MC and her brother are surrounded by predators, and it's fucking sickening. The lawyer is despicable, the pedophile even worse, and the aunt's comment that the brother is "at fault" for his SA made my blood boil. He was, and still is, a child. The story captures very realistically how threats and psychological control work in an abusive household. The FL was conditioned to believe she's a burden, that everything is her fault. The brother, meanwhile, was groomed into thinking he was responsible for his own assault, silenced with threats, and forbidden to tell his sister.
Mc was forced to grow up too quickly, carrying the responsibilities of the adults who failed her, all while being resented for things she had no power over. Her baby brother, drowning in fear and trauma, turned his anger on her, the closest figure he expected to protect him. I don't blame him for that. But I also don't blame her. Being "the adult" was never meant to be her role: she was a child too, suffering through her own abuse.
And no, her pain wasn't limited to "just a slap" as some claim. The slap was only one glimpse of a much bigger pattern. Abuse doesn't have to be tallied like points in a competition, both siblings endured it, both are victims, and both deserve freedom from it.
Cool manhwa but it's NOT josei. I want to be able to use the tag Josei and actually find Josei manhwa, not seinen. The motherfucker who misplaces the tags, may you step on fucking LEGO
Why are you guys surprised Yul doesn't change in the end? He showed who he is, which is a manipulative, obsessive, selfish sociopath. It would be weirder if he magically became a self sacrificing (by letting Howoo go), selfless and truly caring individual after what we witnessed about him. Some of the worst sociopaths aren't born this way, not everything needs to be about a hurt ml with a plot that takes advantage of his abuse to justify and magically change him into a kind person despite committing some horrifying shit. People can have a hurt childhood and still be a non justifiable piece of trash. Yul always cared more about how HE feels not how Howoon does. Howoon's feelings come second. If Yul wants to own Howoon, he will regardless of how Howoon feels. If he wants to take he will. Be it through emotional manipulation or straight up threats.If he wants to destroy he will. What matters in the end, is what HE wants. I think a lot of us get lost in the clichè fairytale of a violent, dangerous and straight up horrible individual, turning into a misunderstood (who still committed the crimes he is accused of, but STILL misunderstood), deep down kind and caring prince who is only rough around the edges (i mean he still kills and rapes but UwU).
This ISN'T spoiler, just information regarding the items and beings the author's characters are inspired from.
Here you go:
<The Shining Trapezohedron is a fictional artefact appearing in H. P. Lovecraft's short story "The Haunter of the Dark" and Robert Bloch's sequel, "The Shadow from the Steeple". The Trapezohedron serves as a window on all of space and time. By gazing into it, its wielder would summon Nyarlathotep in his avatar as the eponymous Haunter of the Dark, as well as (possibly) the other Outer Gods. In exchange for horrible sacrifices, the Haunter of the Dark would reveal other worlds and arcane knowledge. It has been theorized that the stone offers a glimpse into the mind of Yog-Sothoth.>
The secretary is Nyarlathotep, hence why he keeps hold of the ring. He's probably trying to play a 'prank' on fl. A horrifying one.
Ml is a disgusting piece of trash that makes someone unrelated and unfortunate his and his mother's punching bag all because his father is demented. He disgusts me as much as his father. I hope he and his whole family just drops dead and leaves the poor woman and her brother alone. Fucking irredeemable.
The constant "oppa" and childish behaviour when she's 23 feels like this was written by a man. Incredibly cringe and creepy. The design screams "written by a man" as well.
Never in my entire life did i expect to see a romance webtoon with Azathoth as the romantic interest. I mean, why the hell not lol
"There can be no definite description of Azathoth, because everybody envisions him differently and he is always changing."
Also, he is called "The blind idiot God", exactly the way someone *cough cough calls ml in the story. Yeah, i'm talking about the secretary who is 100% Nyarlathotep, judging by his disrespectful behaviour.
Azathoth is basically the creator of all, he created all things existing with his thoughts. Fl is pretty much dating "God" in a way lmao
I'd tell him "Nah, considering you're cheap enough to ask around random strangers for sex, i'd rather not take my chances. I can do better than a whore with a big dick"
I feel so sorry for mc, everything threatens his position and therefore his life and he has to constantly witness the murder of innocent people as entertainment. He has no life, he just performs for that Amon bastard. I would have fucking died in his place.
Also, i think the pink haired dude was rizzing him up rather than looking at him antagonistically lol
Don't attack me for this but Kloff really reminds me of a more brutal, horrible version of Heathcliff from Wuthering heights, especially at the moments after the death of Aeroc.
Judging from the spoilers, of course this is from the same author of "Palace of Bardo" lol Get ready for a loooot of suffering
