Was curious how bad it could get, pulled out raws, should've stayed curious.

Hey sorry for the late response! Do you read Korean? If so: https://toonkor461.com/3%EC%9B%94

Read the novel and the dude is a literal psycho, he doesn't feel emotions as normal people do which I mean can't you tell? Lol. Not saying these type of stories can't be good, it's can be fucked up but written well (beast must die is a great fucking example).
BUT THIS STORY! no! I did not like it one bit, janky pacing, really weird development (there is none tbh except uke running away) and the ending was.. meh, the uke goes saint mode, forgive and forget, amen. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Beast must die is good cuz Kirin was also strong and smart also comunicates with Kang mo as much as he can after knowing his mental problems but , where as uke in this one front of psycho seme who can't feel anything test his patience he cry but don't clarify anything and don't tell anything to seme story become messy with psycho or mental illness seme when uke is not strong or smart and just happen to cry at the end as fo readers pov it become fucked up and hateable.

We can't expect for every uke to be like Kirin for every psychopath x normal person dynamics.
Even doctors can't really pinpoint what makes people with ASPD(psychopathy) tick, and why they latch onto a certain person. Kang Mu wanted Kirin because he likes his strong and stubborn streak; for Lee Woo Yeon, it's because he's attached to Choi In Seop's innocence and softness. So, to each his own.
Besides, it's not like Kirin didn't suffer under Kang Mu's control.

But it's not that Kirin wasn't aware , this uke look for escape from his seme meanwhile Kirin look for Kang mo to escape from his misery and his psychopathic tendencies both stories are different Kirin at the end choosed Kang mo himself not that Kang mo kept Kirin as captive he gave him escape in middle of story but Kirin himself come to Kang mo and told wouldn't regret it cuz he helped him lot for his sister revenge, in this one there is no point in revenge uke come with it was useless and no point from the beginning it was selfishness of uke he just wanted a reason to come back to see his crush/love it he can.

"Kirin didn't suffer under Kang Mo", hmm, really...
1. Their first time having sex was dubcon, and in front of the same people who made his sister suffer.
2. Kirin asking Kang Mu several times to stop during the intercourse but KM refused to listen because Kirin made him so horny. Not suffering enough?
3. Kirin dragging his battered body to the clinic to ask for rape kit is not suffering?
4. Kirin having to constantly question his manhood everytime he bends over for KM to f*ck is not suffering enough? Kirin was straight.
5. Is it not a heavy psychological burden being privy to KM's killing tendencies? You dont consider that suffering? Trust me, it can be debilitating, especially if you care for thw person.
6. When KM almost choked the living daylights out of Kirin because he was about to go the deep end "isn't" suffering. Wow.
Kirin can leave anytime he wants--nope! That's not how reality works. Kang Mu orchestrated the entire thing in a way Kirin would be deeply enmeshed with him psychologically. That's why he was constantly testing the "hanging bridge effect" on Kirin.
KM's revenge was for entirely different reason, those POS destroyed and desecrated his perfect club. He could easily kill all 5 without Kirin. Kirin is just another pawn in KM's eyes to have a legitimate reason to kill. Have you forgotten how Kirin struggled with the realization with yow KM can be calculating? Or when he realized KM will never feel normal emotions like a normal person?

Wait Kirin knew what he was getting himself into either he gets fucked by bunch or Kang mo it's not that he didn't know what he is getting himself into and when Kirin enter that club it was sure without Kang mi he wouldn't have survived once he entered that bridge affect Kirin knew and constantly ask Kang mo about it later on u forgoy that the guy who liked Kang mo his mom hated Kang mo too so she would have hurt Kirin later on herself when they kidnapped Kirin and Kang mo goes to save him , kirrin suffering yes but it's not physical it's emotionally for me you are only sympathzing with Kirin is irking me a long Kang mo become empty shell at the end a person whose despite being suppress is same as someone addicted to alcohol or drugs Kang mo would never feel love or anything but yet he still need krin he become his archive wheel , do you revenge happen on flower patles that was one of most crucial moment for Kirin cuz police couldn't give him justice for his sister Kang mo got irritated by those guys he killed and just needed reason to kill them by fullfing his desires that story is entirely different Kirin has his own social circle people to talk and can go outside have a job it's not captive against his will be he wanted to be with him he knew what Kang mo used in him and yet accepted him at the end

