Sad Fish

Everything about this manhwa is so convenient for what the author wants, there is no development whatsoever for ANY of the character, the things they do are so out of place, nothing makes sense, i find the mc annoying, the ML so generic and with 0 sense of romance (even tho i like possesive violent characters with soft spots, here he just doesn't have a personality aside from those traits), the 2nd ML is just a decoration, he falls in love with MC from the air, MC is 15 years old but in his past life did a lot worse things that ML, he was just this kind soul out of nowhere, like, he killed all his brothers, slept with minors, was arrogant and selfish all along, so i don't see why is he so adamant to do the right thing this time??? They want to tell us that he is reflecting thanks to this life but i can't see that in the story.
THERE'S 0 ROMANCE HERE, they have no chemistry, none of the characters, they fall i love thanks to the plot armor, what a waste of time, also theres rape but they didn't manage it well, again, just plot armor, they don't even brought it again after that chapter.

I once was called meat rider here for defending and active and so, I'm pride of that tittle. Honestly, it was such a hassle to get me finish this manhwa, 50-74 were pure PAIN, the only thing having me finishing this was Hajoon, it was such a complex and cute character who was wasted in someone as cookiecutter as a bottom is like Sodam. First. He was never taught how to love, nobody loved him the "right" way, the only thing he knew about love was that it hurt and that it could ruin your life, so he was attached at that idea, that was the reason he was so conflicted about his feelings for Sodam, especially after knowing that Sodam didn't remember any of his time together, I mean, he remember but like they weren't precious memories like with him, so he hated Sodam, who wouldn't? And more since he has this twisted idea of love, I loved how the author put his mental state in front of the story and how flickering his feelings could be, cause he doesn't know how to properly manage them, he doesn't even acknowledge them. For him love is the same as hate, but at the same time love is caring, so he hide himself in a facade all his live and since the facade work on the one he loved, he was hurt, not knowing that the mask was in reality broken with them, he obviously made mistakes and hurt Sodam, but how not to? He didn't know how to love or hate correctly, the lines were blurry and his inherent personality was to posses, he never got someone by his side, someone who could understand what he was going through and so nobody who can teach him how to do thing right. Sodam was just a fuckn obstacle all the way around, he only cared about Hajoon when Hajoon cared about him, he never tried to understand him or to learn more about him, he said Hajoon was the first person to have a crush on but never tried anything to accomplish that crush, he even dated other ppl (whe never know anything about these ones), meaning that he already loved people who only loved him, that's why the things he says when Hajoon breaks with him doesn't makes any sense, if Hajoon wasn't as proactive as he was, Sadom will never make any step to be more close to him, as long as other person came and said "I love you" Sadom would probably go into that, that's proven when Liam appears (hate him, the 2nd more hateful character after Sodam), if Hajoon didn't make all the effort of being with Sodam and showing his love in the way he can, Sodam probably would said yes to Liam, Liam was thrash, he was forceful, selfish, egocentric and narcissistic, he never considered the feelings of Sodam, he only wanted him because some bullshit, all the things Hajoon said he did, he really did, that's why I was so upset when sodam was like ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ when Liam stopped his rape attempt like for God sake, he was going to, he had the intention and that is important, he never asked anything about Sodam, he only saw him as a fussy memory of his past, even in the end when he confronted Sodam on why he was still with Hajoon, he was violent and pushy, Kind? Honest? Considered? WHERE?? ARE THOSE HERE IN THE ROOM WITH US? The "advice" Liam gave to Sodam was in reality him talking about how thrash he is and Sodam comparing him to Hajoon and understanding why Hajoon acted some way, he never really talked about some real advice or some sht like that, i was never invested in Liam, he was purely a gwangong kind of characters, and the worst of them tbh and Sodam omg, Sodam, what a gross character, a IA generated bottom, it was like a checklist:
Kind
Cute
Hardworking
Easily manipulated
Brown/yellowish palette
Doesn't communicate
Does whatever other ppls said he should do
No hobbies or interests
Family that hates him/poor
Screams a lot
Fragile and petite
And honestly i can find a ton of other manhwas that checks the stereotypes and still are better than Sodam, he never really tried to help or get closer to Hajoon, he just was cute and by his side, he never asked until Hajoon or Liam told him something about them, they were in college but no even once i saw him doing something with that, he wanted to be friends with Liam just because he liked him even tho Hajoon obviously is not comfortable with him and Liam is still in love with Sadom, if your partner keep seeing someone who is obviously into them, you don't like them and they know but they still see them and even more, make you see them as friends and keeping them around even if they did something awful to you and your partner, would you like that??? I would NOT, not even for a second, if my partner puts his comfort and the comfort of other over mine, does he really love me??? Ah-ha, bullshit. And I will keep doing these comparisons cause people tend to forget any red flag the bottom has but when the top has the slightest flaw, he is thrash and garbage like ??? He is a PERSON too. So yeah, there were parts of Sodam that I liked but his love for Hajoon was really pale in comparison to Hajoon's love for him, I felt that Sodam was playing with Hajoon feelings more that vice-versa, for example, Hajoon would never do something that make Sodam uncomfortable, he would prioritize Sodam above all and never make him jealous, aside from him breaking up with him and not being honest with his feelings (we already talked about how complex his feelings were and how he didn't know how to manage them) but Sodam would lie to him about who he was seeing at night, going to a random house without telling Hajoon, getting flustered by other and still having contact with them even tho they don't get along with Hajoon, Sodam wasn't even sincere about his feelings for Hajoon too, he never confessed, he just said that if Hajoon keeps being kind he would fall in love but he never put the cards in the table, he only forced Hajoon to go on and break himself down to confess, even when he realized that Hajoon broke with him because he was afraid of hurting him, he just guilty-tripped Hajoon, he never tried to contact him or going back to him, something usual in these stories, everyone expects the top to be the one to reach for the other, to give himself entirely for the other but if the bottoms doesn't do that is fine, like ??? So, yeah, Hajoon better character in this, I can't say I liked this one, there were a lot of plot holes and things left aside, Hajoon was played all the way till the end and Liam deserved worse (he used people, he was violent, he never tried to be better or to inherent the business, he never tried to change or do something aside being a playboy), and Sodam was just there... nothing exciting in his head more than "He love me? Yes, obviously, but really? Or not? Umm, I guess not, lol, but now that I think about it, I do love him, but if he doesn't love then I can't love him anymore:( wuwuwuwu"
Liam did a lot of awful things to Hajoon too, he kept calling him psychopath, he stole an important memory from him, tried to rape his partner, bad mouth him in every opportunity he could, tried to steal all the hardwork Hajoon put as the facade of Hajoon in their family even tho Liam throw away his opportunity by being a spoiled brat and not putting any effort into school or in to the business and for Sodam being like "You should be friends for me" ugh
