I still can't believe some people say that the top love the bottom. I see multiple people on tik tok saying the top love the bottom and I'm just like WTF.
They are confusing obsession with love. What the top felt for the bottom changed the moment he realized the bottom was going to be the same, even after losing the memory (amnesia caused by a fight he had with someone who will later convince the top to get his revenge).
He thought it was not fair that he could just forget everything he did to him, while he was the only one who had to live with this horrible memory and a mentally ill mother(caused by the bottom). The love changed to hate. And the hate changed to obsession.
The only reason he seems like "he cares and love" him is not only because of lingering past feeling but bcs he became the only person he continued to think about for years.
I remember when people talked about killing stalking like it was romance like what abt that scream love and romance?
That's a lot of flags.

This is mainly for the people who don't know exactly what they are going to read and see. Both for the majority who will find this unsettling and disgusting and for the few freaks who will instead get off on this.
This story is basically revenge/torture porn or psychological horror, that depends on how you read it.
the NO-LOVE trope they are using as warning means (from what i understand) that the characters, in this case Jiwook(the one in the cover), are depicted having sex or being raped by other side characters.
It's clearly NOT a romance. And the main characters are going to live and be together in the end since they are both mentally unwell and can't live without each other.
If you want to know the whole story without reading it, there's already someone else who commented it if you scroll down for a bit.
