After reading passion and cringing almost every chapter, I didn’t have much expectations...

Whats the main story?

It’s called passion

Why would you cringe at passion

Fr Idk I dropped it ... It was just not my cut of tea with the lot violence n stuff I can't but this my gawddd I'm just loving this so much

it rhymes with grape

Like the manhwa by Yuji/Havana?

For me, it's not just the excessive violence and assault. I just think the main pair lacks chemistry. The way they got together is forced, and the story tried to sell me as if the main character just tamed a mad dog, even though I'm just not convinced why the mad dog was tamed to begin with. On top of that, the side plot with the twin brother and whatever organization they were in was poorly written. It's like an attempt at world building, but it ended up being silly and unrealistic. I think Raga did much better at the taming the mad dog part, and the simpler plot helped to make the world feel more grounded.

Exactly like he got tamed just cos it was the plot nothing else it doesn't make any sense n them being even worse cos how u fall for some who forced n hurt u... Mc ain't dumb but he still he's together with such a person...

N also the fact that many fans would defend it is annoying t

Raga kinda has the same dynamic as Xinlu did start by hurting Yuri. However, Raga works because we are given reasons to Xinlu's madness, and Yuri's endless kindness and patience won Xinlu over. It feels like a natural progression.

In contrast, Ilay is a mad dog just because. He is portrayed as a psychopath but the author doesn't commit to it by making him fall for Taeui. Why did he even fall for Taeui? Who even knows. Taeui originally liked Xinlu, then somehow got entangled with Ilay. Honestly, Taeui affection towards Ilay felt like a mixture of stockholm syndrome and fear of not wanting to upset Ilay. It's hardly romantic. Maybe some people try to justify them because I heard they become cute later on in the novel. However, the way they get together is so questionable that I don't think the later scenes can salvage it. At least not for me. I enjoy enemies to lovers trope, but the original Passion is not it.
