I was just thrown off by the high rating, if this is what resonates with you that’s good for you <3 if anyone wants to read something psychological that’s more than a time-skip with no character development and forced sexual violence I’d recommend:
Smells like green spirit
Murderer Llewellyn's enchanting dinner invitation
Shitto wa ai o Kumoraseru
Circle trap
Lifeless man
Cody obsession
Stigmata - Aikon
Trigger
The End of the World, With You
Moritat
The Way to Kill You
Boy to boy
I was gonna drop this at ch. 27 when their guardian/child dynamic got to weird but I kept reading it because I hoped it would get better since it had 67 chapters and a 9.0 rating. Their relationship changed for the worse and was a never-ending cycle of the MC threatening to k himself and the ML feeling guilty. It ended with hMC stabbing ML because of a misunderstanding and the mystery/crime theme was honestly the only interesting thing going on. Now there’s a years long time skip and MC is holding him hostage and forcing himself on ML. The concept of ”it’s not r*pe if the other person gets aroused” is disgusting to me. There are plenty of good psychological mangas with ”mind-games” and arguable toxic relationships thats challenging the morally gray theme, this is just sexual violence and there’s no silver lining/deeper mening.
