I know everyone is tired of the recycled Stockholm syndrome route, trust me, so am I. But I believe comics that deal with such serious issues should look at all possible situations. I've read comics where the victim falls for the stalker and succumbs. Read ones where the victim kills the stalker, whether they end up liking them or not. But I have never read a webtoon in which the stalker themself initially has no proper feelings for the mc. There was no obsession past that of a child and their favourite toy. The slow spiral of the stalker into the role of someone trapped in a cage of his own design, along with the mc, the space getting smaller and smaller until they were forced together; it was captivating. I had never considered a situation where the perpetrator became a victim of Stockholm syndrome in a situation within which they walked themselves into. It's a depiction of a scenario that could truly happen in real life, and I'm very happy it was presented to me in a form that allowed me to understand it. A masterpiece
Thank you I was afraid I would get backlash but I think that no matter how much we hate a situation in which a character is in, we have to think about it in a real life context to see how amazing it truly is