Calm down, you're all over the place.
I didn't say I don't sympathize with Kang Mu. What I'm having trouble with is the following:
1. You thinking mental suffering is in no way equal to physical suffering. That's just so wrong.
2. Romanticizing what's between KM and Kirin. Never look at a psychopath x normal person's dynamics with rose-tinted glasses, the reality is far from it.
3. Kirin would have died without KM. Kirin wouldn't even get close enough to the club members if KM did not use him as a pawn.
4. Kirin later accepted the hanging bridge effect. Coming into terms with it does not remove the fact that it was psychological abuse. Oh, but wait, you don't consider mental suffering as true suffering at all ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
4. "KM saved Kirin from Mrs. Lim" he got him into that mess in the first place. And KM did not save Kirin out of the goodness of his black heart or his burning passion for him. It's because to KM, Kirin is his property, and so he has the sole right to decide his death or survival--just like a true psychopath.
5. Kirin has a social circle--so, what? Is he going to tell his close friends that his lover a psychopath and he orchestrated the death of 5 people? Pretty sure Kirin has no plans putting the lives of his friends in danger.
6. Lastly, and my biggest pet peeve, victim-blaming Choi Inseop just because he doesn't fit your ideals of a strong bottom. BIGGEST ICK, I'd say.
Look, I don't hate TBMD. I love it, in fact, it's in my top 10 manhwas of all time. Just don't romanticize it too much.

Excuse me I didn't said I victim blame inseop i think u didn't read my comment correctly I said uke here is not strong against his crazy seme that's what makes story miserable and negative in side for readers pov , you think TMBD made to consider one person only both person suffering on their own level but you brag alone Kirin suffering while both of are men in this situation and responsibile for their own situations and conditions oh come on you think i don't know what's mental trauma is biggest trauma for Kirin was to see his sister not getting justice he should get kang mo even punished the judge at the end whom handled the case of sister if u still stick to your so called "mental suffering of Kirin in rape and i victim blaming inseop " read again that seme here also have mental problems his own family didn't contact him for like 5 years after he come back to korea and he has to pretending to be normal to fit onto society to survive but for you "ukes suffering are more important than seme's " i got your so called hypocritical opinion on MENTAL ISSUES

Lol. Touch grass, OP. Something is wrong with your perspective. I bet you're one of those who'd rather freely absolve a psychopath of their doings because they're not right in the head.
I also suppose you know better than those who actually knows what enmeshment is like with people diagnosed with ASPD.
As much as I love KM and Kirin together, we also should acknowledge that Kirin was at a disadvantage. Just like how Inseop is at a disadvantage vs Woo Yeon.
Kirin can leave Kang Mu anytime--yeah, right. The only time Kirin can walk away freely is if KM lets him.

Kang mo never kept Kirin captive , he always put bodyguards around him to keep him safe also when kamg mo strangled Kirin neck he himself decide to have space between them to keep kirmm safe from his own self, you think I m supporting psychopath I m telling that's also mental illness and disability at the same time either they should be kept in hospital or have regular check ups on theri own self , you think I victim blamed which i originally said uke is weak against his crazy seme and story that's why looks miserable may be u need to touch grasses cuz u ain't making any sense cuz you despite reading beast must die don't understand characters much at the end just circulating basic stupid assumptions to satisfy your point which entirely makes no sense from my last comment

You comparing inseop to kirin already proved my point that you missed my words and two stories storyline at the same , inseop don't communicate with his seme despite many times seme ask him questions in story all the time half of time speak in head without using his mouth just keep his mouth shut and start crying seme can't understand him still he do and end up hurting him physically , meanwhile Kirin speak to his mouth and despite what Kang mo capable of doing to him. That's how characters are different from each other yet you still stuck to your mental illness i can't help u on that bro your brain is one own

Uhmm...you need to back read on your first comment bro.
You're the one who compared Kirin and Inseop. How the former was a strong uke vs the latter as weak--literally victim blaming. I, on the other hand, drew parallels regarding their situations.
I suppose Kim Dan from Jinx is another weak uke since he never stood up against Joo Jaekyung?
What do you mean stuck to my mental illness angle? You're the one who literally said we should give KM a leeway because of his condition, a.k.a. romanticize it(⊙…⊙ )
And isn't their personality disorder a major focal point of both story? How they interact, treat, and impact the people around them (especially the ukes) given their condition.
And FYI, Anti-social is a personality disorder, not a mental illness. Get it straight.
Help my brain how? You can't even properly answer well over half of the points I raised.
At this point, I'm not even surprised if I'm talking to a 16 year old.

