I love this story, its one of the best ones for depression representation (?) along with Payback, but I think the resolution was rushed at the end. I dont know if its me ....maybe it is ...but people especially in this type of media (manga, manhwas, webcomics) sometimes have to make it work at the end, especially with family. Forgiving family for what they do to you is not always the answer and its not always something that should be done as a step of acceptance or a way to work around your depression.

Yes, she is human, and yes she deserves to be free of the other family that abused her, but: saying that both your children are dead, leaving one of those children behind with the abusive parent and family, remarrying and never looking to see how he was was or even resolving it through therapy (because the daughter said they knew it was psycbological and she got help) is just too much to uncover and resolve in one chapter.

I know he was saying everything and that the thought process was shown in that chapter, but it did not seem enough to me. Yes he forgave her for abandoning him and realized that he didnt want to have people worry about him because he is in pain, but that does not deal with abandonment, or being a young adult, or being talked down to your whole life and told that you murder everyone around you. It would have been more meaningful to have the mother actually working it out and apologizing and him saying that stuff to his mom, rather than the stepchild she raised instead of him. He was an adult now, she could even look for him in secret or in hiding from her husband, I dont know but it would have been more meaningful for it to be her.

This is advice from someone who went through something familiar to a person similar to Haeyul. When you encounter someone that says you are perfect, that they wouldn't like you to hang out with someone; they would do something in exchange for your time and for your love; or they bite you, kiss you or hug you without consent; or they want to desperately and forcefully get your attention like Haeyul did to Jaewon, do not and I sincerely repeat: do not go along with things, do not accept things, do not leave with them, you draw a line, and run. In this story the MC is too kind, and such a good person that he didnt immediately kick out a guy who he clearly saw that he had broken in. He didnt tell him where he lived and he didnt invite him before.

I know its for the purpose of the book but, do not think "I need this so I will do what they ask" or "I am going to be nice this once", or "Yeah its a nice distraction " because they will not leave you alone.

I know some will say "but there is such a thing as being nice and cordial": you know what I would rather people see me as a fucking bitch that bites and is an asshole than have an asshole stalker. And I know some other would say "but its his job, its his money" and let me say no money is worth your safety, because those things escalate and they get worse, and its better to look for another job, another person to tutor, etc. than have your safety compromised

Now that asshole is a stalker because he did enter his home without consent, but it seems that their last teacher, Yesung was also a grooming asshole. And people can say its normal or what not, but at 22 you do not ask a 15 year old to be your friend and spend all of the time with him, you dont ask him to disconnect you from life support (basically he js asking a kid to kill him as a favor), and you do not ask to meet them outside work without their parents consent. A pedophile or a groomer does not have an age restriction, they can be 22, and this asshole is a groomer. People can say that they where friends and they never went further but they clearly are because Doonin said so himself, the tests where far away and there was no reason that Yaesung had to ask to meet a 15 year old in private for "work". It was his first time not going and he did it with the his parents permission, he could have called his parents.

What is going on?! Again?!

The worst thing is that I told myself to back up, over and over again, but my lazy ass didn't..."Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me". I want to be an adult and take things calmly but I am losing it.

I want to erase mangas from my Read list, but they are still there, without the rating or tags visible, but they still appear there. I tried moving them to the "Want to Read" and erase them there, but it still appeared when I select the tag they where under. Does this happen to someone else? How did you deal with this?

    PmChivas June 29, 2026 5:35 pm

    Click on the manga you want to remove. Use the delete link to permanently remove it from your lists or if you're moving it to your Already Read list make sure the receive updates/notification button isn't checked, so you'll no longer receive updates for that title.

    Sorry I didnt explain well:
    I used my delete link and it was still there (without tags or rating but still there).
    Since it was still there, I would click the link to the manga and it showed me the buttons to add the manga for my list.
    So I thought it would erase later and it was just a lag, but when I would go back after a few days (to the page it was in on my Read List), the manga was still there (without tags or rating). Since I still saw it there, I would click delete again with the link and it still wouldn't work. So I thought it was just one manga and left it...but I noticed that it would do it with a lot of mangas and that the number of tags (Yaoi) would increase but instead of decrease (or at least keep a steady number since I kept adding and erasing).

