People on mangago: Gee let me read this story that from the synopsis, cover art and premise you can tell it's going to be full of dark content and then complain about how fucked up it is in the comments. Then move on to the next sus as fuck manga/manhwa that shows up, rinse and repeat.
Ashley is accumulating L's. Bro, the fact that he can't read emotions doesn't mean he does not feel them, my guy. Rather than just learning to emulate emotion, wouldn't it have been better to, I don't know, teach him about what emotions are in the first place? What triggers them? Helping him understand emotions by understanding his own first? But I guess that is too much to ask of someone who is also emotionally stunted.
Also, lmao at Grayson. He is really out here thinking he is a master at reading people when this dude cannot even tell when others are literally planning his downfall and wishing him death behind a smile, much less understand that Dane pitied/felt bad for him. The delusion is strong in this one. I do love my dumb maniac puppies.
P.S.: NICE TITTIES DANE.
Now people can stop asking why Bit chan is doing this. Now you know. He is just horribly obsessed. And in later chapters you'll see that he literally fell in goon at first sight with MC. The MC was so attractive to him that without even interacting he had Bit chan fantasizing all the time about making him cry and dominating him. As he stated in this chapter, he just couldn't accept that while MC was the only thing he could think about, Bit chan wasn't even a speck in his radar. So in his mind the only way to get his love was to execute operation Stockholm Syndrome xD
Ok I'm going to be extremely pedantic and annoying, but hey, maybe there are other people who share the same thoughts. So here goes: I really did not like the way this scene in particular was handled. No hate to the artist or anyone involved in the making of this manhwa, but It was just too clean, leaning on saccharine with colors way too bright for the tone that was required. I don't remember Dane grabbing Grayson's arm for example as he is asking him if he was abused or not. In the novel, despite Dane being horrified at the thought of Grayson being abused as a child, is upset and disturbed by Grayson's nonchalant demeanor and words. There is tension and distance between them despite being close because they're fundamentally not understanding one another. There is great emphasis in showcasing Grayson's otherworldliness. He is meant to give off this uncanny valley aura, where he is smiling as he is talking about abuse in a normalized fashion, unable to comprehend why everyone is mad at him. In a way, it's as if Dane is speaking to an alien. That is how disconnected and unaware Grayson comes across in this conversation. And on Grayson's side of things, he is like a computer given wrong inputs. He thinks he is in control and understands the situation he is in only to find that he cannot predict/understand the others' behaviors, feelings and reactions. He doesn't understand why Dane scolds him, beats him then looks at him with an emotion he cannot recognize. He is the odd one out and therefore he is at a loss about how to act other than being honest about his intentions. This is the first time Grayson's mask breaks to show the emptiness behind it, the lack of understanding of social norms, human relations and even himself. Pathethic, sad and scary. That is how Grayson should be portrayed in this moment. It is that combination that makes Dane at the end of the interaction disgusted and done with him as much as he is concerned. And I dont't think this chapter managed to capture all of that in the slightest. Plus, showing Dane imagining little Grayson was too on the nose and unsubtle for my liking. But anyways, that is just me. Feel free to disagree or flame me.
Here I come, all excited to find that there are more updates for this manhwa only to be greeted by absolute bullshit. Shitty ass amnesia arc where the ML essentially becomes somebody else in order to farm drama xD it's like the author forgot Chayoung even at the beginning of the story was mad obsessed with Gyuha. EVEN THEN. That Chayoung would not let this shit fly. Nah, bro rent cannot be that high. I know this manhwa is based off a novel but the Cherry Blossoms vibes this is giving are crazy lmao. Authors should know better than anyone when it's time to bow out gracefully.
The problem with some of you is that you're unable to understand that Grayson is no evil mastermind puppeteer in control and pulling everyone's strings. He is a himbo, childish, idiotic, violent, stunted, manipulative self-centered idiot. His perception of reality is genuinely warped so he thinks he is helping others and doing good (for the most part). He is not maliciously and knowingly hurting his siblings on purpose. And the reality of the matter is that if his family helped him in the same way he helps others, Grayson would just accept it as help. In fact, he already does. Grayson sees nothing wrong with Ashley's treatment of him because he is his father, and if his father does something to him it must be for his own good/right. And he gets SA'd later by someone who I will not name and doesn't mind in the end because he enjoyed the act. What I'm trying to say with this is that Grayson's mindset is also harmful to himself. He is brutally honest and at the same time deceptive in ways that put him at a disadvantage or in peril's way and he is so socially inept that he does not recognize he is self sabotaging. He genuinely, at first, doesn't understand why Chase hates him. He is not playing dumb or coy, he actually doesn't get it. Likewise, he does not realize how telling Naomi she is not the type you would want to marry could make her feel hurt to the point that she is only mantaining a facade of friendship just to see his downfall. These are just a couple of non spoilery examples. An adept manipulator and cold gigachad psychopath deluxe would not behave this way or fall into these obvious traps. Does that mean Grayson is a good person or that he deserves a redemption? No. But he is simultaneously more complex and simpler than what you might expect or assume from a first impression.
For anyone who is curious, I read the raws and Bit chan is doing this simply because he is in love with the MC. There is no deeper reason. This is no revenge plot. Bit chan is just a good old yandere lmao
People read red flag shit then get surprised when red flag shit does indeed occur. Every comment section is the same fucking song and dance. Nowadays there is a variety of wholesome and fluffy content out there and yet people will insist on reading the things that will trigger/upset them. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
