i've simply got to understand what made jinpil become this delusional. you're not born thinking this way but were even his parents this batshit insane? yeah he was sexy back then but those days are over so aside from some money (not even the most money, mind you), what does he have now for him to think his opinions on anything are of value over someone else's? people like him are truly a blight on society and destroy everything they touch. so happy jinhyeong told him to get circumcised lmfao
i've read many a badly written story in my time, but this one has got to be up there with some of the worst i have ever read. post 2020s, it is genuinely inexcusable to be writing rape as a means of romantic development between two characters. it is the certified mark of a terrible writer, without fail. you write something like this and you tell me without directly saying so that you don't know what it means to write anything, much less a story. "he's evil because he's a rapist and an abuser; he's innocent because he's naive; he's romantic because he likes makoto." so shallow even a newborn wouldn't be in danger of drowning in it. every single character is fully devoid of personality or compelling (or sensible!) motivations. there are ways to write smut-centric stories without making it miserable for the readers every possible step of the way. i feel like i've been punished for even giving this my time of day.
i'm no believer that every story needs to be some highbrow masterpiece to be worthy of existence, but both the author and the publisher should be embarrassed they put this out in the world for people to look at. if you're considering reading this, i would sooner recommend watching paint dry to achieve the same effect.
"car accident genius orphan" words that have never been strung together consecutively in history
seems like a plot/writing convenience situation more than anything imo. narratively, if they've all lived in the same town or area since childhood then they would naturally remember something like that, though i can't remember if this is the case for the people in this school. if it isn't the case, then the author probably just wants to draw attention to both how enigmatic and tragic minyoung is in the eyes of others, and how, on top of his beauty, it really draws people into his snare.







they are so so so cute and sweet ugh imagine if they had grown up together and weren't separated, i'm devastated for the both of them already
