it was good at the beginning,, i could forgive the stalking and being an overall freak,, and the noncon/dubcon is just part of the formula in this kind of stories,, but he actually hit him, and not just in a fit of anger, he just,, hit him again??? thats where i draw the line they cannot HEA, at best theyd go their separate ways, or theyd be miserable together until death. if this is HE, ML better learn serious wife-chasing skills
read this first as it was releasing, and i just binged this again. in fact ive read this several times throught out the years, because the story is fairly simple and the ending is very sweet. the story hooked me from the beginning, since im a fan of wife chasing crematorium--suffering MC and regretful ML. it never gets overly dramatic, but the drama does still hit all my meng points. the plot may be simple, but it is very engaging nonetheless.
i love the art, because it is atypical in this genre.
i know it may seem like the ML is irredeemable (and maybe he is, but he did put actual effort into changing for the better), but our MC still gave him a chance anyway. im just happy all turned out good for the pair in the end. and the side stories are proof that MC and ML are making it work.
heed the warnings. it has very graphic depiction of su1c1d3.
i know this aint everyones cup of tea, but i unironically love this so much.
read this if you like drama, angst, and horrible miscommunication. both mc and ml are deeply flawed characters, so the choices they make do make sense in the context of the story, but just manage your expectations and enjoy the ride.
they are perfect for each other!! i just wish we got to see more of them at the end. the conflicts never dragged and, for the most part, the couple really did their best to communicate w each other. there may have been miscommunication as plot device, but it didn't feel tiring to read.
the bdsm part of this story is also surprisingly good!! !!
