Ok im already half way done with the story and its sooo amazing but i have a question, is ...

No.

Ookaay just finished and… never mind my question

not yet in the manhwa ;)

Fym not yet,after all thats happened does the author really think making them fall in love is a good idea? IM GONNA KMS BRO WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE AUTHOR

I was hoping for a slow burn that would be romantic, but it feels like if there's any romance it's gonna be almost Stockholmy.

I wouldn't say Stockholmy, but not norrmal either. You'll see if you continue with the story. I liked it a lot (the whole story, I mean), but then again I knew (more or less) what I was getting into. When I started the manhwa, I immediately got a reading on Zhenya, what type of person he was, so his deplorable actions towards Taek Joo wasn't that much of a surprise. But I like dark "romances" sometimes, or rather, a very special flavor of them, so it was right up my alley. Funny thing is, CA is still somewhat of slow burn (in a particular way).

Yeah, I have a knowledge gap between what I've just finished reading here and the way it'll end, so I'm trying to figure out how the situation can get fixed. I do enjoy the "obsessed with each other" trope even if it isn't always healthy, lol

When the kiss happens, it makes sense, idk what else to tell you - it just does. The same goes for any developing feelings. I normally really dislike non-con in anything, not just BL, and I tend to stay away from those stories, but CA is just an exception. Almost eveything works for me. Not because it's a healthy romance, but because the dynamic between TaekJoo and Zhenya tickle this part of my brain that likes complicated, morally gray characters in a unheatlhy relationship. Like "it shouldn't work, but it does, and even though it does, they are not going to win the most wholesome couple award".
