I tune in here with every update just to read the comments. Seriously tho this story’s lost it
I'm feeling both so vindicated right now, and also so very sorry for everyone who just read this, cause I read ch 79 raw back in December and it made me sick to my stomach. Seeing Leon suffer like this felt like way beyond a simple rape-y BL with occasional (interesting) plot, and down into genuinely sickening horror-rape. Especially when the author joked that Leon was "working hard" on her Instagram. I was so, so mad and so disgusted. And, spoiler for the upcoming chapters, but it gets worse. (I couldn't believe it either).
Anyway, funny enough, it inspired me to write a fix-it for all this. So everyone interested, see a link to my fanfic below. I promise closure, revenge, Cliff coming back, and a happy ending for Leon. Most of all I promise a plot. Those interested, mind the tags and end-warning notes please.
Thanks and may Leon one day get his freedom and revenge in and out of this story.

I love her she might actually be my favorite FL ever
For everyone except Bada, there’s truly no activity more dangerous than walking alone through the woods with Doha
Bada: you lying to me makes me want to kill you
Doha: no worries i get that, go ahead :D
Bada: but you're too okay with that, which is why I'll just kill *myself* instead
Doha: D:
Truly a perfect match
In a perfect world the true ship would have been MC and that poor tour guide who’s identity he’s using. That guy was the only one out of these dudes (ML and the creepy doctor) who actually looked decent
I feel like Laila’s trauma has kinda…not been addressed? Like at some point the story lost its more serious edge, and now its just going smoothly with some not-really-tense romance drama going on. I dunno it just doesnt feel satisfying. Dont get me wrong i understand Sion’s past and mentality, revenge was the only thing he could cling to so logically i get it. But that doesn’t excuse the fact that Laila lived many many years repeating life over and trying to escape death, only to be hunted down and murdered by him each time. Until she had to learn to smile through her terror and befriend him.
It just feels like their current relationship is…unearned maybe?
And I dont so much have an issue with them ending up together, instead it’s how it seems the story isn't really addressing the past from Laila’s PoV anymore and thus all she went through is being swept under the rug. Like i expected her to show some fear or ptsd to see “grown up Sion,” even if just for a moment, and then for then to finally address it and talk about it. But instead she just smiled to see him and the story moved onto matchmaking?
I dunno it feels…off. Like the story isnt allowing her any anger and grief anymore and thus not letting her work through her own trauma. Maybe it’ll happen next few chapters but it would feel a bit late i guess
Also the fact that she’s instead so guilty and haunted about being the villain’s daughter instead is so frustrating to me because she literally didnt do anything and yet suffered so much for it. Like i feel the story is focusing on the wrong thing here??
Mind reader boy going on whole ass virtual dates with MC, of the stalker variety, to the point he ran out of money….
I feel—so bad for the plant. It was just chilling at home
Not gonna lie the ending kinda flopped for me. Not even because of the tragedy, it just didn’t make me feel much emotion.
I have NO second male lead syndrome this time!! ML for the win!!!
