I must have reading comprehension skills? The blacked haired had a friend with benefits? And then fell in love and when they left lost the ability to create his artwork?? The Grey hair ml same situation? And they are friends with benefits somehow now?? Like what?? So lost
Jinwoo was in love with minjae but was afraid of being it serious lest it breaks his heart later so he created a loophole by saying they're fwb but regretted it later on because minjae needed clarity and was asking for it but jinwoo didn't say what he wanted to hear. After they broke up or lost connection (you habe to read the first comic for this) jinwoo lost his creativity and got into a creative block. And colty is in love with dylan because of his past. His dad blamed him for his mother's death and there was no one by his side so the only one satisfied his need for connection at the time was dylan so naturally it wasn't a good start for his understanding of love. Dylan also manipulated colty to keep seeing him and not lose connection with the dad. A dimwit honestly. Jinwoo and colty relationship did start with a contract, being play partners ( bdsm plays) as mentioned by colty so it's exactly a fwb and it continues to stay that way until colty realize he's starting to like jinwoo and same for jinwoo.
Both are alpha but jinwoo is a recessive alpha and colty is a dominant one. Jinwoo inherited recessive trait from his mother and colty inherited dominant trait either from his father or mother. Recessive alpha's are less controlling and have weaker scents compared to standard alpha but they are just as dominant as standard alpha. Dominant one are who are dominant, have stronger pheromones compared to recessive one's.
Not sure what is going on in the comments. I dated a guy who had anti-social personality. He was exactly like this ml, once you know how to think with their logic, they can be quite predictable. Honestly, if I didn't need to ask to be truly loved, in terms of how he treated me and all. It was all very logical, communication was essential and outward appearance wise we were happy. The only times we fought is when he couldn't realize his true desires or emotions and used bad logic to try and convince me of his bs.... Compared to misogynistic men who objectify and belittle women, the anti-social for me is frankly easier to deal with.
There was actually no "deep dive" into the mental illness. It was just there to kind of justify ml's assholery. Which is ok. I don't think anyone comes here expecting genius.
I also noticed that comments don't usually criticise the use of sensitive topics, but rather how they are portrayed. Let me tell you something, the majority of manhwa authors feed us romanticised rape, domestic violence, etc. (Ouroboros handled it pretty well, worth checking) and the romanticisation and overuse of such themes normalises them in real life, especially among teenagers and young adults. We all know that readers' age sometimes goes as low as 10.











I kinda like prince jacob. He is evil, cunning, ambitious and smart. I feel like second time around, the main leads will definitely crush him but that is so predictable. Having lots of sympathy, because he was an abused/neglected child and it was his mom that was a shitty person. Our female lead literally had a better life than him with more love but because she had a shitty end, she got a do over? I dunno I would be more interested if the do over was from the evil prince point of view.
The deity said in that chp in which bianca died during childbirth that for the best future her child has to be born bcz in her previous life she died without one... they bring her back for the sole purpose of her having a child and as soon as she had one she died and the deity told her that she fulfilled her purpose for the best future according to him, so them bringing solely bianca and not jacob back was bcz with jacob it was not the best future and i think even if jacob would've return he would've done the same thing again since he succeeded in the previous life anyway....but i get where you are coming from idk about other ppl but i do think jacob was more a circumstantial villain maybe if his childhood was not like it ended up being, maybe he would've come out differently...it was bittersweet when he died but I'm not saying what he did is ok though
