would you mind spoiling the ending for me? like, i know vaguely what happens but i don’t get the ending - so simon tries to kill raymond (why?) and then jerome kills simon and raymond is furious with him over that and then tells him to go away, and then while raymond is going through it, at the end, jerome comes to him and they end up together (???)
I have a question, I haven’t tried reading yet except for ep1, is this academy for high schoolers and teenagers?? Bc it’s a boarding school? But they seem like adults, and Raymond is like 20? How old are they then?
Simon tries to kill Raymund cause if he can't have him, then they should just die together. Jerome didn't actually kill Simon. Simon starts a fire at their old dorm building with him and Raymund in it to die but Jerome save him. Jerome save Raymund leaving Simon on fire and Raymund have a breakdown cause another of his boys died and saying Simon just needs someone (since the 2 already died before and only Jerome left). Honestly, Raymunds rationality fucked up from all the abuse, violence, trauma, etc. he received. Jerome and Raymund live a normal life. Feels unbelievable. (That's how I remembered)
how did the other two die??
Raymund had revenge and kill them (it's complicated)
before reading, know that the only appeal of this series for me was wondering how the ending will go so if you want to keep reading this series, it's better not to read any spoilers.
i'm saying this as a warning for anyone reading in hopes things get better: it lives up to its title of this being THE bad life. don't read it if you're hoping things get good.
raymond gets gangraped multiple times by people in school and even out of school even years later. at one point, they even tried to get him to fuck jerome's horse. if you can't stand seeing abuse after abuse, skip this story.
and yes, jerome and raymond does end up together. personally, i think it's bullshit. they show jerome's backstory and how he gets abused and assaulted but that doesn't change anything for me. he's still a piece of shit and literally said they did all that to raymond cause he was unlucky ????
i love how strong raymond is as a character which is why i'll still read this (at least until the timeskip cause personally that's where things SHOULD have ended)
