Not even religious but fuck. The rapist (Mc) sounds like he depressed the mood swings, the voice changes, the not being able to get up, the only having energy for one particular thing… not saying Im forgetting and forgiving what he did because no- but I do sympathize a bit (just a bit) from a moral(?) or humane standpoint because yes he was in the wrong that changes nothing and hes getting what he deserves but whew idk how to explain it. It’s like yes karmas is good you had a blank decision and you made it into a bad decision boom but the torture sense in it, and coming from a sa survivor yes the victim (Ml) is right for wanting revenge and he was tormented and has been through physical and mental hell yet now you are what destroyed you. Like he (Mc) was low so you go lower? Idk everyone is entitled to their own way of dealing with the aftermath of rape or sa (etc) especially when your the victim but I would never go to the same level as my rapist. And maybe this was a bittersweet way to remind him (Mc) what he did but this is just idk.
I think the issue here is that the revange has already exceeded its capacity. Juyeon has done now way more harm and irreversible damage to himself and to jiwook and thats what makes him a vile as well. Jiwook has lost his memories. Its like getting your revenge on a demented patient, it doesn't work well.
I read the more recent chapters (57) and I no longer cheer the MC and the ml on for the relationship... Unless he apologies and give him space. Now the ML has a understanding of how his behavior has affected the MC he should take some time to reflect and apologize. And also if him and the ML has a seperate ark I wouldn't mind it, they need a nap and a good conversation.
But…. Well I guess his dick head character building was slow and mostly hidden so well it came off as “love”. Like he's so manipulative it manipulated me omfg, i had glazed this man but the red flags were waving in my face n I choose to FUCKING ignore them. Like I was so mad when I truly re-read this and see the internal dialogue also dialogue, like this man was always just a red flag.... But the running away ark will be peak especially this MC I have faith, in the beginning he was definitely a runner so he aight- hopefully. ( ̄∇ ̄")
Obviously the whole 'killing guwon ark' I had that 1 big ass question. What are you guys going to do after guwon and the hounds death? It always danced in the back of my mind because being a bit realistic, if a town was ran with fear but everyone was ensured safety VS. a town where every was free of fear and everyone had to question how things get done.... What would choose? And yes guwon rules aren't perfect- and neither is his way of gathering people.. But definitely during a zombie apocalypse some things may have to be a bit inhumane because fuck it's survival of the fittest! And also killing of the hounds, see I have mixed mixed MIXED feelings. Those dog ass hoes do lowkey be useful by going out and getting supplies also providing strength. But at the same time they are trifling and would definitely kill the townspeople if guwon were to be harmed/ killed, so killing them would be the best case in this situation. UGH the teacher providing false hope is a bit annoying because personally YOU ARE THE CLOSEST TO GUWON and you can sit that man down and talk to him and redirect his sense of justice while ALSO getting the hounds in line. He's like the queen to the king in this situation, you also have so much power in this situation and letting that go to waste is a bit frustrating,for a teacher he's definitely not thinking. I hope he realises this and or at least don't kill anyone and harm them a bit and after have a LONG CONVERSATION WITH GUWON. But that's just me (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I'm tired if the same damn troops like the classic twink worker debt crisis, and strong tall CEO that hides his feelings behind that over the top ego... It gets kinda boring. But this work is unique in the fact that the uke isn't some weak pushover and he has a personality, he isn't scared to speak his mind, and nice self worth and defense. And the top isn't some man that ego gets stabbed a million times because his uke says "I love you", no.. He wants the uke (but he just wont FUCKING SAY IT OUT LOUD HOLY SHIT) hes willing to keep him close and treat him right, and even allowing him to go out and run around to help the uke busy personality. Overall this is an amazing relationship (。•ᴗ-)و ✧
Not to mention that the seme is so understanding at times even if he goes behind the uke's back. I can't be mad when he made sure that the uke is free to do what he wants. He wants to uke to break that workaholic trait since nothing good came from it. Like I'm not a fan of the broke uke trope but I'm glad it's a normal situation thing instead of the prostitution way and I can't help but love this story despite the trope.
Exactly!the work student trope is SO COMMON and it becomes boring, yet here they did do it more... Pleasing(?). And the jobs are reasonable so I'll give it that! But to say, the debt collector shit is quite RECYCLED omg but they did it the MOST justice with the mc actually running the hell away.... The story is amazing and gives a breath of fresh air when it comes to tropes ˶╹ꇴ╹˶






The whole problem of the MC friend is that ok you SEE a victim. And you just sit there and cry? Like I'm sure he had a mental dialogue on why he didn't or smth (in context to earlier chapters when the photos first were shown to him) but either way you are just as a problem when you are a bystander (and a bit of a spoiler he becomes more a problem laterr). Also to get this off my chest- this whole idea of "what happens when revenge crosses the line between vengeance and becoming the perpetrator" is cool ASF. If only it wasn't so graphic and actually makes it more psychological and thriller like... I'd be happy to read it. And yes ik it's a visual adaptation of the novel- and it's GOING TO showTHE HORRID SCENES!!! Butttt it be better if the story lends into the mental and emotional(?) aspect. Like the scenes where the MC is slowly falling into depression/ is depressed. Like THOSE ARE AMAZINGLY PORTRAYED!!! Or where the ML is fighting his voices on whether to stop or constantly act on his revenge to fulfill his promise on vengeance. Like those scenes makes it interesting!!! But then the constant visual rape scenes takes it back and sets it to where its more of a rape plot with a side of substance yk? Honestly looking at the artist formal works.... I'm not surprised just a bit disappointed.
