Sian did forgive Yul from what I've from someone reading the raws of its endings and Thank you for saying this honestly I so annoyed by the hate from other users saying that its wrong to feel bad for Yul.....
I really apreciate you for sharing this! I hope alot people understand that common sense isn't always right sometimes and theres nothing wrong for feeling bad for a fictional characters.
and yea there are hated characters in anime as well too who also gets to redeemed themselves!
Look, y'all, I get fantasizing about, like, shit that's bad and not wanting it to happen to you irl cause fantasy is different. I get that. But this manga is trying to realistically show how horrible stalking/stalkers are. Yes, it's showing Yul is damaged and that's why he's the way he is, but it is not justifying/trying to justify or excuse his behavior, just explain.
I understand fantasizing about unhealthy stuff but here... there's not much to fantasize about. It's very clear cut, portrayed as unhealthy and abusive. Yul hits on like, every abusive trait and red flag.
It's just fiction, so it's not a big deal, but I'm hoping you guys are just young and are able to understand that it's just fiction. I know a lot of stories, especially BL stories, romanticize abusive, unhealthy traits. But Yul's dialogue is all abuse, all emotional manipulation, etc.
You guys need to realize, abusers in real life are messy. They're not this storybook version of them where they're evil people set out to do harm. A lot of real life abusers and rapists are like Yul - people who have shitty backgrounds and developed toxic behavior because of them. That doesn't excuse any abusers, any rapists, it explains but it never excuses, as countless people with backgrounds like that don't turn out that way. It's ok to feel bad for him as a fictional character, but it's also important to be careful because that thinking irl is why people end up sticking with abusers -- "but he has a bad past" "but he's been through so much" "but he's a good guy inside" "but he's only abusive sometimes.
In a lot of fictional stories, especially BL, those characters get "redeemed". They get a happy end and a different love interest and it's all rainbows in the end. And that's a really shitty trope and bad writing, to be honest. One person can't fix an abuser, especially not someone in a romantic or familial relationship with them.
Hell, Yul and Sian intentionally contrast each other -- both are from abusive families, were bullied, etc. and both have their struggles - but Yul became an abuser.
