Minho(e) is written so perfectly I can't get over it!! Just read chapter 20 and that character is so complex, we all know he sucks but he's clever in doing a "sweet and salty" kind of play.
He's not straight up beating or abusing Mc like you'll usually see in other Manhwa but he acts just the right amount of sweet and twisted to completely manipulate and put the Mc down while thinking of Minho(e) as the one and only.
The whole scene in that chapter was perfection and the contrast between the "pathetic/you're not pathetic" was amazing.
Ah ngl this just earned a spot in my Top 10 Manhwa.
Warning!!!
You should wait awhile before you continue reading....
Too late....I'm genuinely so sad and appalled Idek
But thank you regardless.
Anyway this you are waaay better of than me.. I dropped it when the uke went with the villain and took a break from this webtoon.
That's understandable!
At first I was confused why the rating wasn't as high as I expected for a story that's about an Mc in a toxic relationship who heals through second lead until I read further ahead....everything feels so wrong and awful, makes my praise for the early chapters feel like lies.
Lol sheeesh now you also have to ho through the emotional Rollercoaster
But I do like this one. It's not crappy. The characters feel genuine ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Wait what happens later
I LOVE spoilers so I'll also spoil you (▰˘◡˘▰)
So if you havent read it, the story thus far: uke was in a toxic manipulative relation then meets the good seme falls in love they go steadily but uke sooo manipulated that he doesn't have a self esteem or don't have a self. The cute couple break up as the villain seme again manipulates the uke. Then there's the background on how the shit couple got together and jump to the present, the uke is conflicted and frustrated and confused and still in love with the good seme.
In most cases I'd def be hating on a spineless uke, but i feel soooo bad for the poor bb.
It's like the title suggests; a terrible romance indeed. But with a good writing and art.
I absolutely agree with you! It does feel genuine, it just tucks at your heart strings BIG TIME ╥﹏╥
I'm on chapter 13 rn BUT I had to comment this.
When I started the first chapter I was like "oh another abusive Top, this will be pure smut without good story but okay", while I kinda hurriedly skipped over the first half (also the woman took me off guard).
The cover page also didn't make me feel like I was gonna read a good story, looks very provocative and I was thinking to kill some time.
BUT I'm so invested in this!! The writing is genuinely so good!
The art is beautiful and my heart aches when I think about the Mc and how he's basically put down by Minho(e) all the time.
I'm rooting for Taehwan so badly.
I never thought this would be such a good read, I literally teared up when Mc was crying in the theater and I truly hope he gets happy in the end.
