Read the most unhinged shit but this guy scares me, his eyes and mannerisms feel like someone is faking their humanity. Also, i wonder if the uke is supposed to be the devil, since the farm is like Eden and Dennis had the innocence of Adam/Eve

I think the story would've been more meaningful if the author explored jihyuk's abandonment issues and having him go down a path where he chooses himself instead of a toxic relationship
Literally this
But the author is doing exactly that. Why do you think Jihyuk jumped to another relationship right away? Even if he doesn't have as strong feelings for Eunsong he wanted to feel chosen and someone to fight for him since his parents death.
This clearly is not the right way to deal with his issues but that's what I like about this author. This is the story of broken people dealing with trauma and how even if you're a victim, you can damage other with your actions. Jihyuk feels he doesn't deserve to be loved even if he desperately needs it, Eunsong because of society expectations has to be ruthless if he wants something even if he hurts the ones he loves through his means, Yoojun never knew what it meant to be loved so when he experienced just one (1) positive relationship (Eunsong) he disregarded everything even his own feelings. You can even talk about Jihyuks brother and how his own feelings of helplessness destroyed his relationship with his brother even if he tries to fix things.
I think that the path of Jihyuk choosing himself would be the best, but, do we humans always choose what's the best for us? Or what's the less painful thing?
I like your analysis but in order for me to be fully content with it, I NEED the ending to point towards Jihyuk choosing himself. So many stories though have the ending where the main character chooses to stay with love interest because they feel more comfort despite their wrongdoings, and while I do think it can still work as an ending, I feel like for this story it would turn out more sugarcoated rather than obviously psychological (and I really don’t think the author is going for this dark angle lol)
An ending where Jihyuk chooses himself would be so perfect because you generally don’t see that in “romance” stories. It’s the best, meaningful ending, but not for a couple, but for Jihyuk.
I don't get why authors don't explore toxic behavior without romanticizing r*pe. I really like the art but wth? Why are all yaois like this? I
i remember hate mate being one of the first manhwas i read in 2017 and i remember how i loved the angst and how unrequited love was portrayed. That at the end even if Subin didn't get with his first love , he learned from that experience and moved on. When i saw that this was updated, i was skeptical. I feared that all of Subin's character development would be in vain and that he will eventually get back with his first love. But this is not about getting with an old love, this is about maintaining a relationship and trying to grow up within it as well as reshaping it because a 5years long rs is what people call the boring stage.You already know everything abt each other from habits to pet peeves so all what's left is to learn how to live together and keep nourishing the rs with communication. I also love how well written this is , when it's Jun's pov i'm mostly on his side until his friend points out his shortcomings.
Really hope someone picks thim up
