Same, I really wanted to know about their reflections in the mirror but it really wasn't something new, I wanted to know more about the dreams he had, etc. but it was really just we're crazy for each other end. Like that made no sense. Also, If you know any stories like this but with actual plot please tell me! Haha
NO SERIOUSLY and i think the most comedic part is that theyre THAT crazy about each other because of something that happened when they were FIVE. not something that happened over the course of FIVE YEARS, but something that happened over the course of like 3 months when they were FIVE YEARS OLD. its actually comedic how bad it is
for recommendations, i think "at the end of the road", "a night to remember", and "moritat" all have this kind of "oh shit i forgot something big, and this man i just met has the key to helping me remember teehee" plot, and im pretty sure they dont just have the plot to create sexual tension and be pessimistic.
and as far as like the psycho-horror aspect of it, im unsure, i know ive read some things where the *tap tap tap* is actually a shit--your-pants-scary eldritch horror/super-mind-twist metaphor, and not some shitty literal ghost hands, if i remember it ill try to send
btw, beautiful username, "deez love"
I completely agree. If I'm being honest it would had been a perfect psychological and horror story if it hadn't had romance. Imagine if it had been like "Stranger from Hell", Where the mc becomes crazy after talking and living with the other guy.
Thank you for the recommendations! Plus, thank you for the compliment. I like your username as well! (◍•ᴗ•◍)
OMG I couldn't have said it better. My sentiments about this story are exactly like yours except I thought this was absolute dogshit and would rate it 0 if I could. Been saying since i finished this that it was a bunch of bullshit with this mystery we figured out since day 1. Like you said, tell me something I don't know and then with the ending being so disappointing. Just a lot of fucking and it aint even good.
thinking about it again youre so right, its the same 2 chapters on loop, and people praising it for being a emotional masterpiece bc they say "twinnem" at the end?? like, just bc you use some semi-poetic language at the end of your porn, doesnt make it anything greater than it was the first place
in the wise words of peter griffin, it insists upon itself. For the better half of the story, we see the same kind of event over and over, "mc is a totally a pushover" "mc is actually le evil bad guy" "ml is craaaazy" "the hands! the hands!", its just this on loop...
,
but occasionally we hear something interesting like "tap tap tap", or "you like me?? were so much more than that" so it keeps you going, but the end is literally just "yeah we crazy and we craaazy about each other", like what?? the dynamic isnt interesting, you pretty much already know by chapter 6 that theyre trauma bonded, so the whole SPOILERS

the whole "my parents locked us in a room with scary movie and mirrors!!" really wasnt a big surprise, like, i thought we knew that, tell me something i DONT know. and the takers??? cheap. that was so unsatisfying, it might be more satisfying to eat dog kibble than to read that "big reveal".
I was so excited i wanted to know what the tapping was, since the manhwa was so obvious about the hands, i was certain that the tapping would be something else, something different, something even more horrifying. But no, its just the shitty ghost hands, again, oh my god. I read what, 62 chapters of a looping plot just for the payoff to be something we learned in chapter 2.
the "creepy" smiling in the mirror?? i was thinking, oh maybe the mc is an unreliable narrator, maybe the smiling is something hes actually doing and the one we see is the version he thinks of himself as. Nope, its "the takers" with their anti-climantic bullshit again.
The only reason im not pissed off at this like I am with lucky paradise is because this one at least delivers on the whole "porn with PLOT", even if the plot is underwhelming and they hit the same emotional beats as lucky paradise (none)
