second volume ends with a three year time skip but third volume starts at just one year? why?? it would’ve been really nice to see the group more established, and the couple more firmly together! (also why a love rival????)
i have faith in the author but the things being introduced got me questioning
but I honestly thought this story was… not as bad as the constant criticisms written into the chapters made it out to be. It’s dark and horrible, but I like the insight into both characters in the story who have complicated reasons for feeling why they do. I didn’t think this was a romance and it doesn’t feel romantic; it’s two people who are broken and in an abusive relationship that’s, unfortunately, become codependent.
Wookyung got what he wanted and is fucking miserable, Minho got what he wanted and suffered endlessly for it. I find that interesting! Not enough to read it again, but I didn’t hate my time here while I read it.
