I knew this would be garbage going in but like.
NO ONE'S LIKABLE. MC is comically inept, ML is too annoying/pushy to pull off the shit he keeps doing, and the 2nd ML is barely even in the picture. I like some trashy garbage if the smut is good enough and if the characters are at least fun but maaaaan this ones barely even got decent smut
I feel like Minyoung could've just said some shit like "let's move in together" or "run away with me" amd Cheol would've been down Immediately going for outing him???
Yeah, this would’ve been the easy way. However, I think that’s why the whole discourse with minyoungs uncle was so important. Minyoung isn’t “anyone” at the moment. He doesn’t have the capabilities to protect cheol the way he wants to yet, and it’s the mental battle that Minyoung keeps fighting. He knows Cheol is stubborn and actually won’t abandon his family just like that, as well as his studies when he can’t even openly admit he’s with Minyoung to his friends. So the “best last” resort was to make Cheol stay away from his family until Minyoung could take care of them and him properly. I wish they could’ve ran away too but sigh
Bit of a waste to have redhead just lose it and try killing teach in front of everyone so that he could die right away, really thought there'd be more to him :/ oh well.
Tbh I'd be a bit disappointed if redhead is just shooting at Teach, the cliffhanger makes it seem like redhead def has to be shooting at something/someone else while it just LOOKS like he's aiming at Teach, it would create tension and add a little something to his character.
I agree. Cuz the mc is lost in thought rn so he might not have noticed if something appeared in front of them
I mean it i hope we get a progressively dumber plot it's the only way this will work
Pretty good build up, new ML is acting more professional than I expected, and we're already seeing Guwon again way sooner than I thought we would. Teach gonna feel more even more conflicted after this shit haha
FR tho wtf was ch100 we're still doing this not communicating crap after the man you're apparently "in love with" almost dies in front of you??? Ok???
Teh smut's good and the story is melodramatic but ok for what this is, Ryohei makes no sense to me tho. Like it's established early on he has fuck buddies, why does he feel the need to hold onto Makoto when there's no implication that he cares for him in any way that doesn't involve sex
In alot of narcissistic relationships the narcissist tend to hold on to someone for the pure reason to have control over them. They like that they have the power over someone, which you can see in the chapter where Ryohei says to Makoto that he has to please him since he loves him. Ryohei doesn't understand love as an emotion, but as a tool to control and manipulate someone, to make them do what he wants. Ryohei has been manipulating Makoto all this time to make him think Makoto is the one in the wrong, which is seen when Makoto runs away and still blames himself for Ryohei to act like that.
Ryohei also sees himself as superior to Makoto, as he think it's okay for him to sleep with others, while Makoto can't. He uses Makoto to have the sense of control and power, to make himself feel like he's better than everyone else. A narcissistic trade is often that they actually deeply feel like they are worthless, so they manipulate others to feel superior in every way, to make up for that.
This story is basically the textbook example of what a narcissistic person can do to someone.
couldn't have said it better myself :3
Ok, I wasn't thinking of giving the author that much credit but it def makes sense.
I find the plot of the story to be a bit odd, but the characters are great written in my opinion, they are well rounded and I think the author actually put a good bit of research effort. But I also see why some people don't like the story, especially if they haven't connected the dots of Ryohei being a narcissist. Because all they see is someone that apparently hate Makoto but still wanna keep them around, which doesn't make much sense in the simple way. But that's exactly what a narcissist do, they don't view people as people, but as objects to own and to manipulate. I have done alot of research on this matter, because of a few odd friendships I have had in the past, so I often easily spot these things ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Fr tho MC is such a melodramatic pushover its absurd only reading now for da smut and to see how silly the story gets lol
Fr between teach's terrible acting and the ringleader talking about their rebellion IN FULL VIEW OF A WINDOW, I kind of love how its so obvious, like if course the hounds already know about it lmao. And really loving how Guwon most likely knows Teach is part of it but he doesn't care
