the set up was *chef's kiss* it was pretty efficient to be condensed into one part
pretty excited where this leads!
there's a reason why i really do love manga a lil bit more than manhua
RIGHT ME TOOOO mangas got that little bit of something that manhwas doesn't have and it makes A HUGE difference
interesting look at the translations, "insects that swarm around love" or the eng translation "parasite of loneliness"
its something you read when you're lonely and tired of dating, parental issues clinging on like something you can't wash off you. great art, really sits between that sexual - psychological horror niche im always down to read
at the core of it, its a person trying to find happiness tru conventional heteronormative standards, and the effed up lengths she goes to achieve it
there's like a couple more chapters around, tho im not sure if its completed
I think it's interesting. The ML is a red flag waving in the wind, but he has MC's "best interest at heart" . Standing at 81 chapters, it has decent pacing. MC's character development was really nice! She doesn't take shit lying down, but there's a vulnerability to her she gets to explore with the ML as the "eldest daughter" who had to keep everything bottled in.
a 7/10, a good effort, Dan had his own moments of wanting to step away from the relationship and letting JJ work for it. I just wanted the grovel to get drawn out a bit more y'know? I wanted them both to spend significant time away from each other and slowly come back together.
i am on my knees, bEGGING
((if you're wondering if you should read this, you should))
it's like a car crash you can't help but watch happening
[SPOILER]
we've all read through some SA smut slop where the ML gets magically forgiven with a tragic backstory, but boy those recent chapters were ROUGH
the repeated no's, the complete apathy, the bargaining, the crying, and the complete look of defeat after everything made me want to call a trusted adult
i consider myself pretty desensitised with SA scenes in my fiction, this was the first in recent memory that genuinely made me feel dread physically while reading
I've read so many sa works but bro this just makes me wanna cry. It just hurts so much to read every single chapter and watch the ml (can u even call him that now) just ignore the mc as a person. My mental health is actually taking a hit every week ngl (hasn't happened since orv or I'm not that kind of talent)
I think the recent chs are such a steep shift in tone that it caught me off guard
