I was intrigued by the psychopath premise but honestly it just feels like r*pe/torture fetish slop, i Like the dynamic between the main characters but with the amount of villains they shove in it doesn’t give enough room for the individual character growth, like we’re nearly 30 chapters in and your telling me haruki isn’t going to change at all despite all the traumatic shit happening to him 24/7? I understand being meek/shy/a punching bag is basically his archetype but if that’s the case i’d also like to see him be affected by the trauma in more meaningful ways, maybe this is super slow burn growth and he’ll eventually start learning how to fight for himself but idk it feels like this is just going to be another 30 chapters of the same slop. I like the karmic justice the mc dishes out but it’s hard to enjoy when i’m having to skip through assault scenes every other chapter, overall though solid 5/10
Is there any suggestions for past abuse that isn’t perpetrated by the ML? I feel like so many BL’s have a top who just ends up as bad as the abusers that they escaped and it’s getting played out and annoying, i just want a top who’s gentle with someone who’s already gone through sm fucking shit tired of the misunderstanding turns into rape trope honest to god -_-
peak fucking story holy shit this is like finding a diamond in a brick shithouse, i’ve become so desensitized to bad storytelling i’ve genuinely forgot there are immaculate stories like this that actually feel satisfying to read. goddamn i don’t think i could glaze this enough.
IMMACULATE! I wanna erase my memory and read it all over again a million times
