The author herself***
Legit, from what I can see, it didn't focus on that BL genre since it's more of a thriller and horror story and others being so pressed about it doesn't know how to separate fiction from reality by shitting and hating on the webtoon lmaoo
Frl or when people make fanart of sangwoo and yoon people always hate on it like it's not that serious
Ikr, the story is awesome and super thrilling. I don't even know why people say its romantic and yaoi genre. I'm sure the yaoi might be a sub-genre. But for me, the romantic genre is not even near it. Is there any love in there?? The main genre is of course horror as well as Psychological.
yea, it was honestly a great portrayal of certain things, and didn't romanticize anything, but show how Stockholm syndrome can really be like. it mostly honestly the crazy ass fujos that romanticize it, otherwise literally everyone knows its a thriller/horror. the reason so many people hate on it, is because its the horror/thriller genre that they aren't used to, so they automatically think its "not good and people shouldn't be reading it otherwise you're crazy"
Exactly, other people should learn how to walk away if this story is not their cup of tea insidea of shitting on the story, heck they didn't even buy the official release lol
You’re right, it didn’t romanticize anything and wasn’t even supposed to cater to BL at all. It’s the “fandom” that gave it such a shitty rep and added strokes where it didn’t belong.
It’s psychological horror.
1) A psychopath can’t love
2) SW saw YB as his mom, his mom who he HATES
3) He was raped, emotionally and physically abused
4) YB is also in the wrong and needs help. Breaking into your “crush’s” house is not normal. That’s obsessive behavior, not love.
5) The author themselves said that it wasn’t even BL nor Yaoi.
And many more.
TL;DR: It’s a beautifully well written psychological horror. Anyone who insists that it’s BL is delusional and need help. They sicken me and I hate these type of people with every fiber of my bone.
sangwoo isn't a psychopath though, he's a sociopath, because as a child he was a normal loving child and only became this way after he was traumatized by his parents ;-;
You’re right, my bad. I didn’t finish reading KS after the amount of exposure I got from the “fans” a while back, so I was going off of hearsay for that comment. I forget that people tend to use sociopath and psychopath interchangeably to describe Sangwoo (which is wrong of course, thanks for clearing it up)
Since Sangwoo is a sociopath, he’s capable of feeling “love”, but his idea of “love” is, chances are, completely different from someone who is mentally able.
A clear example of distorted love is actually YB’s obsession. He may think it’s love, but anyone with a brain should be able to tell it’s an obsession
couldn't have agreed more
Idc how much ppl hate on killing stalking but I genuinely did like the story, it was shocking, and I hate the fact ppl say it romanticizes tw(rvpe) when it doesn’t it’s just the straight fangirls of sangwoo who do, even the author himself said its not a bl just a horror story between a mlm look. Aside from that I liked it
