Im really enjoying the dynamics between Teo n Gunmo.. I'm so used to cryptic ML's in other works that it's really interesting reading about one who genuinely doesn't know what the hell's going on loll
Just two guys damned by the circumstances they were born into.. I hope it ends happy for both of them..
I don’t really know how to feel about this trope... The way the ML views their relationship with almost clinical detachment, all in the name of disproving the Naming system, genuinely annoys me
he tries to test whether love can exist outside the constraints of Fate, and then pulls away once he thinks he's "disproven" it. Maybe you could argue he’s trying not to push boundaries any further, but really, he never had any issue doing so in the beginning when it should have mattered. If anything, he's retreating now because it's him getting hurt, not the MC.
The whole thing feels like a controlled test environment, where one person has all the data while the other is a variable to be observed. He withholds the truth, watches the MC respond without knowing so, or that there is even information being withheld in the first place, and then chalks up every reaction to “as expected” misunderstandings, misunderstandings he’s directly caused. Ultimately, I fault the ML more than I fault Hanyeong. Why are you weaponizing doubt and uncertainty, and then pull away when it brings about ambiguity to your situation? It pisses me off
I feel a little bad pointing it out since it doesn't overly bother me. Just couldn't help but notice how different the the recent illustrations/chapters look compared to the older ones, I might be insane
hope everything's alright behind the scenes though, if there really is a problem
