No seriously but its sad to see the author only promote Missing love which imo has weak writing overall
That's too bad. I guess because the art and narrative style is more generic and thus an easier sell. That'd be my guess, anyway. Personally, I didn't dislike Missing Love, but I much prefer this story.
weak writing is wild I think missing love has the best writing of all to describe the type of psychological mindset and emotional energy to make a story like that. I particularly like this kind of discourse I encourage you to write back Id like to know your perspective
i agree with you. ML has masterful writing. While I love Ennui and believe it deserves much more recognition, comparing the two, ML is arguably harder to write and execute. Ennui evokes more raw feelings because TH’s struggles—like workload stress, an abusive household, and discrimination—are issues that many readers can personally relate to including me.On the other hand, Geom’s situation in ML involves extreme trauma like human trafficking and political corruption ( you need to have a great insight to get it). Since most readers thankfully haven't experienced such unfortunate events, they fail to resonate with his plight. Consequently, they miss the crucial psychological depth of the story and pass it off as mere fetishism.
I find Ennui more emotional drain and ML more on social satire both reflect society but ML have broader range
I see. Amazing paragraph and I humbly acknowledge your point. To be fair, I blurted out ML to be a transparent fetishization to some extent in the story but what you say is very true. For the most part I struggle to understand the process the author took in writing ML. Most authors can make an impacting story but they can still have hidden bad intentions which is why Im a bit skeptical about it. Though if I were to get rid of the author, I truly would side with ML fully. Currently, I am siding with ML bit by bit as it was impactful and I shouldn’t have been so harsh on dissing it.
Deadass the story started to get boring with all the rape and barly any plot like that story is to overhyped
I can understand why this story doesn't have mass appeal. The first few chapters can be difficult to get into with all the office talk, and the narrative is more an exploration of a toxic, codependent relationship between two damaged people with major abandonment issues than a typical romance, but damn if I didn't find it deeply emotionally affecting. It was so satisfying to watch Dan find his inner strength and self-worth. He doesn't end the story healed mentally or physically, but finding his own peace, acceptance, and personal fulfillment within the framework of the poor hand he's been dealt feels so much more realistic and impactful than some kind of tacked on fix-it conclusion. I appreciated the art style, too. It feels more dynamic and emotive than the typical webtoon style and fits the mood of the story better for that reason. I get why this won't be others cup of tea, but it works for me. This story will stick with me for a long time.
