i love you's manga / #suspicious (not in list)(48)

not adding to the list bc i don't really like the art, the plot or the characters. only read the start and some random chapters tho.

kinda bland and not that interesting tbh

20 ...was a fairly compelling story..but then i didn't like the direction it was going and i feel like the ml went too far..like all for the psycho x psycho trope but.....hmmmm

many one-shots, i liked some i think

haven't read the main story, the random chapter i read of it was just her raping and humiliating this man and it was painted in an empowering, girl power light, like no matter what that guy did, it doesn't mean you can rape him like that?? idk the whole story but it felt like she was kinda obsessed with trampling on this poor guy's life, its kinda immature, she had this other guy and she could've just moved on with the obedient one and ignored the other???? this story is basically the normal stockholm syndrome tropes, he violently rapes him, chains him, shows a little bit of care, and then mc learns how to avoid the violence and then slowly develops some kinda compassion. ml is admittedly kinda hot, but if he truly wanted him, there are softer ways to go about it you know, calm down man. the t/n's weren't bad, they helped me when i got confused, and also they are clearly indicated, and easy to skip.

pacing is rather quick, lotta time skips and flashbacks it's alright, not great, feels very surface level, didn't emotionally move me or compel me

hwi is like 2 years younger, he kinda blackmails him at the start..idk if it's suspicious enough tho
