I’m actually really proud of Taeju. I can’t say I’m happy for the pain he’s going through, but this is the exact character development I was hoping for (that you basically never see) - not only being willing to let their object of affection go, but feeling the need to due to the severity of the harm he inflicted. The explanation that he believes that Euihyun is only feeling love due to omega pregnancy pheromones isn’t unreasonable. It doesn’t feel forced or added for the sake of conflict.
I just really continue to be impressed by this story. I just haven’t seen these sort of matters tackled so well by any author. When this story started I assumed it would be another guilty pleasure at best, but it has surpassed my expectations in every way.
Genuinely it didn’t feel like a romance developed in this story to me, it more-so felt like they just became friends at the end (if anything). Miyoshi doesn’t genuinely seem interested in Goto, romantically or sexually.
And that’s not to mention the creepy stalking and coercive behavior.
cos it doesnt have yet any romance in it other than sara's personal feelings and which is why this is an on going story. romance isnt always rainbow and unicorn, yall here are so sensitive the stalking and aggressiveness here doesnt even that bad, he even totally stopped coming to him bc he knew he went overboard, maybe broaden your understanding to these things and yall might even enjoy them more than 'fluff' romance yall want.
Of course this story is going the fucking ableist route of “personality disorders make you abusive”. I lost any remaining goodwill I felt.
Uploader, people are allowed to write stories, but people are also allowed to criticize them - it’s not purely about a character being evil, but whether or not people feel that it is actually well written. I genuinely cannot imagine anything that would make the top redeemable in ANY capacity, and the fact that the author has thrown in that he has a personality disorder to explain his toxicness/abuse makes it look like extremely poor writing. Especially one that is so severely stigmatized IRL.
THIS! I usually agree that a story is a story and in a way I still do but I just don't see the ML being redeemable in any way. Whether its a mental disorder, physical or whatever, that doesn't change or excuse the fact that the ML is garbage. And abusing someone, ruthless alpha bs or not, is morally and generally wrong and that goes for all of these sorts of stories, not just this.
I'm still gonna continue to see where this goes but it's giving a very generic storyline and I'm pretty sure I've already read a couple of stories with exactly the same plot as this. So yeah there's probably going be nothing much to expect but for them to blame it on childhood trauma or mental issues.
I hate that his ASPD is being used to try to make the reader feel pity for this asshole. I know people with ASPD. It isn’t like this - this just adds to what is already a very stigmatized disorder.
