The beginning of the story kinda irked me a little bit. I really liked the introduction and thought it would be kinda like a comedy about a guy falling in love with his one night stand but it ended up being much more of a psychological mind fuck. I really didn’t like how the bottom would just randomly hit hojin for literally no reason at all. And that one time they fought he beat him to a pulp and hojin APOLOGIZED for it?? like what the hell.. I saw in another comment that someone said that hojin was a doormat and I completely agree. I’m aware that hojin is a supposed “kind person” but for once I wanted to see him stand up for himself. I love the dominant bottom more than anything but it mostly felt like abuse in this story because the bottom would non stop just raise his hand at hojin. I feel like this manwha tried really hard to be funny and serious at the same time but didn’t do a great job of balancing it. One moment the bottom would go through a psychological break and beat up everyone around him, and then the next moment him and hojin are cracking jokes like it doesn’t really make sense. I know he has mood swings but in retrospect it doesn’t make sense story wise either. I have mixed feelings about this honestly. It wasn’t awful but it wasn’t as good as I hoped it to be either. I actually really love the character designs and how they act. it’s just odd how toxic their relationship actually is. I just don’t understand why it’s normalized to beat the shit out of your lover / literally manipulate and control them..but then turn around and act like nothing ever happened. would I ever read this again? probably not. Was it the worst thing I’ve read? no, i think the plot was well thought out it’s just i find it odd to normalize hitting your partner and leaving BRUISES on them. the ending was alright but i kinda felt detached from the characters once things started getting ugly. the omegaverse plot just pissed me off even more
