Joo Joo bastard is still as trash as ever, gotta give it to him for the consistency. I don't blame Kim Dan for his behaviour, his whole life has been on the run, he had to grow up earlier than most and his self esteem is bellow zero as a result. Joo trash though... Oh my God, he actually has his brain just for decoration. He's so narcissistic, it's impressive. The fact that he still takes advantage of Dan, despite clearly witnessing his condition, is another reminder that he's not capable of loving anyone else other than himself. He's 26 yet he has the emotional maturity of a baby in the womb, not to mention he's incredibly dumb, considering he had many clues, regarding a lot of situations yet he still behaved cluelessly. I guess he really fits into the all muscle no brain stereotype. His personality is genuinely so unlikable, that not even his looks could be his saving grace. He's incredibly crass and reeks of fragile masculinity. I don't understand how someone so unlovable could ever get redemption, he's trash even to his own team.

1) He brutally rapes mc, gets off his desperation and pain
2) He sleeps around and considering the time, he'd realistically give mc some sort of sexually transmitted disease.
3) He demands mc remains celibate, while he can sleep around all he wants
4)He doesn't give a single fuck about mc's feelings. He doesn't mind brutalising him in every way possible.
5) Theres zero redemption, only ml feeling bad for a bit since his little toy escaped.
The most likely unwritten outcome, after their supposed 'happy ending', is this shallow, cheap motherfucker getting bored, sleeping around again and giving his victim the sexually transmitted disease he didn't get to give him in the main story. I don't believe even for a second that their relationship became equal after they both confessed. The sad truth is that mc will never be able to have any bodily autonomy. Nor say over anything at all. That would be only realistic, considering ml is a pos with antisocial personality tendencies, that gets off hurting mc.
I fucking love mc, he deserves much better. This story would be 10/10 as psychological horror with mc truly escaping from this creep.

waaaitt is the 2nd point happened?? i’m still on chapter 8 on the novel though, 3 more to go before it ended but there’s a line where Ail said
“ "I will bring in a consort, as the Empire needs an empress. I have a promise to keep with Salina as well. But I have no need for concubines. And Ruth will not become part of the imperial harem. He belongs in the Northern Palace, and he is the only one I will consider as my partner. No one else will enter my chambers in the future." ”
did he sleep around during the time Ruth successfully escaped??

Nor did i state that he sleeps around after raping (NOT sleeping. It wasn't consensual) with ml. I expressed my frustration and what would realistically happen with a horrible individual like him. Never did i state this specific thing(to keep sleeping around) is canon. Except for the 3) part is is literally what i currently happening in the story. Please next time fully comprehend what i'm writing.

On chapter two we are momentarily shown the fountain pen (before we even get the explanation of how he obtained it) and right after we witness him gazing at mc. This is a very clear indication that he sees her as an object he wants to own. Watch him crash her enemies and loved ones (that don't return her affection apparently) equally, just for the sake of making her his possession. As i predict it, he won't even give a fuck about her career, if anything he'll find her aimless state preferable, since he'll be able to completely control her. I wouldn't call him a yandere, just a full blown psychopath, a collector.

I didn't interpret her extreme reactions as a psychopathic streak but more like the panic and desperation of a burned out and depressed individual. But she is definitely malleable in her emotional vulnerability, which truly makes her a prime target for ml. People with antisocial tendencies like him tend to choose targets like her, although in his case, it seems like he chose her due to some sort of aesthetic perception (her form as she stood in the rain), just like how he chose his other objects.

i was thinking about her dream in chapter 1 that could have been a flashback. the recent chapter shows him crushing the caterpillar with a rock but her dream in c1 shows her crushing the mantis that's trying to eat the caterpillar with a rock, as well. they both have similar facial expressions. so it feels like foreshadowing that she's either also got a crazy streak or that she'll kill the predator -him-.

This is so old yaoi coded i'm annoyed. From art with the weird proportions(this bothers me the least) to the usual trope of "Let's add a horrible piece of trash save mc from another horrible piece of trash to make the first trash appear better".
Mc is the only good thing happening in this manhwa.
Ml(demon) is literally no better in the least than the psychopathic antagonist best friend. If anything he's even worse.
Ml basically got punished over something he didn't do, with the demon brutally raping him constantly and even getting him pregnant on purpose so he can suffer. Ml is demented but what truly annoys me is that they end up together as if nothing happened, painting ml as the hero, despite being as evil and disgusting as the antagonist friend. This type of shit, plot that makes no sense whatsoever is extremely common in old ass yaoi.
Mc though, is a fine man, very intelligent and likeable. All these trashy people that get stuck to him should have ideally fucked off.
Mc:"You're not my lover!"
Demon: "Are you sure? we embrace and make love every night"
Yes sir, he is sure every time he screams for you to stop as you rape him. He has literally tried to kill you countless times to stop you from raping him.

I think you are focusing on the trees rather than the forest regarding my comment. The main point of my comment, is to criticise the overused plot and dynamics.
Also, regarding the 'demon', there are plenty of representations of it, since it's a fictional being. I can expect whatever the hell i want. There are countless of possibilities on how the plot could unfold. Are you new to the concept of having a having different opinion based on different interpretations?
If you like the story good for you. I don't for the reasons i stated. Now kindly move along and learn not to get so pressed over others having differing opinions to yours in fictional fucking stories.

This is too beautiful, i was so immersed reading itI love how instead of immediately romanticising a sea predator, it showed us that it was only Rosie who was anthropomorphising the mermaid in her head due to emotional vulnerability. I wonder how the mermaid will react once she realises that Rosie is actually helping her by stitching her tail. I bet after this she'll leave the village with her dad(despite her original refusal, she'll be forced to become realistic) and the mermaid will get the chance to finally leave the cave since her tail will get healed, and then we'll have a follow and chase mini arc

Mc is so innocent i want to hug him. It ripped my heart to shreds when he started crying about losing memories from his original life.
I kinda dislike ml on the other hand. It doesn't take a genius to recognise that he's a pos with attitude problems. He looks like the type to 'lose it' and beat his lover to pulp. The sex scene kind of made me feel uncomfortable.
People who call Kim Dan "stupid" and blame him for his self destructive behaviour are as thick, ignorant and insensitive as the Joo bitch.
