Thank you, you worded this perfectly!
This. Like I would understand if all these people were paying for this story on a legal site and complaining but it's free and they aren't being forced to read these chapters they just like yapping tbh.
for real…. poor author breaking her back trying to churn out chapters every week (and on a GOOD slowburn plot) only for her illegal readers to bitch and complain like they’re paying her bills LMAO
LMAO right!
For people that want to skip, you’re seriously not missing much. The backstory shows a very simple reason why they did it and anyone can guess. It’s simply for selfish reasons, for each other. That’s it. The reasoning only applies to each other so it is not that important to the plot. It truly is a way to give a reason to “pity” psyka
so many people whining in the comments like the author is pointing a gun at your head forcing you to feel bad for them when that isn’t her motive at all
if she wanted you to pity psyka and gyor i dont think she would’ve gone all these lengths to make them so dislikable and evil in the present. if anything, she WANTS you to hate what they’ve become. their backstory just shows how they got there. you really don’t have to sympathize with them in order to understand why they were written that way :/ just shows how a fucked up system can turn anyone morally corrupt, even kids who just want to survive. nowhere is the author trying to justify psyka’s inhumanity in continuing the cycle of experimentation he went through - she’s just trying to show you WHY and how he was pushed to that point. does that make his actions excusable? hell nah
you don’t have to like them together, you don’t even have to like them (bc I don’t either lol), but I personally think writing out their backstory adds so much to the main story thematically, because it contextualizes the conflict of the the plot and adds to the worldbuilding. i appreciate that the author took this route instead of rushing mino’s rescue because we get to see just how deeply rooted the problem is, which will make the payoff so much more fulfilling in the end.
so if you’re going to skip all these chapters, no judgment but don’t wonder why you’re missing a bunch of context later on lmao
