The author really said: I won’t let readers delulu themselves into thinking Winter is as sweet as he looks for too long, lol. The moment you think, “Oh, maybe he’s kind of cute maybe…”, he immediately goes and treats Raymon horribly…
You get it. Im of the opinion though that winter isn't actually trying to manipulate him by acting sweet. That would imply that he has a level of rationality that we don't see. It's more like he's a 'child' who takes what he wants when he wants and doesn't care AT ALL how it affects the other person. In fact he thinks Raymond wants exactly what he does because he can't fathom Raymond NOT being the persona he made in his mind.
I always say this, Winter doesn’t love Raymon, he loves the perfect version of Raymon he’s created in his mind. He doesn’t even care who Raymon truly is, as long as Raymon stays by his side and makes him feel “happy.” Raymon probably realizes this to some extent, but he’s too desperate now to do anything about it…
Yup yup, I'm really hoping Raymond will realize this and turn the tables. I'm hoping to see a 'taming' arc where Raymond basically manipulates winter into freeing him cause I swear it'd be so easy.
Haha, I remember someone asking the artist if this manhwa could reach 50 chapters, and the artist replied that they hoped so too. I’d be thrilled if the suspense and excitement continued, as I’d love to see more of Raymon and Winter. But I hope the author doesn’t try to drag it out unnecessarily—that would make it frustrating rather than exciting, which can be quite hit-or-miss. Either way, I hope Raymon has some kind of plan. It’s not enjoyable to see him as a helpless victim.
I’m wondering when Raymon might be able to turn the tables and manipulate Winter instead. Right now, Raymon seems truly dead inside, although there’s a hint of disgust in his gaze, most of it is fear. Could it be that Raymon is pretending to be obedient for now, just to get Winter to let his guard down?
Once again, Winter acts like a beast in heat, claiming he’s doing it to serve Raymon still as insane and delusional as ever, lol. I love how Winter’s sweetness is just bait, only for him to treat Raymon even more brutally afterward, without a shred of sugarcoating. Poor Raymon. I hope his suffering doesn’t go on for too long.
