Why so much praise for this?

I do agree with some of ur points now that they've been put into words, but trying to counter other peoples opinion by saying why do you guys like this so much? Is unessacary. But honestly I do think we're just used mediocrity in this genre (that we've normalized and enabled) that we when see an ounce of thought or a concept that doesn't revolves around just sex being put into a story we hop on the bandwagon and overhype it. But reading ur points, I do agree.

it's not being dumb its all about psychologia and manipulation, the uke was overwhelmed by childhood trauma that he forgot, i think he suffer from ptsd or something like that, he constantly feel empty and need to keep people by his side to feel stable and he find the person who made him feel stable and happy so of course he want to stay by his side, its hard to doubt the person you love and the person who help you to feel "normal", the top is manipulating him

Well yeah with a story like this with no solidity or very little its all about perception, we all looked at it in different ways.

I wouldn't say my question of why do you guys like this so much is unnecessary. The comment section is for that purpose. My thought process was just to put a thought provoking 'title' to it and I always question why a series is popular and not just popular just bc but bc lots of readers praise it for having great plot/writing ever. You also mentioned it doesn't revolve around sex and I disagree pointing to the immense amount of comments about how good his D is or how big it is. Not to mention the fact that the whole series, they been fucking left and right (as I suspect) to hold off on revealing the mystery and give tension. The author seems to be creating tension and buildup when really she's doing a poor job of building tension when its just sex every few chapters and a small small tiny hint of the hands doing something. I mean we're 40 chapters in and nobody has an clue to what these hands are and sure that's fine but to build tension, you gotta give us good enough meaningful hints.

I agree with all your points I won't be surprised it yeon is behind it all and I definitely won't be surprised it TJ stays because of the dick and trauma bonding. I was really hoping that it be more deeper than this but I feel the author dropped the ball.

EHH you say its all about psychology and manipulation, which I can see to a certain degree but isn't the uke in school with some type of uniform training to be police of some sort? (I might be totally wrong) but boy can't question anything? I went back to look for what he does and realized wait bruh Yeonwoo was the one who wrote the book Evaporation and then the author refers back to it ONCE just recently and I'm just seeing multiple moments in the first 10 chapters that really aren't memorable enough that even I someone who tends to remember things, completely forgot. The hands doing sexual things to the uke, Yeonwoo being the author, etc.

It so easy for an author to say its psychological without doing anything that really taps into that field. We don't know if the hands are real or a hallucination so I wouldn't call it psychological as I don't see much psychological about it. Sure Yeonwoo is gaslighting him a bit, author hints at it being psychological and there's hallucinations and "trauma". Over the course of 40 chapters, she sometimes emphasizes his trauma but most of it is left in the background. The hallucinations are probably real hands and its some magic psychic powers they have. NOW THAT would be called supernatural or fantasy, not psychological. I really doubt its actual psychological reasons to it. And even if she is doing a psychological theme, she's not doing a very good job. My point is you can't just string together some psychological elements and then call it a great plot. That's the kicker. People automatically assume the plot is great bc the work is "psychological" when really its HOW you execute it.