    Sorry, I don't understand the error you're encountering. What do you mean the manga is still there in your list after you delete it?? If you delete from your lists it should be deleted. Since I don't use tags, perhaps, you need to remove the tags you added to the manga, too??

    It is like a horror show, I swear. I did all of that but it is still there, I even tried to modify the tags but once I "deleted" the manga it doesn't show the tags anymore. The problem is that even if I delete the manga, if I click the tag it was under it shows up. (On the tag and the page without clicking the tag)

    I tried everything, I even tried "adding" it again with the tags, erased every tag and erased again, and it is still there. The manga shows the cover, the "delete" and "edit" link, and an empty Tag, but when I click on the title it shows the manga as not added to my Read, Reading or Want to Read list.

    This started to happened after the manga disappeared and came back, so I dont know if something happened there.

    I dont know what happened to my reply but I cant see it.

    It is a horror show I swear, well a horror show with a bit of comedy. Once I delete them using the link it shows that I "added" them in 1969. It shows the cover, the delete and edit button, an empty Tag list, and an added date of 1969. I click on the title but it shows them as not added. It appeared on the Read list by itself, and on the Tag list; I click on the Tags and it appeared on the Tags it was under.

    I even tried to add them again, to delete them again (I even added the tags again), but it still won't work.

    This started to happen once they added the lists back, so I dont know if it is happening to someone else.

    PmChivas June 29, 2026 8:16 pm

    Once again, I apologize, but I can't help you. I tried creating a list and deleting from it to see if I could recreate your issue, but, alas, I was unable to get the same error. Here are the steps I took: I added a manga from my Already List, to a Horrible List that I created, deleted the manga from my Horrible list and then deleted the Horrible List itself. The manga is still in my Already Read list, but the manga and the list itself are gone. :-(

    Damn. I tried to put an image to see if I can explain it better but I can't, I guess something went wrong with my Reading list when it came back. Thank you for everything and for going above and beyond in trying to see what is going on.

    No, it still shows the manga and with a date "added" on 1969, after it has been erased. I have tried everything one can think of, but its still there. I even erased the cashe and cookies for the site, and its still there. I feel like the a shot Edgar Allan Poe horror story.

    The folly of my youth will forever pursue me in this site...It will, from now on, remind me of those times I picked recklessly in my path towards learning the joys of yaoi.

    The worst of this incident is that - it is not exclusive to my eyes- but rather public; public in my choice, public in my selection and public the error of those choices and selections, done in my youthful indiscretion.



    And now we all know how old I really am jajaja...and how dramatic...

    What will the people think when they see that I foolishly tagged a 3/5 manga as a 5/5? They will brand me tasteless and unlike the perverts of higher discernment who read men fucking each other in obviously superior and more artistic ways. No actual persons are checking my profile, but they could be, and the possibility of my juvenile choices marking me falsely in some stranger's mind as an inaesthetic pervert? dreadful...

    though most of my reading history was purged when mangago's servers went wacko earlier this year. perhaps a blessing in disguise?

    It is the thought that one might see my profile, which creates within me a beast called fear, fear and shame.
    You see, artistic or aesthetic, it makes no difference to me, for everyone drew the same disproportioned form of men back then...no, what worries me now is what people will think when they see the story, the narrative, itself, that I used to enjoy.
    Nowadays, that same joy creates, in my soul, shame and an almost physical embarrassment; shame and embarrassment, in the choices of what I thought was enchanting, romantic...Shakespearean, in both tragedy and loveliness.
    What is more, I confess, I rated most of those stories that now make me cringe a 5/5 when nowadays most rate them 3/5... or even 2/5.
    And worse still, as if to laugh at me for a past that I no longer recognize, most of my past transgressions came back. A gift, I assure you, but one that creates a juxtaposition of joy and frustrating sadness in me, for my transgressions came back to the forefront, and now won't let me move forward without being forgotten.





    Dont worry when I follow people I get ideas about what to read next, so we can share our shame mwajajajajaja
