the artist’s art has improved a ton since i read ‘Too Close.’ they’ve retained a lot of the same charm and their art is still easily recognizable. I really love seeing the mc’s from Too Close doing well in this
HAG!!! you are a TEACHER. he hasn’t even graduated HIGHSCHOOL. the fucking nerve to groom him, traumatize him and then STILL meddle in his life. fuck this dude
OMGGGG ITS FINALLY GETTING A MANHUA ADAPTATION OMGGGGG THIS IS MY FAVORITE WEB NOVEL I LOVE THIS AUTHOR
i loved this manhwa. like… really loved it. as fucked up as this entire story is, there was never really any “force,” in their relationship, other than jeoh being taken in the beginning… but even then… idk. i followed along closely as chapters were coming out, i reread it so many times waiting for the new season, i was genuinely invested in these characters lives and where things would take them; but i’m so disappointed now. the author made me love them, seongrok and jeoh, and then what? this? i can’t read what i know is gonna happen. i hate open endings, but i hate when authors change and ruin characters even more. seongrok is not a rapist. fuck that.
“is he some sort of philanthropist?” i won’t lie. this mf kinda funny for that.
I think I hate this story… how are you gonna paint Jeremy as the good guy, and Daniel as the bad guy for defending his family and Lucien. There wasn’t even a big change.. like the redemption was just being scared and upset when the person you treated as property was shot? And your apology is that you grew up rich and spoiled????? What shit
And sht
they had to show him FCKING other people while he is regretting hid actions??Ah that's fun
oh yeah, no confronting him for that it, so much left in the dark and forgiven
LITERALLY. Put him through forced exhibitionism, sexually assaulted him, physically assaulted him & attempted LITERAL MURDER. B-but he gew up wich
And yet we’re expected to believe he changed literally overnight… when there was no real apology… just “sorry I was born rich and told I could have anything so yk that meant I was justified in kidnapping and holding you hostage & raping you & try to kill you that’s mb”
YEA LIKE BRO KNEW UKE LIKES HIM YET HE KEEPS DOIN THAT SHT??LIKE BROTHA HE COULDN'T GET IT UP FOR OTHERS SO WHY KEEP DOIN THAT WITH OTHER DUDES???AND YA KNOW WHAT HE DIDN'T HAVE SEGGS WITH UKE BECAUSE UKE WOULD BREAK SOMEHOW YET HE DID THAT SHT TO HIM(MAKING HIM WATCH) IF THE SECOND SEME DIDN'T COME IN THE PICTURE HE WOULD KEEP DOIN THAT SHIT TILL HE GOT DOME ILLNESS AND ya know WHAT ANGERS ME MORE? HE'S JEALOUS OF others COMING TO UKE YET HE KEEP DOIN THAT ARGH
there’s a book by a japanese author titled “Goth” that this manga reminds me of.. i wouldn’t say that the book and this manga are similar, at least in plot, but the overall feel is the same. Goth is about a highschool boy who is very interested in true crime; though his curiosity is a rather dark one. he goes out of his way to find people committing crime near and around where he lives, not in order to help victims, nor does he do it to help police- he does so purely out of curiosity. anyways! this boy killing the bullies just for a date, and not for any other “moral” reason reminded me a little of the mc in goth. it’s a pretty quick and interesting read. the mc’s perspective is really unique. he’s very smart, and very manipulative with very skewed morals- just like this story’s mc. long winded way to say they’re similar lol.
He just witnessed the crime when it happens? Isn’t that just worst though?
what do you mean by “worst?” i don’t understand. and if you’re asking whether or not the mc in goth just witnesses crimes- yes and no. he finds murderers amusing so he goes out of he way to egg them on. he interacts with them for his own entertainment, so he’s not an innocent bystander at all.
welp, in terms of moral ofc. that’s pretty fucked that it peek my interest. did the bully in that story ever get ‘punishment’ or the would move on from the finished one with no conclusion?
i’m still a little confused, but you’re asking if one is worse than the other morally.. i’m not sure. the murderer in the manga is murdering to “help” someone, even if he has his own motives aside from “doing the right thing,” so it’s not black and white. in goth, the boy, while he doesn’t murder anyone himself, is not as morally grey. he’s just.. a bad person. like, he finds a dead body but doesn’t report it to police, he discovers multiple murderers but doesn’t go to police- he even turns a blind eye so that they can escape, his only real “friend” he has a sick obsession with. she's almost murdered multiple times and his concern usually lies with whether or not he’ll be able to witness her murder. the way he’s written, he’s definitely going to harm someone in the future. the book kinda just.. ends. there’s no real resolution. he just goes on with his life. if you’re interested, the book also has a manga. i just found out about the manga a couple days ago, and it’s pretty good! a lot easier to follow along with than the actual novel. it does leave out some things, but you’re not missing much. anyways, if the story premise interests you, i definitely recommend! it’s a very unique plot, and the main character is very unique. the manga is very graphic though!! more than this one!!!
