i think it's realistic for a victim to doubt their own convictions and feelings like this especially after they've fucked up real bad and made bad decisions previously. idk i really like the way this story feels so cohesive with its themes of healing and relapsing. it IS frustrating but the story doesn't feel forcibly, arbitrarily prolonged to me, at least not as much as some others
1) About an antique shop that MC stumbles upon (I think during a rainy day) and ends up accidentally "buying" an item from (might've been related to his grandfather or something). Turns out the price for the item is to have the mysterious storeowner's child. There were also these special plant seeds that make the pregnancy happen if they're inserted into the body. Yeah
2) Set in a magic school and the MC was locked away somewhere due to being unable to control his powers. He met ML who was a prodigy and might have helped with that I think? And they had little familiars/demons they could summon/enter into contracts with
3) Set in a circus and the MC was being abused by the ringmaster. I think one of the MCs was an animal (lion?) hybrid deemed too dangerous yet still formed a bond strong with the other boy. I think this one had multiple stories also
1. Ugetsudou Antique
3. Pulling it out of my ass but "itoshi no mitsuyoku circus"? I doubt it tho
Man I've no idea how I missed that when I looked up the word antique but that's it thank you!!
The circus one isn't it, might've been a cutesier art style but not sure. Thanks anyway that was fast!
Ok 2 was mahoutsukai wa furete tokeru and 3 was a story in torokeru koibito for the record.
Black and white multichapter manga, didn't look very recent. Main character was a high school teacher (maybe an art teacher? One of the chapters was about an art club/assignment at least
involving model drawing, i think he gets assaulted by his student but it turns out he fell asleep/ it was a nightmare /hallucination maybe?) and every chapter had a different messed up or weird thing happening to this guy. Nightmarish vibes. I don't think I finished it so probably wasn't super good but I'm curious
omg yeah it seems like it was kaidan bl! i don't know why i assumed the whole anthology was about this guy. thank you!!
oh wait what I read was Bijutsubu no Akumu by the author you linked. which has more chapters of the guy....now that explains it. thanks again!!!

I have personally read all of them and determined each one had quite good storyline
just what i needed ty!!
no smart thoughts but i feel like we're taking the "fact" that bada is a real person for granted. might as well be another npc. might be the reason for the missing memories if doha or someone else hasn't been messing with them (ig that's more likely but still)
Oh em. That would be one hell of a plot twist. Bada being the actual NPC and someone else being the real player (maybe Doha?). And this might be the reason why Doha does not want to end the game, because Bada will once again forget about him if he completed the game? I know there a re actual games where a player helps out the main character who is just an NPC. Maybe that's the case here?
yes!! like i might be completely off the mark here. but some stuff i'm still hung up on:
-doha can kill but bada can't (i wonder if the other two could? how did the previous sessions go?)
-according to jaeseob, seongchan and him teamed up first, and then bada joined them after, possibly after being let in on the situation by the other two
-doha's apparent lack of morality (something that seems inhuman, but makes a lot of sense for a human playing a game.) but then again even if doha is a player i don't think he's currently aware, necessarily
