Honestly it's so tense, the relationship/trauma drama got me on the edge of my seat like they were on a horse full speed headed for a cliff. The relationship built up with the male lead to this point will it mend or break further? Will our main character finally be able to feel safe or encounter more danger? I don't know how much more he can take, unlike a shounen manga where trauma is always shrugged off.
Tragic ending. I am usually a fan of happy endings but there's no way they could have pulled this tragedy out of the crash course to something good. If the MC left the main character alone and said they can't be together the Dokkebi could become a real monster, not very satisfying. The Dokkebi learns why what he is done is wrong and suffers a lot of remorse and dies alone and the MC moves on and is happy? Makes me mad. The MC becomes really angry and kills the Dokkebi or tricks him into being killed then goes crazy himself? Once the Dokkebi has eaten thee brother no way to make a happy ending. I am kind of satisfied with the ending, unpopular take.
The affection and clinging is back, it's what I am here for. Not sure it makes sense but I hope the story is enjoyable to read again
