Not the cult’s playbook munching on Jim Jones nachos (Using progressivism in the cult’s religious doctrine to attract younger especially disenfranchised people…similar to how Jim Jones of the Peoples Temple/Jonestown used his sermons and preachings to attract and appeal to black people in racially segregated America by using a doctrine of racial egalitarianism and liberation during the civil rights movement…mmmhhh… in this story’s case…you see how Hyeondo, a young queer man even goes…wait this is kind of decent, woke preaching…That’s How You Get Roped In My Friend)
Butt ass naked seme but wearing calf socks…I’m so pissed TAKE OFF THE SOCKS Do not appropriate Uke Culture.
their culture is not his costume
Back here from reading the novel. Be prepared for the most harrowing, grotesque, blood-curling experience. This story dog walks your idea of a “toxic” yaoi. But it’s incredibly well-written. The male lead (Taeon) is a literal monster.Irredeemably cruel and nasty. He is violently sadistic and doesn’t hesitate to use and discard people to achieve his goal. Seonwoo, has a tenacity I honestly admire.Even in the face of all the suffering, he never really gives up. All he wants to is dance.
This isn’t your average scum seme turns sympathetic and apologizes to Uke and Uke forgives him type of story. Don’t think it’ll take a romantic turn because it doesn’t.
do they end up together at the end?
UHHHH Good Question…Not really? Depends on what you consider a happy ending…Just don’t expect traditional romance. It’s not your average “scum seme gets redeemed and pitiful Uke accepts because he actually does #lovehim and they cry and hug and kiss”. I recommend reading the reviews of the novelupdates page of the novel. There are more comprehensive than my comment and delve deeper into the story’s conclusion.
Also, they don’t but they do. Together by choice? Or by psychologically exhausting circumstances? Yeah kinda. Plus there’s a sequel.
tyyyy
Love me a good mortality gap in the gay fantastical relationship.
I love how the story portrays schizo-paranoia. Constantly questioning his own reality and having information from other people (some with malicious intent) fuel his uncertainty about his mental state as well as past and present events. The fact that he’s still able to trust Ishmion during such a circumstance is amazing imo.
Not so fun fact : it gets worse ... Sylhan hallucination and seizures will get worse but he will get better but it will take a LONG time...
Wait that’s horrible CANT WAIT TO SEE IT
Ngl I thought Miria and Rider were giving parental coworkers…friends whose shared interest is a human child…than potential lovers but I don’t mind t4t baiting like what the hell sure I’ll eat it up enthusiastically I guess.
Also love how the artist draws kids. Very adorable.
Wallahi that is the first Geumryang has smiled in this entire manhwa.
