Okay but... So the ending is much less Stockholm Syndrome and more on Mindbreak tbh....like Stockholm Syndrome is where you go around telling people that "nooo my captor was actually so nice to us, can't you reduce his sentence at least (。•︿•。)". Like idk why authors call it Stockholm Syndrome when it quite literally is Mindbreak.

It’s called Stockholm syndrome because of a similar thing that happened in real like, a lady was kidnapped and held by her abuser until she fell in love with him. This happened in a place called Stockholm hence the name.Stockholm syndrome as a concept existed before the term mind break and is more popular in the urban dictionary. People are more likely to understand what you mean when you say Stockholm so authors use the term more.
TLDR: more people know what stockholm means, hope this helps(๑•ㅂ•)و✧

(● ̄(エ) ̄●). Unnecessary lecture time
“A lady held by abuser until she fell in love with him” That’s the mythologized version, what happened in Stockholm and the situation that coined the term -was a robbery with multiple hostages, and the hostages felt sympathy for the robber. And because society wants us to hate poor people, society scandalized the feelings of solidarity of the hostages to the robber. The robber’s name was
Jan-Erik Olsson
Society, the news and the FBI(lol) would rather blame a made up syndrome than actually consider the fact that maybe human desperation is something to be sympathetic towards.
“No our captor is a nice guy, who made a desperate choice because of society and me the hostage- the supposed the wronged individual genuinely hate that society is going to punish him further on my behalf.” So that’s what Stockholm syndrome was trying to define.
So in modern and fairer assessments and studies of Stockholm syndrome, is that it’s not real, simply put humans are meant to have emotional attachment to each other, it’s not strange to have feelings towards “abusers”, we are nuanced and capable of hypocrisy., abusers are just people who haven’t broken out of their own inherited cycles of violence.
Overall I just find it funny that this term is still being used within it context.
So I think mind break (the genre/trope) does make more sense as a descriptor for what folks often mislabeled as Stockholm syndrome. Closest real life alternative would be grooming, and fawning behaviour responses that are learned from violent environments. If you know another term, let me know I guess lol

All good, I probably needed a refresher on Stockholm syndrome for a while:D
It’s interesting how the language people use reflects more on the public perception of a situation rather than the truth behind it (lord have mercy on the alpha males lol).
Thanks for the lecture, I found your research very informative, and here’s to hoping that future stories drift toward the term mind-break :D (serious/friendly)

Man.... as a competitive baker, that cake must be soo good tho, like I imagine it'd taste bittersweet from the rock honey too. And then you add the yuja, so it's sour and bittersweet?? My mouth's just watering from the thought of it. Like dam I wanna make it so bad but they don't have the specific ingredients for the recipe so I think it's gonna have to stay in fiction for now. ┐( ˘_˘)┌

This the type of story I want in my life tbh.
Like please let me love all the men equally, why do I have to choose between multiple flavors of cakes when I can have all of them. ( ̄ヘ ̄;)

That's why I said poly AND open
I'm aware there's closed poly
That's like my favorite ship dynamic (my favorite ship is actually the 4 guys from ffxv being domestic)
Also I just mean to say that it's OK to be around and have men as long everyone is consenting
Nothing wrong with an harem either as long they are aware and consenting of it too

As a medical student, you make me laugh. Until the end you won't stop talking nonsense, you acuse people and then tell them that they were taking it to seriously not to mention the back handed insult of being homeschooled. For a stranger you sure do know a lot about me. So are you going to anwser which part was misogynistic or not, you know just to make sure that I or anyone in this comment want do it again. Use words that you can back up next time. Because of your setting I am not able to send this comment to you, so I will just leave it here.

You are throwing back only insults, and not trying to even have a proper conversation. You don't have to be so defensive you are the only one attacking, but you should realize how ridiculous you sound. Either way you are quite the hypocrite, after all you are the one that tried to sound cool by using words that you don't even know.

Also, I'm not the one taking random internet comments as seriously as a court case. You don't deserve a proper conversation bc it would be talking to a wall when you have no comprehension of anything I said in my earlier comments explaining it...so...how about you waste more of your time by replying...? It's not gonna go anywhere :>

You have said nothing, up until now you can't even explain your word choosing, so starting a conversation would be impossible for you, not to mention holding one. I have made my questions clear and simple, you just don't want to answer or should I say that it is because you don't know how to answer. So yeah obviously our "conversation" isn't going anywhere.
Deleted? I'm sorry, DELETED??? So does that mean my guy is a program in the game?? Is he AI that grew human emotions??? Did Bada make him grow emotions ??? This story is so wild bro , can't wait when I reread this in the future and see the foreshadowing bc the writing and art are delectable
