️Gonna write a whole fcking review about this because they deserve it. First of all, the story itself is heavy-plotted and dark. The author did a great job in this work, awesome character-building and foreshadowing (it never gets boring). And the characters, specifically the MC and ML, I can't explain how much I love them. MC has a strong mental fortitude, manipulative, intelligent, independent and calm in a very reasonable way. I love his possessive sides. It gets to the point where I wonder who's the real villain, the MC or the actual villain? Lmao I love him ️
As the story goes on, you can see many small details in their character developments. Their pacing is just right, slow at the beginning, but it makes them adorable when you see changes in their personalities at some point. It's not your typical yaoi manhwa where they would do it like literally every night and day. The explicit scenes are just right, the author focuses more on their progress and the plot. They won't do it unless they have to (so cute).
I love the way the author comes up with the most beautiful lines whenever the characters narrates something about their life. Including, the dialogues and reasonings of all the characters, it's so well-written, connected, and very reasonable. So far, haven't see any plot holes, because the author covers it very well. I respect, adore and love the author so much, one of the reasons is that, their works are always to my liking. Games, manipulation and possession. This work is my favorite in all manhwa that korea has created.
