i agree, and it's starting to feel like the only personality the author has assigned nakyum is to be a meek victim. there's really no depth to it.
Man, 100% agreed. This one has clearly crossed the line I think. Nakyum only sees himself as a victim, he did not take back even some moments of resurgence, which would have made chapter 68 much more different than what it is now.
Don’t want to say this, but at this point, I feel the author is stretching this story unnecessarily with the same rehashed idea. Even readers will drop it if this goes on
Exactly! I love power bottoms tbf but even any kind of personality would've been amazing.
Nakyum was sorta moody and had an alcohol addiction in the beginning which made him interesting to watch in interactions with Seungho but all of that is suddenly gone.
They didn't even explain yet why he draws erotic paintings of men and why he's so good at it, he feels so bleak rn.
YES! Him explaining he might love Seungho feels so fake although if you had skipped every chapter after 20, and gone to 68 it could've had an impact.
The story telling was imply lacking and Nakyum had no moments of character growth to really question himself, he sorta goes with the narrative "my abuser loves me, oh I love him too now lol".
Yeah it gets really boring and I feel like the payback won't even be satisfying at this point, the whole kidnapping was terrible too! I actually wish they had done something to Nakyum, not because I hate him but what was the point then? Just dragged out the story and accomplished nothing except trust issues?
Srsly, now that u mentioned it, it’s coming back to me faintly. Imagine! the author managed to make readers forget all that. There is no way that nakyum especially started drawing erotic gay paintings out of the good of his heart & artistic talent alone. He definitely drawn at a personal level. And for gods sake, that stupid sister of his! Why is she reminding him of in-Hun again. That fella is a utter homophobic snake!! And nakyum n in-Hun did not even leave on good terms! ughh!
Ngl the good story drifted away (right after their first time) and it got somewhat worse each week, this is just my personal opinion tho.
Having Nakyum now question his love for Seungho is an amazing plot idea but it's baseless, just like his sister said, it's Stockholm Syndrome if anything.
If Nakyum had a bit more of a stronger personality and less of a victim one, the author could've really made this internal conflict work!
Tbh I would be more excited if it was Nakyum who had developed feelings way before or heck even if he was a large M and about to discover his kink in getting abused by Seungho.
