this chap is super sad cause when you want to kys this is how it feels. right in the cold ocean, thinking of other things and feeling entirely numb. poor dan. maybe he wanted to leave with granny, even though she's not gone yet those are his subconscious thoughts. He needs grief counselling so bad
It's so satisfying to see Garon all crazy tbh I kinda wish they had a fight to the death and that raonhiljo would win. I love when the underdog fights back
Some ppl are super defensive about this story and believe every critic is "vanilla" or a child, but the writing isn't even that good. I've read fanfic that had much better exploration of trauma through sex idk why this is the standard but the bar is in hell. It's an okay and entertaining enough story, I can see what it's trying to do, but it is inconsistent and leads the plot in certain arcs only to unsatisfyingly change its direction/aim/mood. If this is your standard for a bdsm story then that feels sad to me, cz bdsm is treated like nothing more than bad and scary sex in this by both the mc and ml it feels a little repetitive. I read to see if there's character development but it's a bit slow, so I'll probably drop now.
prosecutor nam took a toll on MC's self esteem or something cz he's so MEEK. I feel bad. He looked so cute with that wriggly little fox pup on the beach in his dream.
I don't like student X teacher but atp I'm not liking Jiheon a lot and the professor looks more interesting, so Wooju x professor ig
Is there a novel? Does anyone have the link on booktoki?
damn I feel bad for our MC bc he's so kind and soft... and meanwhile alphas are crazy in this universe. But then again I'm sure he'll give a pass bc it's his kidnapper and abuser getting the shit beaten out of him like he deserves so...
I always come back to just cheese at Mr Kwon teasing Yeon-oh in the bath and then massaging his head so lovingly after... he has a semi smile the entire time in that chap and I kick my feet and giggle cz FINALLY u can see how much he loves Yeon-oh and being around him. He was a fool for not appreciating him sooner.
"so my pain didn't matter" is where he lost me. This is such a broken way of thinking and the story never gets into it any deeper than sex. It's also cringe to use impact play as a substitute for genuinely wanting to punch something. It's a trauma response to think he needs to take care of other people's feelings above his own this badly, and I know it's the intention of the author so I'm not saying it's unexpected, but it's kinda crazy that it doesn't ever get addressed even in the MC's own thoughts.
Mr Han's "I regret it" speech is insincere, I would rather he was just honest that he can't offer any better and doesn't want to bc he likes that the MC is bending so much for him. I'm sure that's what the MC wants to hear anyway. That Mr Han likes him exactly this way. Some people with trauma like Seodan process it by letting their partners use them as a sex toy. Re-enacting the powerlessness and dehumanisation is like an addiction for them cz they're tryna rewire that traumatic experience into something else. So Seodan wants to hear that his partner just wants to use him exactly like he's offering
The MC fantasising about the 2nd ML ("his fresh forest scent") only for Garon to swoop in and to something toxic and possessive... nice storytelling. The change in mood hit me with chills cause the sky turned dark red and Garon was all quiet, and the MC went from light and reflective to nervous. Garon is suffocating but the MC is always hoping for a little more from him, while also wanting the 2nd ML. Regardless of how fucked up, the way the author tells the story is quite good. I'm sad MC only got to enjoy the feeling of liberation for a few seconds alone before he was reminded of reality. Poor babe.
this is so cute but damn min joon's ass suddenly got thick... his mom really does feed them good
Really like how masculine but cute the MC is. They have good chemistry but they're both a little dishonest in approaching each other lol hope they work that out
The story is interesting but I still don't get what precisely the issue the MC had with the ML, and how it got resolved... like why did he go from crying and blaming him to admitting his feelings to whatever this truce is... I don't get what even happened?!?? Where did his hatred for bdsm go suddenly. He just screamed at Mr Han once and Mr Han didn't give a real answer so why did their dynamic even change I feel like this story made me dumber
a classic in my house forever... the quality of the art, the ups and downs, the heartache and drama. it took me through so many states of being. and now we know they both like getting facials I don't care about the plot holes they don't matter
wooyeon is insanely horny and freaky, i think he should just give up being a celebrity and become an omegaverse manhwa author
saying you would trap someone with pregnancy is wild and that too after confining someone and taking away their phone and passport. The way he knew the uke was kinda delusional and bet on that when he told him his secret is SOOO manipulative... We need more wooyeon pov, he's so deeply unhinged
why was this so good. ilya and sooya and tharju make the best team. it was a little fast paced but otherwise good, I'm glad they didn't drag out the identity reveal.
