I feel like this story doesn’t delve into why soon enough because he’s already developing Stockholm syndrome this soon? Shouldn’t he figure out why he’s being kidnapped then develop Stockholm syndrome as a result of wanting forgiveness?
Am I missing something? In what area if he story do you see the development of Stockholm Syndrome? /gen asking.
Sympathizing as well as seeking your abusers affection and attention is usually a sign of developing Stockholm syndrome.
I’m not going to lie, I’m a bit annoyed his parents decided to have a kid knowing they were financially unstable, if they die then he’s been taught NOTHING except taking care of them so he wouldn’t survive outside life because he’s only used to being cheated out of money and violence. Knowing that he had no dreams except for surviving the next day and fucking a psychopath makes me feel so bad for him.
You do know it takes 9 months to actually have a kid? Maybe his mother was already pregnant before their bankruptcy. So it makes sense.
Yes i know how long it takes to carry a baby, I’m sure even rocks know that information. Considering they went bankrupt, had to take out loans from numerous sources to sustain their life, as well as running from loan sharks. I’m sure that happened longer than a course of a year. He was born there meaning they went there while she was in her later stages of being pregnant or she got pregnant while there. So it still aligns with her getting impregnated while struggling OR they somehow got numerous loans that only lasted 4 months which isn’t credible.
Also Chapter 8, page 45 further proves my case, he said that in the middle of their whole financial situation they had him during it. So they KNEW they were financially unstable before even having him because they were borrowing more money. But okay. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Having him can also mean that he was born at that time, that his mother gave birth to him.
9 months for a baby. 2 years for loan contracts to end in which they didn’t pay.
“Loan repayment terms typically range from two years to five years”
Meaning they had to move there during her last month or she somehow gave birth in the apartment the first day she moved in.
I think you’re underestimating loan contracts, it’s not just in a few months. It’s YEARS. Even if she was pregnant, termination or even giving up for adoption would have been better. Moving your child into a complex full of criminals and is basically lawless is a good idea to you?
9 months is a long time. Parents normally avoid having abortions even if their economic situation isn't good because abortion can cause many complications to the mother. So even if the mother was impregnated and then they their business failed. They might have taken loans to pay for their failed businesses in next 2 months. But then they might have realized that all that money they borrowed isn't enough to cover for their failed business. So they borrowed again. This time they realised that their debts were racking up and they had very little money so even paying rent was hard, now they might have borrowed money from loan sharks and small goons to pay for rent, bills and interests. So it's not hard to imagine that they finally had to move to the red mansion and uke was born there.
Yes “Loan repayment terms typically range from two years to five years” but they borrowed from multiple sources. They also had to pay for their failed business (investors, business partners etc.) All those interest racking up can make a normal person poor within 2-3 months. The mother was pregnant so extra cost was also there for various things pregnant women need (eg- regular doctor checkups, medicines, multivitamin pills etc.)
That’s the thing, it makes no sense for the loans to be paid up to the next two months? If they were rich I doubt they were renting, the time still makes no sense. Also, giving birth under stress is also bad on a mother’s body. Giving birth itself is hard on a woman’s body. If abortion isn’t an option, adoption is. You’re telling me that you’d rather have your child live with you in a complex that is full of criminals and lawlessness due to your situation? (which is not fault of their own.) Look at where that decision led him to, a suicidal young adult that’s malnourished who gets beat to an inch of his life for trying to get them meds and only can be entertained by writing delusions in his notebook and being facefucked by a psychopath?
I'm not underestimating loan contracts but borrowing from multiple sources and paying for all those interests likely caused them to go piss poorand there might be this reason that they thought that they were moving to the red mansion for just 1-2 months but they ended up not making the numbers and earning became hard for them and also their malignant disease popped up so... They had no other option left. Also I do not understand what kind of parents will Move their child into a complex full of criminals and is basically lawless people. But ig the author didn't think this through or there might be some twist in lster chapters about uke's parents...
Also people in Asian countries normally don't really give up their children for adoption. I'm from Asia and NEVER have I ever even heard someone giving up their child for their economic situation... I guess that's an Asia thing haha
I'm not saying it was the loans, I'm saying it was the interests which had them stressed. And interests from multiple sources are actually like slow poison so... Also the parents actually were not that rich but they used to be doing okay but now they're just dirt poor. Also adoption is not really a thing in Asia so... Ik it was a bad decision on their part but if someone in society knew they gave up their child for adoption, they actually would've become a joke and their life would have been complete hell because nody Asian people would actually keep on bringing it up.
I’m from Korea where they put babies they don’t want in church boxes, it’s not as unheard of here as well as many of the asian adoptees as well Korea being the country with the most kids being put up for adoption. Maybe your country is different. That’s why I’m saying, I understand the loan terms here, as well as the adoption system and the story is based on Seoul so I don’t understand where they went wrong. We have Jeonse so if they were renting, they were pretty much rent free 2 years, also korea has a great pregnancy system so her pregnancy visits would’ve been free as well as her medication, and they also pay you when you give birth and send monthly checks.
