML just realizes stuff and cries)
- there will never actually be any professional punishment for the ML and will even get promoted
- I might cry for Mokhwa at some point
Let's see lmao
