This is a softcore yandere series! The relationship will continue to make you uncomfortable, will continue to be inherently toxic, and still end with the MC and ML being in love and dating. If it makes you uncomfy, that’d good! It’s not a relationship that’d be in anyway okay irl, just a fiction story for those who enjoy such tropes in manga. if you’re into soft core yandere, it’s all the author writes so feel to check out their other manga as well !
As long as you understand it’s unhealthy and not smth to be carried out in real life, and enjoy it BECAUSE it’s toxic, I don’t think there’s a problem. I have no problem reading the translators notes because translator is 100% right in their criticism. I’m able to openly acknowledge that and find amusement in how they take it so seriously, because I in no way feel the need to defend the depicted behavior.
Of course that doesn’t mean I’ll stop reading the book. It’s fucked up for every reason mentioned, and I read it because I enjoy that. Fucked up books can be really good, and something that you can enjoy as long as you understand it doesn’t work in real life.
ah, so originally Jun was the murderer and Yeon-Woo was the sidekick, so to say. I’m starting to see why Yeon-Woo was waiting for Jun to be his original self now.
Such an innocent Jun feels almost like a betrayal to the Yeon-Woo who blackened from og Jun’s influence.
It also probably means that Yeon feels as though the original Jun’s murderous tendencies were also his show of love for him, so whatever this current Jun does probably feels like a sham in comparison.
Sweet words vs. being willing to go as far as to murder Yeon’s parents for him; it’s clear which one is more compelling, especially to a vulnerable and impressionable child
