Any novel readers spoil specifically what’s going on with Minjae? I alr know Minjae is doing the whole manipulative “keep Heechan in my life” good luck charm shit but can anyone specifically explain whats going on with those guys and that money business?
I also wonder what specifically Minjae is alluding to when he mentions “that wouldnt work on you” — maybe setting up orange hair’s run-in with the bullies, or even bribing the other worker to call & tempt Heechan into quitting his job out of shame? My media literacy is goijgndoooown
MC is in an extremely delicate situation and chooses to get all comfy in the lap of ML’s brother. Holy stupid. I don’t blame him for def being at least a little attracted to ML’s brother but come on Bru this not a safe place where you can freely explore ur sexuality. Yk damn well you can’t get away with shit like this.
Id love to see him piece together what ML does based on his actions too. Like “hmmm it’s interesting how shit was all good wirh us but as soon as I get into ML’s bro’s lap, the next time I see ML he’s telling me my daughter died. Hm…”
Things would be better if we built up the reveal that ML screwed MC over with pheromones. IMO this series has the vibe that it’s going to be short (<50 chapters) but regardless, if author stayed in line with the promo and lured us into thinking ML & MC are super sweet & happy, it would have made the reveal & MC’s assholeishness to the ML much less controversial. Like in other manhwa w “groveling arc”s — this is technically ML’s, it’s just so unsatisfying because we’re <10 chapters in.
It doesn’t feel great reading this now because it’s not like we’ve earned it, going so early into punishment—kind of a less hardcore version of Reverse Thinking, where we also know MC “deserves” his abuse from ML yet we don’t feel it given the abuse jumps straight in.
Obv ML is a piece of shit morally but hear me out, MC is rly difficult to like himself. Not even from a victim perspective with ML, but just as a person. No hate fr but Author gives him 0 scenes outside of romantic/sexual scenarios and “i hate u su-ah but I need ur cum!!!” so if I had to describe him, it would be a gruff unmannered asshole who only cares about his sport (re: Ch9). Thats probably why so many people are defending ML, because he’s in the opposite situation (horrible morals, sweet on paper).
Holding out hope tho. We in ts together yal I’m waiting for a Never Understand level masterpiece
I get people want MC to submit already so they can goon to the sex scenes, like y’all missed some of the story hints in the first few chapters because of the horniness . Some y’all hate that he has boundaries and priorities outside of the ML.
MC is a determined and hardworking, he doesn’t want his second gender getting in the way of his passion, even to his own detriment . He’s only an asshole to Su-Ah, who absolutely deserves the spite he’s getting. So nah, he is not at the bottom of the barrel, there’s other uke’s that deserve to stay in that pit.
What I’m trying to get at is that MC’s dimensions are poorly represented given the author’s focus on Gooner slop and lack of development on everything else but the su-ah MC dynamic. I said re: Ch9 because he doesn’t seem to have a stellar relationship with the only other fleshed out characters so far (bumbles into the lunch between the two guys, doesn’t recognize how his friend is clearly upset about his Hyung). While I totally agree he’s supposed to be a hardworking, dedicated individual to his sport, it’s primarily subtext. All of his inner monologue is about Su-ah and I need his cum to do well!!! — but why is he so intent on doing well? What drives him? There’s 0 dimension to him.
Tbf there’s only been 9 chapters, but the author already seems to think making a complex, morally gray scenario the MC and ML react to excuses a lack of personality behind ML. That’s why I see MC as the opposite—while a total POS, his motives are clearly defined, and has a clear personality (manipulative, self-serving as it is)
Like you said, there’s only 9 chapters, if we were like 20 chapters in you would have a solid point on a-lot of your complaints. The only piece of trash here is the ML(love him tho, he’s so pathetic).
For MC wanting to do well, in the party chapter, his own aunt said “hey grandma and grandpa didn’t want to come, but I did”. His mom even said, we only come from a family of alphas. Heck in the chapter after Su-Ah gets him back to his apartment, he has inner monologue about his self struggle with being an omega. Let’s give the author time and chance to flesh out their story.
Hear me out. This story is alr fking dark with the noncon, obsessive yandere, childhood abuse and violence but if the author stops torturing us from now thìs could be a POTN level save. Like if the MC and ML start matching each other’s freak. The ML at least could be wayyy more redeemed than the ML in POTN comparatively (considering bro suffered 100x & literally got SA’d himself to get ML, not that that excuses his own rape).






He bout to flip in thìs bitch and blow up. Mmmm love jealousy arc. I need MC to crack 2nd ML expidicously. Like don’t even get feelings involved just crack him once for us please.
