I know a lot of people are upset that the story isn't exactly romantic, but that's why I read it. I wanted to read some psychological flick of messed up people who aren't sane. I appreciate that unlike most that start with that premise, this one didn't just drop it abruptly to make the male lead into some likeable romantic partner the audience can fantasize about. Their conflict isn't driven by external forces like an outside villain so this kind of setup is more interesting to me, and in general more interesting for me than one with a random outside villain (insert jealous rival, weird love triangle, etc)
i support this idea, i mean love does come at a price and idc if we have redemption arc or whatever, but learning that there are different types of people out there is kinda crazy and exciting for me. I read these typa stories still and not fantasise about it because its not meant to be fantasised.

Yeah, it's pretty clear from the first chapter that this isn't something romantic. It's about a woman wrapped up with a man that's incredibly messed up, and if he ends up being someone likeable, it wouldn't/shouldn't be a sudden quick and early change because that isn't that kind of story. I think a lot of people reading it have read a lot of romance that use a set dressing of a troubled, crazy male lead... that isn't actually about him being crazy so it's never properly played out or resolved and they get incredibly bothered by ones like this where it doesn't do that for them. I read one that started really strong about a girl trapped with the male lead, and you have a strong 30 chapters of knowing you'll find out one's crazy. Wondering if the male lead is a psychopath manipulating her, or if maybe his red flags are a red herring so you don't realize the female lead is actually the one that'll go insane because of her obsession with him... only to abruptly go from this plot in one chapter, to them immediately just having a happily ever after the next as if none of the conflict ever happened, and then spend 40 chapters (longer than the main story) of them just having a perfect romantic life without any conflict or struggle or issues. I was CHEATED by that story. In contrast, I read a really good one that had a slowburn of going through a man that was somewhat crazy's hidden intentions, why he acted the way he did, him breaking over the consequences of it and having to spend a long time rebuilding what was broken with the female lead after she too had to face what led him to being that way and her involvement in it, and it was a great story. You still got the happy ending between them, but they WORKED to get it there. Too many just drop a happy ending that is satisfying only for catering to someoen that's using it as their fantasy, but not at all from a literary perspective.
The art was just too jank, which isn't really an issue in some cases, but a serious issue in anything where anatomy or the characters needing to look good—like a smut heavy comic—matter
