Istg I thought they gon be leaving things here and was ready to throw hands
Why TF write THE END so many times and then be like "imma be back" (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I was like bro why you be on his phone then daddysucker's chat pulled up and I thought maybe the universe wanted that
So a lotta stuff happened.......
But the story is insane. I would have loved it more had it been more elaborate. The angst is actually great. Had this been more longer and slowly progressing, I don't doubt it would be among my top.
I read comments about redemption arc for seme and bruh what? Am on chapter 55 rn and I actually feel disgusted by the uke, like bro, you aren't giving him the usb which has the information on his mother's death? I cannot imagine something happening to my closed ones. How bad must Jaehyuk want to know how his mother died? Its just so selfish of yeon-oh. If it was me I couldn't imagine ever forgiving this kind of person.
I remember I had this roommate and she was like this, she would do the worst things and cry and say she didn't realise what she had done and she was sorry but she would do them again and again and again. And it would just hurt talking to her. I felt so better when we stopped talking.
This story maybe touched my ick or something. I feel so wrong I might just drop it.
I do not read non-consentual tropes generally, it's not that I don't give them a try, it just doesn't sit right with me. They will make the most trashy seme and then suddenly he is begging on his knees. There is no dimension to such characters. And no concept to their actions.
This one tho was really good. Before you go along with the comments that scream rapey seme, trashy seme whatnot, I would state that in no way have his actions been justified or supported in the story. In fact he is a pretty ok dude except for that forced arrangement (it is contract based setting so I don't think it should be counted as consentual so am calling it forced). There is a reason, a backstory and it hasn't been used to justify his actions but merely the reason for the contract.
Moving on to the MC, he is very reasonable and not at all like your typical MC who are suddenly so in love but then are totally unhinged and don't forgive ML but then suddenly do. You will see a lot of development in his character. He stood up for the fact that what the ML had done could not be forgiven and his father's mistake shouldn't have been taken out on him in the first place.
Lastly overall, both the characters matured a lot throughout the story and both of them were still in their characters. If I had to say, it reminds me of Painter Behind the Curtain, the characters and the revenge setting is similar.
Definitely give it a try.
They should try to heal and move on. Try to get over things and live a good life either alone or find someone else. I feel like they were the biggest disasters in each other's life. Specially the uke for seme. He could've been a very caring patner to someone else and both of them could've ended up great with a healthy life.
This whole thing was so toxic. For both of them. Seme obv did stuff and ppl bash him for it, totally deserved but I don't like this uke either, bro didn't tell him anything and assumes everything on his own. Uke has his family to deal with everything but the seme who had no one and got mentally ill as a result of the whole thing, idk who to say suffered more. Maybe they just aren't good for each other.
Everytime this manga updates I swear am in a fucking dilemma for five solid minutes thinking should I read it or spare my braincells ╮(￣▽￣)╭
