Welp! It looks like we’ve got a mystery to solve, gang!
Sadly one of the comments spoiled it for me
Started off really nice, but man the pacing really took off at rocket speed from chapter 8 onward. Which led to this feeling rushed, which it shouldn’t have since it’s 11 chapters. Should have been more than enough to say whats necessary. I think the author trying to squeeze in a cliche, last minute reunion with the ex really hurt this. Even the situation with the mom was wrapped up in a seemingly comical way that doesn’t fit the tone this started off on. Think this one had an editing problem overall.
A smelly, hairy, dilf hole with hemorrhoids you say? Don’t threaten me with a good time!
An incredibly beautiful story ruined in the third act by some fuckass yakuza characters. We really didn’t need some cliche “greater evil” as a threat in this. That’s the beauty of psychological stories, the evil the MC is facing in his own head is enough. The Choi guy was ripped write out of some Saturday morning shounen anime, complete with evil monologue, lackeys that fit every cliche henchman role, and a mysterious illness or some sh*t that gives him plot armor and leaves him unkillable by any of the other characters. Quite disappointing. Wish the author could have found a better way to conclude this.
Only 8 chapters in and we already have the “someone immediately gets sick after a fight” cliche lmao
Both of these ukes are extreme energy vampires. Run run run if you encounter similar personalities irl!
I love this chapter. It’s a great example of how self loathing and internalized hate never just stay to yourself. Eventually it seeps out, and others are affected by your sentiments and attitude, even if unintentionally. It’s good that he realized it.
