I don’t know if there was a serialization issue behind this webtoon’s ending, but whatever the reason, this has to be one of the most frustratingly wasted plots I’ve come across in a long time.
The story had so much potential, rich subplots, layered characters, emotional tension, and yet it all crumbled under the weight of rushed pacing and poor closure. So many loose ends were left hanging, plot holes were shrugged off, and key storylines were barely touched.
And now we’re getting these “special” chapters filled with scenes that should’ve been in the main storyline all along? It’s not just disappointing. It’s infuriating.
I’ve seen some folks say that the vampire kid would be the Seme. Is that officially confirmed?

Say what you will, but to me, this webtoon’s writing is genuinely on another level. DOWNVOTE ME AGAIN.
What sets it apart isn’t just the emotional weight, it’s the way that weight is delivered. Every scene, every line, every visual cue is purposeful. The writing doesn’t just tell a story, it builds a layered, self-reflective experience that keeps unfolding long after you’ve finished the chapter.
One of the most brilliant aspects is the symbolic use of blood types. The moment it’s revealed that the child is AB positive and the father is O negative, I immediately understood the author wasn’t just playing with plot twists, they were crafting symbolic proof of betrayal. It’s the kind of detail that rewards attentive readers, especially those with a medical background. It’s subtle, but devastating. And that’s the kind of precision you rarely see in webtoons that lean heavy on melodrama. Here, every detail is doing narrative work.
And then there’s the meta-structure: a story within a story. Whether or not those extra chapters are part of an alternate universe or still connected to the main timeline is up for debate, but either way, the effect is the same. The characters are actors playing roles, but the roles mirror their real lives so closely that the line between fiction and truth collapses. The script becomes their confession. The scenes they perform aren’t just dramatic, they’re autopsies of their own pasts. That’s next level writing. It’s not just clever, it’s emotionally disarming.
Even the dialogue, especially the mother’s, carries that perfect mix of poetic cadence and raw vulnerability. When she says her love was treated like “some vile act of prostitution,” it’s not just dramatic. It’s calibrated. It hurts, because it’s real. It captures what it feels like to give everything and be misunderstood to the point of dehumanization. That line doesn’t just exist for shock, it encapsulates her entire descent.
But what seals it for me is that this webtoon doesn’t beg for sympathy. It doesn’t sanitize its characters. It lets them be awful. It lets them be human. And it trusts us to follow the emotional logic even when the moral logic collapses. That’s gutsy writing. That’s good writing.
I am obsessed with how absolutely batshit insane they are. Like, holy hell, inject more of these mind-twisting stories straight into my brain!
Now this is how you write a truly messed up psychological story. Absolutely gripping and disturbing in all the right ways! Definitely not for everyone, but if you’re into stories that crawl under your skin and stay there, this one’s a masterclass. Kudos to the author. 5/5.
Damn it, if admitting he’d ravish his dead body isn’t a thousand desperate, soul-shattering declarations of love, then love itself is a lie.
I don’t think there’s going to be a happy ending where these two are alive in the end. Chances are, AJ survives and Artemy dies.
Lol, I had no idea what the hell was going on until I checked the comments—because, let’s be real, I was too busy enjoying the totally legal reading experience this site provides. And yeah, if the author actually plagiarized, that’s bad. But I can’t get over the poetic irony of people on this site—the digital black market of manga—grabbing their pitchforks like they’re the last defenders of artistic integrity. These stories literally pay authors’ bills, and yet here we all are, comfortably seated on our high horses inside the house of theft. Hahaha. If she copied, that’s on her. But the moral outrage coming from this crowd? Absolutely unhinged. Hahahahaha
I wanted to love this as much as I did Path to You, which was nothing short of phenomenal. Yet, somewhere along the way, the narrative began to unravel, drifting in multiple directions at once while failing to fully commit to any. It’s hard to say when it started, but the pacing and coherence faltered, and by the time the story wrapped up, the ending felt jarringly rushed. This was especially disappointing after a hiatus of more than a year—it left me wondering how the story ended up here after all that time.
That said, I did enjoy the unexpected layer of complexity brought by Yoen and Vince’s history. It’s not a dynamic I would normally fancy, but it worked to add depth. I even prepared myself to be devastated for Arryka, loving Vince all this time while he had loved someone else first. I anticipated a compelling, emotionally fraught journey where Vince would truly prove his shift in feelings, making it clear that Arryka had his heart now. Instead, there was barely a struggle, barely any weight to his change of heart—it simply…happened.
It’s not a bad story, but it’s also not remarkable. Coming from someone who delivered such mastery with their previous work, it feels oddly unpolished and lacking the emotional resonance I’d come to expect. It’s difficult not to hold it against the standard Path to You set, and sadly, this one doesn’t come close.
My red flag? I actually ship this.
But seriously, no joke—assholes should absolutely end up with their fellow assholes. Haha.
