They're both morally gray, but the real question isn't whether they're gray—it's what shade of gray. And let's be honest... the bottom is waving a much bigger red flag.
The amount of manipulation, ego, and emotional damage in this story is INSANE.
But that's exactly why I couldn't stop reading.
The chemistry between them is intense, messy, frustrating, and somehow completely addictive. The misunderstandings only add more fuel to the fire, making every chapter feel like a ticking time bomb.
And after everything the bottom put the top through—all because of his pride—the top STILL refused to let him go.
At some point I just accepted that... these two are genuinely made for each other. Not because they're healthy. Not because they're relationship goals.
Because they're both equally unhinged, and I honestly don't think anyone else could survive dating either of them.
If you're tired of the usual sweet, predictable romances and want something darker with complicated characters, give this one a chance.
My biggest complaint is that I wish we'd explored the bottom's past in more depth. It felt like there was so much left unsaid, and I really wanted to understand him better.
Also, a huge shout-out to the translator. The novel side notes at the end of each chapter were AMAZING. They added extra context, explained certain scenes, and made the whole reading experience so much richer. I actually looked forward to reading those notes almost as much as the chapters themselves.
Before anyone picks a side... don't.
They're both toxic.

Messy. Toxic. Intense. Completely unforgettable.
I loved every chaotic second of it. ♡
