Yep, if not horror, at least it qualifies for "psychological" (even reminds me of Japanese author Harada's style in some parts) At least in Killing Stalking Bum still thought that the greatest "happiness" was being with Sangwoo... He brainwashed himself so much that he finally lost any reason he had left and became an active participant in Sangwoo's crimes. To me, this is more like Palace of Bardo, Bound, and Color Recipe by Harada, all combined
the feeling reading this gives me reminds me of killing stalking just. less outwardly horrifying. less gore and shock. more like a creeping resignation that the mc is going to live the rest of his life with his abuser which is a horrifying premise in its own right
