Call me crazy, but I genuinely love toxic manhwa. I can handle torture, manipulation, pretty much any dark trope you throw at me. But I don't like it when there's too much rape in a manhwa especially when the ml makes other people rape the mc I hate rape in general, honestly. I can handle torture or anything like that, just not that. I didn't know this story had that in it I just randomly picked a chapter. It was raining, and the mc had just confessed his feelings. Right after, that piece of garbage made the mc insert a trophy inside himself when he was sick. That's the moment I knew exactly what kind of story this was What actually broke me wasn't just that scene, though it was his face. Not the "unhinged obsessive ml" kind of crazy, not rage, not possessiveness dressed up as love. Nothing you could even try to rationalize as twisted love. It was so much quieter than that, and that's exactly why it messed me up. He never even got angry. Not once (or maybe he did idk). No yelling, no snapping, no flash of temper even in moments that should've broken anyone's composure. That's what made it so unsettling you keep waiting for some kind of human reaction, anger, jealousy, anything, and it just never comes. He just looked... amused. Genuinely, peacefully amused, like he was watching something mildly entertaining on a lazy afternoon. He was pretty pretty in that unsettling, doll-like way but his eyes had nothing behind them. No empathy, no hesitation, not even real interest in the mc as a person. The mc wasn't someone to him, he was just a source of entertainment, and that's so much worse than being an obsession. You can't reach someone like that. You can't beg, reason, or hurt your way into empathy that was never there to begin with. Honestly, I usually prefer toxic mls who get angry over ones like this. Angry ones are still reacting to something, they're still human in some twisted way. But the calm ones They're way more terrifying, because they're fully capable of doing unimaginable things without even blinking. There's no limit with someone like that, because nothing ever gets to him enough to stop. That's what made him scarier than any typical unhinged ml he wasn't crazy in a loud way. No screaming, no possessive breakdowns, no "I can't live without you" madness, not even anger when things didn't go his way. Just calm, smiling cruelty, like it cost him nothing at all. I was shaking reading it, because I realized there was nothing underneath that pretty face to even reach And this is clearly just the tip of the iceberg. I've read Reverse Thinking, and it doesn't even come close to this level of messed up i highly advise underage readers to stay far away from this one, no matter what anyone else says. And knowing the mc ends up with him at the end I hate it so freaking much. Wow, I never thought this comment was gonna be this long, and you guys are free to share your opinions and correct me with where I'm wrong about the story or the ml
I read this because someone recommended it as ''wholesome'' more like whoresome, honestly. This manhwa has almost everything I hate in a story, but surprisingly, I didn't end up hating it as much as I thought I would. It was so bad and disgusting at the start, but call me crazy, I always liked Ricky and wanted him to end up with the mc. Thank god he did.
And bro, why was everyone at the beginning of this manhwa so damn horny and disgusting? I hated each and every one of them I still hate them, except Ricky, of course. And the coach gosh, I hated that mf so much. I hate how everyone treated the mc like a whore, especially during that fight with his coach, where the coach kept acting like the mc wanted him to fuck him (bro was so delusionalfor him even I'm not on that level). I hate him for that so much. Lol, when I first saw ricky, my first thought was "damn, he's the most beautiful one out of everyone here, it'd be nice if he ended up with the mc, he doesn't seem that bad." And then I take back those last words so quickly, because oh boy, was I wrong.But also, I ended up liking him anyway. When he gave our mc that drink, I knew there was something sus about it. Ah, I can't believe I like him I must be crazy. And the way the mc didn't even find it sus and just drank it, bro was way too dense a funny trait most of the time, but in that moment it was actually dangerous. And I still hate the ml for doing that. He was always crazy, but what I loved about him was that he was crazy for the mc, even if it was in a twisted way. And he was cute when the mc saved him after he almost drowned himself to death his expressions were really cute.
I hate the other ending so much. When I read the first ending, I was beyond disgusted, and I felt so bad for the mc the way he let go of his pride, his dignity, everything, at the end really hurt. But after reading the second ending, I've decided to consider that one the real ending, and treat the first ending as just the mc's worst nightmare. I honestly hope his wife and son are doing well I really hope they get to live happily now.
Now that I have read it completely, will I ever reread it? Not really but if I do, I'll start from the part where ticky found the mc in the dumpster. When I read the first ending, I really wished someone had saved ricky too. I keep wondering if someone had found him back then, would his life have turned out a little better? I really want to know. And honestly, thanks to the author for writing this though I do wonder if there's something wrong with the author's mind for creating this. I like crazy, unhinged mls, but he was on a whole new level, and I still didn't fully hate it. Maybe there's something wrong with me too, lol. Do I agree with the people saying this manhwa was ''so good' ? No, I don't. The only good part was the ending at least they both survived and them loving each other, and ricky became a little more human in my eyes. But he's still far from being human. I doubt he ever will be. One thing I love, though, is that even the author herself thinks this shouldn't go popular. I'm really happy she feels that way but honestly, she was also crazy for making this manhwa, and I'm even more crazy for reading it. Anyways, I'm not judging anyone for reading this read whatever you like. I just wanted to write my own opinion
