vincent3003's manga / #i am in pain(21)

CW rape and drugging The author does an amazing job portraying that the MC and ML are both deeply flawed people. They are not black and white in morality and actions, which makes them complicated and realistic. The characters, especially MC, develops and grows throughout the storyline, but it takes a long time. Furthermore, his ‘redemption arc’ is not perfect since it is easy to relapse back into the old habits and thoughts. I hope the author draws a side story with the rings in the future!

Intriguing plot! I love a good mystery. Chansol is such a cutie and the flashbacks and guilt made me shed multiple tears. There’s no smut, but the kisses and hints were very cute nonetheless.

The storyline is incredible and the art is also beautiful. I cried a few times over how horribly original Sihyeon was treated. I’m glad Hajin took over and is trying to fix things now, but it’s so sad to see that Sihyeon will never experience the love he’s receiving now. The plot is really good, but it moves incredibly slow. We still don’t know who the mystery asshole is from the flashbacks. Also there are so many beautiful men that could be the ML I am upset that polyamory isn’t a thing here. Anyway, I can’t wait to keep reading and keeping up with the updates!
