being shocked that taeso is acting like this... mamas read the first few chapters again and tell me if taeso's inner thoughts belittling yeomin weren't toxic from the start
like we really got a shorter seme x taller uke in this gem. and the height gap isn't just 3 centimeters or something the seme is literally smaller than the uke like it's SO PEAK. IT'S SO FREAKING PEAK

like if you ignore zigril being a psycopath he's actually the pitiful one coz like he's so in love with kay and yet kay is just like. chill lmao he does ruminate but he knows how to be detached meanwhile zigril doesn't know any other way of loving kay than being loud about it. even now kay is like yeah i'll be sad but i'm kinda ready for it to happen meanwhile zigril is legit battiling demons
they honestly have NO chemistry like. i really tried liking it but they're so incompatible bc they're too similar. they're like one bull-headed, strong character but with different physical appearances. i've read so much with similar plots but this one just doesn't have the spice a good enemies to lovers story usually has. they have no tension either ugh idk how to explain it










whoever said there's inherent romanticism in cannibalism... i understand i see your vision
