Ehhhh, it was okay. I wasn't fan of anybody except MC character development and ML. I don't think MC should have a happy ending with ML cause he is a psychopathic killer, but she also can't blame all of her problems on ML either. If anything, ML was a needed force/person to fix her life. If he didn't come into her life, her relationship with her brother would've ended with him ending his life forever hating her and blaming her, she would've never found out about the abuse her brother went through, she would never stand up for herself, she would've gotten fired from her job with despair due to parents, if she found another job she would've kept being sexually harassed, that pedophile wouldve continued to crime, she would've never set boundaries with her "friend" or told her off, etc. Unfortunately in spite in everythingx her life started to improve after ML came into her life.
I also don't understand how she still thinks of that woman as her friend despite being bullied by her, and its not like her friend learned anything, her friend now blames ML for her own consequences and never acknowledges guilt or remorse (no, I don't really count that casual apology at the end).
I do admire ML for sticking to his morals of killing maggots, as soon as she called him one, he killed himself and removed himself from her life. It's definitely a obsession that his parents should've gotten checked out.
I was enjoying the first half, reminding me of a manwha I just finished reading with the brother being obsessed with his older brother, but the last 15 chapters I was forcing myself through.
Also the plot with the detective I thought was ridiculous how MC and MC's brother believed the detective instantly instead of the perceived good actions ML had done for them. I'm surprised the detective wasn't shut down considering he was stalking the ML with 0 evidence and the biggest hunch and conspiracy theory ever that he framed suicides for no reason at all except wanting a pen and a watch.
This gives major white colonizers, slavery, etc. There is nothing that could make me like Hill, like he has some audacity to complain about freedom when he has no empathy at all for Crispin's people being murder and raped and forced to give birth to children. It's giving indigenous people's men getting murder and keeping the women as sex slavers and baby machines. Crispin is wayyyyyy wayy more lenient than I could ever be, Hill felt sorry for his brother when his brother was the biggest offenser under his father. It's like Crispin tortured him, oh he put him in a comfy room and gave him good meals, but he wasn't allowed to roam, oh boohoo, treated way better than any captive of war. They didn't even tortured him. Did Hill forgot that his brother was going to make him have a abortion? Let's not even talk about the plot of the brother using the doctor (whose name is escaping me) for sexual release and being a awful person in general.
Yet Hill never gave a shit that Crispin was always in chains and drugged, then has the audacity to ask if Crispin loves him, maybe ask him when he actually has a choice and not when he is still your slave. Forgot about the whole pregnancy thing, he says he wanted to give birth, then felt like it was a torture than Crispin made him do?? Like be fr. Then after he leaves, he gets mad that Crispin didn't contact him? Then wants to pretend he cares about his child.
He blames Crispin for everything when Chrispin gave him everything he wanted and more, its not like Crispin started killing innocent people, he instead harmonized everyone. He'll, he didnt even kill Hill's father (although Hill blames him), the people kill him because he is a asshole.
There is so many things I'm missing to write, but this is all I remember after 2 months to write this. I honestly thought Hill would change and see the pain Crispin's people were going through and help with the revenge, nope, he stays the most selfish person in the world.
I stuck through it honestly for the side couple, that had chemistry and you can see the character development.
