Alright, my initial reaction to this story was completely different from how I felt after finishing it. At first, I thought it would be a refreshing, lighthearted high school enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story, but it turned out to be much more than that.
Trigger warning: This story contains bullying, abuse, non-consensual situations, toxic relationships, and trauma.
Every character carries their own pain and emotional baggage. I expected the story to focus mainly on the main couple, but I was surprised by how many side characters had their own compelling storylines. Their experiences made the story grow darker with each chapter, adding more depth to the overall narrative. I wouldn't consider this a comfort read, but I would like to give compliments to the author for portraying the persistent and serious issues that exist in our society. The way these themes were handled gave the story a lot of emotional weight.
That said, I do feel disappointed with the ending. It honestly didn't sit well with me because there were still several unresolved matters that were never properly addressed, especially the relationship between Heeno and Aerak and Dunno and Kang. Their storyline felt incomplete, and I wish the author had given it a more satisfying conclusion.
