I can see why there are readers who love it, and why there are readers who hate it. The author probably had to go on hiatus every so often cause of all the stress from the hate mail lmao. I actually liked it. The angst hit the spot for me. It didn’t feel as heavy or as toxic as I expected it to be based on the comments (then again the bar IS in hell). Everyone was realistically selfish and realistically self-centered. Admittedly that was exhausting sometimes. For that reason I can see how some people would find that the payoff (the sweeter moments and smut) doesn’t make up for it enough. You might still feel the bitterness of the emotional hurt.
If you’re a person who does not give second chances, someone who holds grudges, or is intolerant of one-sided/ unrequited love, this might not be for you. It will piss you off.
Anyway the MC and ML’s masochistic tendencies helped them propel their relationship further imo. Even in their honeymoon phase they were already looking for ways to trigger each other (well, the bottom was). You could say they’re growing together or whatever but personally I think they get off on the emotional torment. Low key I can see a future where they get so bored they get into NTR or swinging. And then cry about it like idiots ex post facto and reaffirm their love.
Now this is random and maybe I’m just unhinged, but at one point during the ending of the main storyline I started cracking up because it seemed like everyone was crying for like three chapters in a row what the fuck. Am I crazy? I was just cracking up I kind of couldn’t take them seriously anymore, even though it was the zenith of the story. Get it together luv.
Anyway justice for Woojin. I really hope we get a spinoff.
i dropped this pretty early, just a few chapters in when i found out he cheats, so i can't say much. but i agree, people like that seem to get off on the pain. a relationship that starts with so much turmoil can only thrive in that same environment. a genuinely healthy relationship between the two isn't possible unless they heal their own trauma first, and that doesn't seem likely if they stay together. they'll keep craving that familiar high and low, and the constant turmoil will be something they can't break away from. luckily, this is just fiction; otherwise, their relationship would be doomed
It’s oddly interesting, but beware there’s a lot of violence, drug use, etc. They’re a couple of crazy gremlins. But honestlyyyyyy I’m kinda hooked. Can’t wait for s2. It better be gewd.
Side note and spoiler ig I thought his parents were corpses in the first half of it (what is even their illness?). Like I thought he was living with corpses. So to me it turned out that he’s a tiny bit less crazy than I expected.
The yaoi build goes kinda hard here whew straight up firetrucks in a few of those panels
Why is an EPILOGUE so angsty
Ik (￣∇￣")
It has more actual story and depth in 15 chapters then the original 60 did. Not bad tho
ML is probably starting to feel insecure rn. -SPOILERS- Even though he’s fixing everything he did in the past timeline, there are now things he can’t completely predict or know in advance because of the new choices they’re both making. MC’s autonomy is making him nervous, despite the fact it’s what he wanted/ counted on in anticipation that he might regain his memories and leave. His alpha ass is now stuck between wanting MC to be independent and wanting MC to stay by his side. He doesn’t think he can have both, which makes me wonder wow how terrible was he in the past timeline. It seems like he assumes that no one in their right mind would stay with him after knowing what he did.
so rn hes not really mad at sejin, but to himself ??
That’s my impression He seems to be nervous that Sejin is comfortable enough around people to drink, for example. It’s probably not something he has ever seen him do in the past. But he set the whole company up himself so it just seems like frustration on his part, not serious anger. Im over-analyzing haha.
omg i understand you!! i can see it too!!
I’m happy I came to the comments and read this. I was thinking the same but you put it into words nicely!
hi! i've been skimming chapters. can you tell me if ido's the one in sejin's dreams who's saying to whore himself out? what do you mean past timeline?
Yes he’s the one. The nightmares are actually flashbacks from the past lives they had. If you’re curious here is a link to spoilers that explain everything better than me:
