Ngl, reading this makes me anxious because I'm still confused about their timeline. Can't forget haeil first appearance when he drown in the sea (no piercings cmiiw) and then it said he went back in time, but apparently in this "time travel" that's his first time meeting pado again?
So before he drown, before he went back in time, i mean the original time haeil, that haeil didn't meet pado in his college or what?
So pado in this current timeline is suddenly in the same college with haeil? Idk my head is empty. Somebody with better comprehension, help
this is my vent about recent trend, like my mind immendiately started complaining when i hear Bad Life is getting a manhwa adaptation
I can handle every dark plot, dead dove kind of story, as long as there's NO CHEATING absolutely. that shi intolerable for me. I think we mostly reader dislike cheating so that's well ... not really a surprising ick.
HOWEVER
Red flag/black flag seme who has cuck/ntr mentality like willfully sharing their uke to anyone. for example Pilwon, that pretty seme from Non zero Sum, and Jerome from Bad Life.
LIKE GIVE ME PSYCHOS seme, murderer manipulator cannibals or whatever unhinged personality they have, i can read it easy, but dont give me CUCK semes. like idc how handsome or powerful he is, once a cuck then I cant unsee them as a WEAK AHH species, i hate cucks. idc about cucks irl, not my business, but fck, idk why so many cucks seme recently in bl. whenever i see jerome's face, ngl, he's handsome but why are YOU A CUCK TT
The only thing that made me uncomfortable is in some angle sergeant looks like Skylar due to the artstyle and it caught me off guard.
I'm re reading it again, and felt like this is kind of unfair that the real rapists of SM didn't get any punishment. It's like SM think that if he took care/revenged to the person who started/the cause of his suffering, all of the other suffering that follows would disappear.
And yes, sergeant NEVER rape SM, he's the cause, the man in high power in that camp, and the bystander so basically SM is sergeant's rapist. SM becomes what he hated. He even tried to convince himself that it's okay to do all that bc sergeant is the cause, he touched his boobs (as a joke and to ridicule him) but he never rape SM, he even "kind of" unawarely save SM from the two guys who used him as onahole in that room. Sergeant's behavior more like the guy who used dominance bc of his high rank, and bc he let it all happen, those people in that camp are comfortable to harass SM. Like he's a sergeant, he didn't care .... It's also at some point SM look at sergeant as if he's hoping sergeant would stop the guys from doing that to him, instead sergeant still casually watched his suffering.
If this is written by author who romanticized dark trope, I can see the potential of both of them being in stockholm syndrom cycle. But paskim said "NO WE DON'T DO THAT HERE" and give that irony ending. Basically SM died as a rapist ... No he didn't do "raping the rapist" he's the sergeant's rapist. Though at least sergeant got his karma.