Also, he did mention they were rich in chapter 9 “According to my parents they were high rollers with a successful business outside of here.”
10 months is full term actually
Cool. Can't argue because I'm not from Korea.
But high rollers could mean anything. From a perspective of a dirt poor person, even a person who earns below average salary could be richer so... But let's drop it because I don't think the author was thinking this through. I've said all these against you because it's actually very hard for me to imagine parents doing this to their kids
NOOOOOOOO It's not 10 months, it's more than 9 but calling it a 10 is not right.
No 10 months is Full term, it’s just most deliver at 9, they won’t induce you until after 10months or complications
High rollers by definition is rich people but you’re absolutely right with dropping it because I don’t feel the author was really thinking about the parents background when they introduced them. I think it was just put there thoughtlessly to give them a more “despair” feeling you know? To really make the uke pitiful and show a huge contrast to the seme who has a successful family.
Yea cuz real life is more like that to most people
Her reactions are normal to an abuse survivor encountering her abusers, I understand the hurt but the author did a weird thing with the timing. They made her abusers move at such a fast pace while she’s slow burn so it makes her seem like a fool for being upset still while everyone has moved on. It’s not her fault of being sensitive but the author proposed a revenge plot when the mc still is grieving so it makes it hard to see her as a “strong revenge plot mc”. Especially compared to the stories with similar plots that have the same speed as this.
you’ve perfectly expressed how I felt about the story
Not going to lie.. I see why he’s easily used. He was still thirsting over him when he thought he had a girlfriend. He seems to only date for self satisfaction so he over compensates by being a yes man in the relationship.
I think they’re going too deep with the “middle school rivals” troupe, like it’s not necessary to keep them being combative especially since they’re dating. If it’s gonna be toxic like this then just put him with military-san, atleast he was polite.
Maybe it’s just me but isn’t it a bit insensitive to be whining and constantly saying you’re preferring anything other than being omega to your omega friend?
no fr i was thinking of that. he basically has the same stereotype as everyone else thinking that omegas are on the bottom of the hierarchy and doing the best he can to avoid being in that class
I mean they kinda are tho, like ppl put them down constantly and are seen as less human just like it is with women irl, it’s understandable he doesn’t want to be an omega because he obviously doesn’t want to be treated as less human and have to go through the struggles that they go through, i thought it was obvious but ig it wasn’t
Its like women saying they wish they weren’t women or that they wish they werent born as women to other women not for trans reasons but because of the way they are treated by society and how they are seen as less human just for being born with female genitals or identifying as women.
That’s completely understandable but telling it to someone who’s facing said discrimination and made it known to you that he’s happy being an omega even though it took awhile, you in return make it seem like being an omega is the worst thing to happen to you even going to the lengths of wanting to use an other omega to achieve your goal becoming the thing that omegas hate most to avoid it is weird. If anything take your anger out on your sister who caused this issue by
A. Sending you to your death.
B. Writing your character into an omega.
I never said he doesn’t have the right to not want to be an omega, it’s a reasonable concern but to cry about being an omega everyday to an omega is insensitive. The friends is aware that being an omega has its drawbacks but it doesn’t help that his own friend that he saved constantly shaming the possibility of being like him.
I prefer Tatsuo because Kouya repeatedly treats her like she’s dispensable. First was when he decided to date another woman because he refused to actually communicate, then broke up with her because he’s insecure. Tatsuo issue is that he’s emotionally unromantic but we can see he does things in own little way that people wouldn’t pick up on. I honestly do like all the love interests but I prefer her to stay with a man who doesn’t feel the need to be jealous of her.
I’m confused, why kidnap him to push the plan of killing almuten if that’s woo’s plan anyway? Killing him would only make it impossible to kill almuten. I’m not understanding the more unnecessary drama, they’re literally working towards the same goal no matter if they hate each other, it’s no damage to them if Woo and Yugeon die trying to kill almuten because then they didn’t have to risk dying to his superhuman abilities or if they kill almuten because it means less of their own people die.
Maybe I’m crazy but I wished when she nearly died that she reincarnated back into her original body that could’ve been in a coma and she give Lucas the chance she gave Leo, or have Lucas get in a coma and he goes into Leo so he can say what he wanted during their lifetime.
I was also thinking the same lines, either of them going to the other place some way or the other and have happiness even if it's not forever. I felt slight bit sorry for the blondie (can't recall his name) but this was what I was looking for, an actual obsessive, extreme and possessive FLAWED character who goes to that extent and even ready to break legs (of course non-consensual is a no go) getting a brutal death by the very person whom he considered precious.
Maybe I wanted FL to know how novels in thriller settings, even with romance could go very wrong if she wasn't too optimistic how Leo changed when she should have known that psychotic killers are good liars at almost every word they say. I admit I wept slightly but FL wasn't the type of person to cope with manipulative people. Glad she found her happiness her way and not restricted by the novel towards the end.
