I feel kinda icky. Knowing that this is how it actually is in the industry. And the thought keeps popping up in my mind the only reason it's kinda passable is because the director is young and hot. Make him old and ugly and he would be the villain we see in all other stories.
Ever new chapters makes me.wanna read the novel again. I've already read it three times...so I guess what's one more time gonna hurt?
Okay so I just reread it. And I feel like it is a good idea of plot.I love it.However , I feel like there are some things that just don't work very well. Such as the ML being a psycho killer, yet feeling empathy for the MC when the MC describes his past, or acting like the priest is a lunatic, when he and the ML are the same in my book lol. Also, the MC has trauma from being tortured.Yet wishes to be killed by the ML and allows torture by him in a way. and grows attached to the ML. It feels a bit off, since he seems so afraid of it. At some points, it almost seems like he's excited by the idea of being killed, but he says it hurts, and he reacts in trauma response to the memories of being killed and tortured by the church in his past. Don't get me wrong.I really like the story, but when when you reread it almost feels like the author didn't think things through completely and things just don't seem to naturally work. This is my opinion, i still love it and will also continue reading.And I will stop thinking too deeply about it , and sorry for the writing , this was done in text to speech.
Just finished the raws and yea I'm removing this one from the list. I'm so fuking upset, ladies and gents don't waste your time and emotions.
All the theories ruined this for me cause everyone had such good interesting theories... this ending is so meh. I was really expecting more. I'm so disappointed
Going straight to comments to see everyone's theories cause I'm too lazy to think up my own
I've read the raws

Yes the next chapters will be intense and painful. But in the end, even with death (or what appears to death cause I cant understand the raws) everyone does survive!
How is the MC even hotter in the new season
I'm still hung up on the memory thing. The ML mentions that it was not he, but the other him who erased the memories. But during their argument the ML said something (I can't remember exactly) but basically he said it's good the MC has no memories of his fam. And ML also laughed out loud when he discovered he had no more memories...this to me is proof he is exactly the same person even in this life. Furthermore, where is the empathy? Non existent, no empathy for the MC from the ML or from the author. Okay, so because ML suffered more, MCs pain is not valid or not important or whatever. The ML saw MC be torn apart in the memory and had 0 reaction lol. 0 empathy for the pain the MC is going through. I dunno this is shit lol how am I supposed to be rooting for this?

I keep seeing people defend books that include rape with excuses like āitās just fiction,ā āthe plot is good,ā or āIām here for the worldbuilding.ā But hereās the thingārape is bad, period. Fiction or not.
Whatās wild is that some people actually have a fetish for it. Because if youĀ didnātĀ have even a little bit of that, you wouldnāt feel personally attacked when someone criticizes rape in a story. No oneās saying the book itself is terrible, or that the art or worldbuilding suck (though itās kind of early to even judge that, honestly).
What people are saying is: weāre tired of rape being at theĀ centerĀ of so many of these stories. And when defenders claim āitās about revenge,ā I just have to askāwhy is rape always the go-to way to show that? Isnāt there literally any other way to write a revenge story?
And honestly, it is so good. I love both the MC and the ML. And the love and care they showed for each other omg. It's the first time in a long time that I've read a BL novel that gets me giddy at their interactions and at the development of their relationship.
