this story really made me cry a lot bc i can relate to both characters on a personal/emotional level. i may not have had the exact same experiences but its similar enough to a point where it makes me think of my own growing up and the mentality i had for a long time. they both mean so much to me and im glad to have found another story with characters i see a lot of myself in. (the first story i really felt connected to both characters in on a personal level is hidamari ga kikoeru. it deals with struggles w alienation from having a disability and finding your purpose in life)
This story has definitely made me think deeply about it my personal relationship and how I can affect people unconsciously. I really want to become more mentally stable and I try to remember that people do care. It’s hard to get out of my own head because I’m also on only child like Jinhyeong lol. Us only children are always a little lost in our own thoughts
i was only an only child til i was 6 lol. now i have two siblings whom i hardly speak with...
i think this story definitely helped me become slightly more self aware and learn how to slow my brain down in times of intense stress. something about seeing myself in a fictional character really motivates me to try and be like them. its always so much easier to read about others reflecting on themselves than to do it yourself but when its someone you can relate to on a personal level its almost like a blueprint lol
its definitely a naive mindset but ill take whatever works and it has been helping so far.
My mother is similar to Woo Jinpil in the way she raised me (and abuses me, but she also escalates it to physical abuse). It’s honestly scary how alike Jinhyeong and I are. I had to stop reading when I first picked up this manwha because it made me uneasy how similar my circumstances are. My parents even tried to get my bf to break up me with me lol. Unfortunately I did have to move back home and I have begun to wear my bf down with my issues. Oh well at least I have yaoi (●'◡'●)ﾉ
