Yes I agree, you explained it well. The novel itself popular for a reason, leave aside the toxicity, the story tries to tell us that we can still try to be better without becoming something that is not us, even we are damaged. Well yes the story is heavy but to me it's authentic and refreshing. It's realistic.
Exactly. I don't believe every love story should be fluffy. I don't mind intense and toxic romances. This story is a reflection that not all love is rosy. I blame romanticisation of love in media. It has enabled very shallow outlooks on love. Love is it's fundamental nature is seeing people for who they truly are and choosing whether you want to love them or not.
I agree. He is a psychopath and he knows it, and even accepted it wholly by being an actor. And actors lives with scripts. They wouldn't think of something unnecessary things like what to do and what actions to make since there is already a script given to them that serves as the guide. And people who read this should plant what they read in their head and understand what's its all about and not just read it for entertainment, and if they would only give it backlash, they shouldn't have read it in the first place and dropped it instantly.
A lot of bl fans have an addiction ATP. They can't just drop it if it ain't for them. They read these series to project themselves onto the characters especially the bottoms to live vicariously through them. They end up having these very over the top reactions when it's all just fiction. They act like they were held at gun point to read till the end. It's just weird.
Sorry ment to like it (￣.￣)
hundred percent agree with you, i often get so frustrated reading wholesome fluff stories with annoying pushover characters and bland plot, that i just dropped them. but what the hell is wrong with these fluff people not quitting these toxic stories and condemning every chapter, trying to project their self righteousness onto a FICTIONAL character.. to me it’s like they’re the ones with some sort of mental illness??
Lmao, true. Can't blame them tho but boi, they should read in moderation. Fiction is fiction, do they think it happen irl? Yeah, Lee Woo Yeon's disorder is real and that it occurs irl but the story itself? Nope.
It's the creepy parasocial relationships they create with the characters. They can never just read to be entertained.
Personally I don't get how fans project themselves onto bottoms when they are the most weak in the knees characters ever
gives me icks knowing a lot of readers do this (￣∇￣")
they maybe see themselves to them? Idk too, but it's the worst thing they could ever do to themselves.
All your comments here are relieving my headaches and frustrations caused by reading the insane comments further down in this section. Honestly, I just don’t get why people keep reading a story they dislike and then leave remarks about how insane the characters and the scattered plot of this manhwa are. I understand that they want to vent their frustrations, but when will it sink into them that this story just isn’t everyone’s cup of tea?
We all know what’s right or wrong so coming here and still continue reading 90 chapters of a manhwa with a batshit rapst ML while repeatedly criticizing this toxic work is on another level of dedication and craziness for sure.
It gives me the ick every time I read the comments of such stories and they are filled with people projecting their morality onto the characters and not seeing the story as what is but as what if. As someone who read the novel please don't expect green flag era bs. Given the context of this story it would just be pretentious tbh. Lee Woo Yeon is in fact a psychopath, don't expect him to be anything else. The story puts heavy emphasis on that. He can and is willing to accommodate and compromise for Peter but that is the best he can do. And to some extent Peter gets that. I think people just want this story to be something it's not. Their relationship is toxic and that's the point. If you want a fairy tale from this please buckle up for consistent disappointment.
