Meh. It's like the author tried too hard to make it deep, but some things just didn't make sense.
The characters were almost all so unlikeable, for starters.
The characters that I *didn't* like turned out to be the ones I understood the most, shocker.
First off with roach, who since the mc despised I thought would turn out to be one of those conniving dirt bags who do anything to undermine the mc cause they're bored but instead turned out to be a victim who was just stuck in the constant circle of abuse.
Then there's the gangster who I thought would be the topical loan shark, but he actually does have feelings despite himself and is loyal to them in his own way.
Comparing that to the two protagonists whoa re both willing to chest so readily on people they proclaimed to love just five minutes prior, who's emotions seem to elude everyone including themselves and who act all self righteous and as if their "love" excuses everything when their "love" wasn't even strong enough to make them try and work things out in the first place.
Mc is a dumb bitch who at the slightest convenience decided to go into the red light industry. Well, it's his life. Whatever. But then he acts all heartbroken cause his clients won't fall for him at the drop of a hat? And for his middle school boyfriend too like BFR. Then he finally catches someone who is willing to love him and the moment he does he goes and cheats on him. BOI. Why spit in the face of something good???? Just because he was a bit absent??? Talk dumbass. And then the whole "I know you. You're not a bad person." Spiel like that is quite literally the king of a criminal empire this fucked up more people's lives than you know. Who are you trying to save acting like that?? No wonder you dn do well in school, even if you studied it would probably ender JE ear and go out the other.
Then there's the male lead. I can sort of forgive what he did to roah cause it can be subconscious and they *are* escorts so the limits between cheating or not become incredibly muddy. But bro. Why did you enter a relationship if you weren't ready for it? Nether was roah tbh tho.
His chearacter is just dumb. He breaks up with his bf cause he saw he was in a bad situation. ...so what? I understand not accepting that your lover has seen you so low but you can break up amicably, the way he went about it was totally unwarranted.
Then he goes into his hoe phase and goes around fucking every dude possible for...mc? Make it make sense. If it was for money I'd understand, but you're sleeping around for the person you "love"?? I somehow highly doubt they'd want that.
And also, the boss, too??? :(((
Yk I already thought their friends sucked ass (wait I just realized the guy he slept with was his friend at the start. So not only a stranger, but a friend. Eewwwwww) cause they were willing to use them no second thought but I thought, hey, at least they care about their partner. But nope, they're both willing to chest at the drop of a hat.
I guess it's what you would expect from people working and manning that kind of place, but still, it's quite disheartening to see.
Also the writing just wasn't that good like some things happened abruptly and out of nowhere. They'd suddenly develop feelings out of nowhere or turned obsessed out of thin air, with no setup. Like the police thing! That's an important plot point you should develop across a few chapters. Not something you have the ml do while he's going schizo.
Anyways. I hope roah gets out of there safely, and I hope some of the characters that stayed in that stink hole called Shangri-la(which btw I had to do a double take cause I went to a restaurant called that just the other day) sink even lower and lead fully pathetic lives(talking specifically about the owners)