You know what I commented that to main person why you come in between two people who have same opinion and brag about your opinion while I don't even want it in the first place i don't read jinx so you sound like 16 year old right now cuz u read jinx and drag jinx character here as well which is not even related to two stories wee discussed at all girl get a life obsessive over fictional character's mental health won't give you work and brain I m not 16 year old if u think i m that's your problem not mind ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

About my main comment see what I wrote again if u can't read it that's also not my problem again -
Beast must die is good cuz Kirin was also strong and smart also comunicates with Kang mo as much as he can after knowing his mental problems but , where as uke in this one front of psycho seme who can't feel anything test his patience he cry but don't clarify anything and don't tell anything to seme story become messy with psycho or mental illness seme when uke is not strong or smart and just happen to cry at the end as fo readers pov it become fucked up and hateable.
Read last line what I wrote from readers pov it become fucked up and hateable which I simply meant for readers if uke is not strong against crazy seme story become fucked up also.
If you still think I m denying damn girl do some yoga to have good memory

Read the half novel and my god.. lee has 0 backbone, now I don't how to explain this relationship, it's more like dependence and obsession, lee uses team leader because he gets affirmation and love he has been denied for so long and team leader is obsessed and possessive over Lee (yes this has some borderline rape-ish theme), now a lot of the "yaoi" stories have that theme, sure, but I mean like it's pretty gray story, sex scenes feels painful not just in manhwa even while reading the novel.
It is a twisted relationship that doesn't fall under conventional "romantic" relationship by any means, and personally am not a huge fan of it, one hand this team leader is into bdsm and Lee is like maybe a so-so and this is discussed in the novel as well, where team leader asks lee to try light bdsm- like bro what the fuck? Y'all already started it, done it, but u talk about this now?? Also the pacing, I am sure it isn't the manhwa's fault but how it's written? like Lee opens up about his family issue, the gang rape he suffered and his sexuality crisis and it was.. augh personally I really hated the pacing.
And when I saw the bullshit with his really big opening up scene and then it's followed up by asking to try light bdsm I was like, nahhh. Think I've read enough, the sex scenes are painful enough for me to be skipping to begin with. I did read almost whole lot of main story and nearly finishing it, side note there's also a whole lot of "ordinary romance" stories that I honestly have 0 clue what it's about bc this is being dropped in my special file case named the trash bin, feel free to read it though, maybe these "ordinary romance" is good or something
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU LIKE THIS STORY, WELL I HAVE 0 ISSUE WITH YOU, I AM JUST GIVING MY VIEWS, PLEASEEEEEEE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT PICK A FIGHT UNDER REPLIES SECTION SOME MANGAGO USERS BE PICKING A FIGHT FOR THE SAKE OF IT (⊙…⊙ )
Yes this spoiler also has my opinion inputted, if you don't like my opinion, okay? agree to disagree, don't pick a fight in the comments cause then your a child and should leave the site.
What was I saying? Ah yes! Who would've guessed that 'toxin' was a 'toxic' bl! Aha aha - get the joke-? Yea, it was obvious? Cool.
Yea no I don't know what I was expecting? I was like "ohhh another novel bl adapted! lemme read it! I beg this to be something different! and not a damsel in distress! And not a MC who loses his backbone! Kill the villain! (yes I consider the emperor, 1st ML as I call him here to be the villain) and get in with the 2nd ML!" oh you hear that folks? That's my ass asking too much! That never happens in a bl story! (Except few and this was not those few)
It's a classic yarn, and I don't wanna spoil too much but yes, there's the psycho who's obsessive, yes! there's the running away scene, yes! the MC has sex with the 2nd ML when he runs away, yes! the 1st ML finds him, yes! there's the classically dramatic cliff and gun involved, yes! The MC ends with the 1st ML, because thumb rule: 1st MLs never dies! They're fucking cameraman of the universe, yes! MC saves the 1st ML from the toxin "why? Wasn't that the whole plot point?" And to that I say "Because", and bags the MC, yes! the MC and the emperor fall in love because
fucking, always works
classics! You know what's not classic? The hinting of incest! The 1st ML and his mom (empress dowager) is hinted that they slept together, ML apparently did so willing? and the ML cut his mother's belly open and killed her because she was preggo??
(●(エ)●) *Wtf did I read..?*
No I thought I went insane, gone mad from so much brain rot bl! So I read the English translation too and it was also- *implied*.. hey plus point you can call the ML motherfucker and not be wrong..
