i thought the entire manga was just depressing and twisted, but honestly the ending was the cherry on the (sad) cake. usually you have happy wholesome endings to end on a happy note, although sometimes unrealistic. but here the older brother (haruki) just can't get over him and alas returns to the abusive relationship
I know the novel has more chapters and the webtoon is ongoing but I just want a good quality experience from reading the novel, but if the novel is the same as the webtoon then I don't mind reading the webtoon instead.
Also If you have the link to the novel don't be shy comment it!

This might be subjective, but I believe the novel is much way better than the manhwa. And I think most people who have read the novel would've think so too. Also, here's a different link in case you're no accustomed to reading on novelupdates:

Chapter 50 in the manhwa is chp 21 in the novel. You can use this link

the first story made me physically feel sick. In arabian countries, homosexuality isn't just frowned upon, it's literally like a death sentence. Also I didn't like seeing some things that just were not accurate at all. and the religion being butchered like that. There was also a panel where the sheikh said "inshallah" and that just intensified it.
this was a short webcomic, (35 chapters), so i wasnt expecting such a complex plot, but this story really made me feel like i was watching someones life in real time.
also i love how everything ties together and the different themes represented by this author.
overall depressing (but im into that), do not read if you're into cheerful bubbly happy stories.
10/10 don't know what else the author could've done. maybe explain the governess's past? she got an abortion right.... or maybe im interpreting wrong.
