I defo see where ur coming from but I don't 100% agree.
First bit was them getting into a relationship, B-plot being the stalker.
Second bit was establishing/building trust, with the blonde fucking around, Hwayoung breaking separating from Dungeon, and Hwayoung's family making Gyuwon run the club.
I think we're at the part where both guys are facing their pasts in a more direct way; either solidifying or shaking the foundation of the relationship.
It's been a long and very quiet issue that's been brought up in the story, but the other doms are pretty jealous of the main couples relationship (for various reasons). And then the mercs Gyuwon used to run with are coming back which may pick at bro's insecurities.
One thing that definitely holding the story back is the amount of smut that this comic has (i mean, i personally enjoy it- but thats not the point). There's so much of it, it actually interrupted the latest chapter. So it makes the story feel like it's stopping and starting, and even going nowhere- and these characters have developed, but theyre making moves that feel weirdly contradictory.
The thing i find interesting is the little things that sort of explain the moves Hwayoung takes. Bro is nowhere near perfect, with how extremely possessive he is, but in this last part, he's willing to introduce Gyuwon to play parties. Chances are the party scene is going to happen, and IF it does, im really interested to see how it'll play out. Cuz the thing is, Gyuwon isn't a victim to Hwayoung, right. Bro WANTS to be with him. And while I BELIEVE I see Hwayoung's line of thinking of doing this, I can't confirm it until we get the chapters, yknow? Going to the party isn't a test of Gyuwon's loyalty. If im reading correct, theyre playing the game because Hwayoung wants to/is thinking about it.
Hope i made some sense here I'd love to know what aspects of the story u feel are repeating, because I might just be biased/blind, and not considering something that you've noticed!
Hwayoung makes me upset because he just doesn't seem like a good person. Gyuwon is so sweet and then Hwayoung the biggest asshole to him. I understand BDSM, but it's all about consent and respect for eachother. I think Hwayoung just seems him as his pet which is like... uncomfortable?
lowkey so tired of hwayoung. 104 chapters and this man is still a bad dom. idk, i like seeing the development of characters, but i feel like this author just puts these characters in the same problems each arc but just with different fonts. i feel bad for gyuwon tbh.
idk yall agree or disagree? i just feel so iffy about this manhwa
