Not really. He really loves the imae but shows his affection a different way. I rooted a bit for him since (SPOILERS)
he sacrificed everything just to help the imae escape garon. Garon then killed his whole family :(( at the end, he even let roha (he named the imae TT) go because roha wanted to go back to garon.. HE'S SO PITIFUL
imo for me he is worse than zhenya like he's so fucking crazy- mc literally told him that he's mentally ill he went on a massacre when mc left him and the worse part is that the novel doesn't censor everything lol literally garon is out there mincing and gunning people in that arc
Also spoiler*
He literally sliced off his own finger and forced fed it to mc since mc went on a hunger strike. that shit threw me off, mc didn't eat it tho
After reading this, what I can comprehend is that they both ARE mentally ill but in different senses. It sounds like Garon is merciless and cruel to people because of the mc but not directly towards him (?) In the novel of Codename Anastasia, zhenya was literally TORTURING and ABUSING Taekjoo, not to mention the insane amount of r@pe that literally almost KILLED Taekjoo multiple times . till this day I find it absurd that they somehow still "fell in love" and ended up together.. anyways I digress, my question here is: Is Garon also like this towards mc in the novel?
you have to read the novel for yourself!! I read both and imo garon is more unhinged than zhenya. Im terms of abuse and stuff like that, I do agree that zhenya is the worse. Reading codeana actually gave me ptsd, esp THAT one arc But when it comes to being obsessed for their man, I think garon is like a hundred times crazier. Also, he may not have abused mc directly, but he might as well have
Just read the novel and Garon might be the most INSANE top out of all. I also think the manhwa doesn't do him justice.. like him in the novel is so much more intense and batshit crazy. And here I thought nothing could top Passion and Codeana when it comes to obsessed tops lol
