The full spoiler:
【honestly i very rarely like toxic romances and toxic MLs but have grown to love this story so much because of its realism. it’s not one of those trashy stories that tries to romanticise red flags and shoves rape in your face every other chapter. it shows you the dark side of the world as it is, no rose tinted glasses. yeah there’s some dubcon but out of like 78 chapters, the MC and ML have only had sex like 3 times while most of it is very plot heavy. considering the situation the MC is in, literally being millions in debt, i expected worse and a lot of noncon smut thrown in our faces. the whole character ensemble works really well with this kind of story and i like how they all feel like real people with real motivations and desires. the author doesn’t try to make the MC or ML a hero, they’re just people who have been shaped by the environments and experiences they’ve faced.
ugh it’s just the spoilers have absolutely ruined this for me. the one thing i wanted was this to not go down the cliche route of MC suffering at the hands of the ML but still forgiving him and ending up together with him. taeha’s not a good person, i accept that, but was i delusional to expect him to be at least a decent person to the MC? somewhere in the back of my mind i was thinking of the possibility that taeha would be responsible for the MC’s debt and that he would be trying to take his revenge out on the MC instead of his father but i really wanted to trust taeha when he said he had no interest in that thing. i wanted this to be a story where two messed up individuals who have suffered because of the same man (the MC having to deal with the debt his father left behind him and the ML having to deal with the trauma the MC’s father gave him) find some sort of peace together. was it too much for me to want the wikileaks to be taeha’s only desire and not revenge?
but no, taeha lied. he is indeed trying to take his revenge out on the MC, he’s the cause of his debt, he’s the reason the MC had to suffer in place of his father, he’s been manipulating and using the MC this whole time and he is the reason the MC will suffer even more in the future. in the future chapters the ML’s cousin rapes the MC and sends the video to the ML, for some reason the ML assumes this is consensual and then rapes the MC as punishment. then the MC gets shot and falls into water (i don’t know why but it’s apparently the MLs fault), the ML saves him but the MC is permanently damaged because of this. the ML is sorry for all he’s done, they confess their feelings to each other, the ML confesses that he bought the MC’s debt a long time ago and let the MC suffer as revenge on his father but the MC forgives him after like 10 days and then they get married in germany, the MC becomes his secretary. like wtf is that??? just garbage, ruined a perfectly good story. was it too much to ask for a complex romance that doesn’t resort to lame tropes? these authors need to stop resorting to rape and making the MC a constant victim, their story can have angst without that garbage. i’m just incredibly disappointed like this changes the whole story for me】
Wtf!? Wdym get shot and got damaged?? Also he takes him back after just 10 days after everything he went through wtf?? What in the stupid half ass redemption arc is that??? Gets married? So this WHOLE TIME it was plot heavy just foe it to have a mediocre ending with rape and sex tape and more rape and uke suffering???! Like the SEME did not even suffer half of it!! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ WHAT WAS THE UKE'S FAULT??! NOTHING!!
Someone who has read the novel?? Please spoil me from here on out. Like does this arrogant seme eveeerrrrrr show some kind of emotions towards our uke? Sighs* I'm dying to know spoilers. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
