can't imagine how conflicted ml is feeling rn. I mean yay for development but mc's actions are probably super confusing especially considering ml only recently decided to try and get over him for good
like i get that it's mc's "jump first" personality (idk maybe I missed smth) but he didn't even know ml's feelings towards the 'person' he mentioned that he liked, let alone consider the thought that maybe ml might not be open to dating hopefully I'm wrong and just overthinking it but if I know anything about slow burns, we're in for more turmoil and slow burning right when things feel like they're looking up

the art had me for a second but dang those spoilers saved me from investing into frustration

apprently its multi time lines and regressions and ML is consistantly a pos in all of them and MC just suffers through it all without much resolution w all the convoluted misunderstandings. ML has ulterior motives when aproaching MC in TL1 and is (arguably) even more egregiously terrible for different reasons in TL2 despite MC mitigating the main reason he was shitty in TL1. PLUS an absolutely asinine timeskip prior to the very end

I would be fucked up too if my bf's past bs is causing an entire guild to catch strays bc of one of the people he played. like no wonder MC is spiralling?? and Yoona, sure she got fucked over by both of them, but convincing an entire group of fans to risk a ban just to achieve your very public and petty revenge is just so embarrassing like girl there are a billion other ways you could have fucked w him and you chose the option that required doing the most extra shit?? c'mon she's too pretty to be this messy

can't decide if I wanna give this a read bc this story looks messy. all the comments are just praising ML's development but can anyone provide an actual objective overview of the relationship? trying to avoid stories that absolve rape with the "power of love"

In MC’s defense the ML did treat him very poorly on the beginning, abusing him several times, and ML even had a gf while he did all the shitty stuff too. In terms of relationships this couple resembles the one from “Hit on By a Kinky Guy”, where abusive seme has an insane character development but the uke remains oblivious to the change of ML’s feelings for a looooong time.

Yeah, it kinda feels monotonous at this point. But the art is great. And they aren't ignoring the ML/MC's past so that's a plus. Maybe it'll get better. Season 1 was more "action"; now it's kinda low-burn relationship progress. Maybe once they end up together (ofc they will that's the whole point); we'll probably get another "action" season probably about Mokhwa's ex-boss and Mokhwa having to chose between Naekwon and him.

yes once (iirc) at the beginning. as said he does get development but if you wanna avoid regardless then that's totally valid. u could also skip the beginning and jump to where he changes and act like the beginning didn't happen which some do i believe... up to you though. beginning's typical toxic ML but then it switches up crazy and now it LOOKS like a sweet slow burn...

For me tho his development is something you need to read from the beginning its a nice scene where you can see changes like crazy and it isn't made to be rushed but was meticulously worded. Honestly his development became a suprise and the art made quick work of portraying it. You will learn to love him ( eventually) he is doing better. :))
not even 5 questions in and clothes are already coming off this story refuses to be serious for longer than like two minutes
They have their priorities alright