I mean besides the weird hinting the story is.. predictable, I do like how things didn't
magically turn out good between the 2 even if they are in "love" and together, to that I say "why the fuck are you with him?" And yes the emperor did kill MC's mom but he's killed so many horned species because.. he's insane! can't express emotions normally and just finds it fun? He runs with a purpose of 'just cause' because he don't function normally, right he also names our MC but I ain't revealing what.. yet and yea the emperor does feel bad for killing them and confesses it- AT THE LAST CHAPTER OF THE FUCKING MAIN STORY!! WHAT?! WE WON'T EVEN GET SATISFACTION OF PAIN??. But hey.. yea, I don't even know what joke to make here? It's so fucked up, bye.
Also DO NOT fight in the comments! I'm a busy man (that's a lie) but I genuinely hate people fighting under my comments
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Dammn thanks for the heads up btw, i think I'm dropping this. I'm too close of dropping this off, and reading this spoiler just save me from wasting my time.
Thanks a lot, I'm not gonna waste my time with this shit anymore
( ˘ ³˘)
Oh sorry! I wrote 'he also names our MC' by 'he' I meant our 2nd ML does name him, sorry I didn't properly clarify it.
( ̄∇ ̄")
Lmao i am gagged by how disgusting the Ml is, good thing I was thinking “how bad is this?” And read everyone’s spoilers and comments
mm let me be more specific.. so are they endup together yes? mc and the psycho ml? are they happy together?
I'm sorry but I don't think someone who is abused as a child by their mother would willingly sleep with them knowing full well what the consequences are. Maybe in their head it's "consensual" 'cause they've been groomed and abused into thinking it's OK to have that type of relationship with their parent, but I don't think Garon, as a kid or young teen, was like "yeah I wanna fuck my mom 'cause she's the hottest bitch around."
It could be a mistranslation or a misconception on your part since you are clearly not mature enough to drop something you obviously can't stand to read.
Also, you can drop a review or synopsis of a series without sounding like you're going through hysterics and trying to be the "funny guy." Most of us reading this and having civil conversations are old enough to file our own taxes or raise our own families. No need to treat people who haven't even interacted with you yet like a bunch of petulant children.
And yes, this *is* me starting shit in your replies 'cause I can't stand people like you who can't just leave quietly and feel the need to belittle those of us enjoying ourselves while we continue reading.
Grow tf up.
Yep!
It's again *implied* that they might have, it's neither confirmed or brought forward again (least till the main stories I read and extras is something I'm not touching) and it's taken from literally 2 paragraphs this mentions it, and yea grooming is never consensual but the "willing" part was me roughly translating what the Korean translation said in English, sorry my wording made it sound off.
Also okay? Sorry you find me trying to be "funny guy" and trying to make the readers into children? XD if you like reading it, okay? You know it's funny how you come to my opiniated comments which I clearly stated in the beginning and bring not just your opinion but assumption of my life just because you don't like what I have to say ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I'm not old enough to get married but certainly not young enough to not do my taxes,
Also if you like reading this, fine? I don't know why or how badly I hurt your feelings by what *I* felt about the story, and I don't see where I wrote anything to shame or belittle readers? If anything I'm making fun of the plot. Your taking this way too personally.
Your opinions about this manhwa is irrelevant to me, like how if you disagree to what I feel about this manhwa should have been irrelevant to you, but instead you feel the need to say your opinions in my comments to belittle not just my opinion but me as a person, I just think that's silly, but it may just be me being too young to not have to take out family frustration at a random person online, over a yaoi manhwa. :3
Like the manhwa= cool
Don't like the manhwa= cool
Butt hurt over someone who likes or doesn't like it= Thistle
sigh.. im glad at least i can continue read this with relief, thanks.
Oh my god, I didn't see the 'happy' part I mean.. I guess? They are together but they still weren't per say happy, there's a lotttt to resolve and the story, least in the novel made that clear, the emperor does feel bad and our MC tries to teach ML emotions as a "reward" system I guess? Ml also went to the village couple days in a month (I might be wrong about how many days) to pay respect (again he did kill them so ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭)
Idk how happy you would term it but I mean it's not all bad, least in main story, the extras are something I didn't really touch because I wanted to be done with the story, so hopefully the extras it's lighter
oh how sweet of u.. im still glad as long as they're together, thanks again
