It's cool to see vorarephilia depicted in a carnivore who isn't just a wolf, but also wants to be eaten by a herbivore. That alone already flips the script of what it's usually like in nature, and subverts the expectations of an anthropomorphic animal setting where you'd usually have a typical carnivore-hunts-herbivore food chain.
Another interesting aspect here is the showcase of trauma turned kink, I'm assuming as a coping mechanism. Trauma was rewired as desire to experience it again, maybe as a way of the brain to push for exposure as to overcome what's happened, but the brain overcorrected it straight into a fetish. I wish there was more gore tbh, it would've made it that more raw (lol) and sensual even. I can't lie, I also missed at least some smut, but the sexual tension from the kink alone was actually hotter than the usual fwop fwop you see in many manhwas.
Apart from that, it would've been nice to just learn a bit more about the herbivore as well. For example, why he tasted meat in the first place, why he felt desire to eat meat later on and even bit the professor while starved (apart from what he later identified as just falling for the professor), and how his desire to consume someone else came to be. It seemed like he was enjoying the position of the consuming sadist and that could've been explored more.
What's also intriguing is their seemingly 'doomed' relationship based on the ultimatum of the professor allowing his student to eat, and therefore kill him, at some point. That seems a bit complicated considering the student seemed like he was actually falling for him, and even confessed to the fact he just wanted to pretend to try to eat him and didn't even like his taste. His 'yes' to the professor's ask if he'd be up to eating him to death felt insincere given that information, or like he was making a promise he couldn't keep just to stay by the professor's side, knowing fully well he'd have to eat the one he developed feelings for later on. In this way, the herbivore is clinging onto someone who, from what he's saying, isn't even gay, and will probably die for his kink when he decides the time is right or when life just gets him in a suicidal enough mood. That's a tough dynamic for sure and its further exploration would've been fantastic to read about. Oh the angst we missed out on because this is way too short!!
