Webtoons out there. This was a re-read for me, but I think I loved it more the more I read it. The character development and writing are seamless, the sex scenes are hot, but they are also very poignant. You can see the changes in Eric/One and Shell each time they are together. The theme of "hiding who you are to survive" was repeated with every character throughout the story and that made the theme relatable. Regardless of why, we all hide something in order to be acceptable to others. This made the story not only entertaining, but, in its own way, insightful. In the end, I couldn't even hate a single antagonist - well, maybe Brutal because he killed his own daughter - because I could understand where their delusions came from. I'm not saying I liked them or that they were right for doing what they did, but I couldn't hate them either. Making a reader understand an antagonist as well as the protagonist is the mark of a talented storyteller. I hope to see more from this creator. They are off to an amazing start and will surely impress us all again in the future.
