I really loved this healthy relationship a lot I gave it a 3.5/5 because of the motive behind the stalker and the rushed ending with the stalker was only like 2 chapters. All this build up and we only see him for 2 chapters. His motive was just because he can do it. But the stalker also did this with another writer prior. So I wish there was a back story on that as well. Overall cute and wholesome couple (:

The guy has a split personality, I love it. So far it’s good. If you’re looking for really really dark this doesn’t seem like it will be it. I mean yes the guy is still screwed up in the head and does messed up things and says messed up things when his other personality comes out. Decent read. I see a lot of people are complaining that it isn’t dark and boring. Just move onto something to your type of dark, no need to rate it a 1 star. It’s not a terrible plot or anything. And yes lots of smut scenes and SA too. The art is so beautiful too.

*** SPOILERS BELOW FOR THOSE WHO DIDN’T UNDERSTAND THE PLOT*** A lot of people said they dropped this but to understand the whole plot and to understand why ML is treating MC like a cat, you need to keep reading to the ending. Then you will realize it’s not ML having like a cat kink or a pet locked up for his pleasure or hobby. The beginning definitely creeped everyone out. But the last chapters you understand what’s happening and going on. You have to use your brain and analyze the plot because the flashbacks leave a lot out or just jump around back in time randomly. PAST: Jooin and May both had a cat when they were kids. Jooin just happened to name the cat May without knowing the MC name being May. MC forms an unhealthy relationship with Jooin when they were kids because of the abuse from his dad. So MC was always hanging out with Jooin at his house. MC is really jealous of the cat May because Jooin really loves the cat and is always looking after the cat. It gets to the point where MC wants the cat gone due to jealousy so only Jooin is looking at MC so MC takes the cat away and dumps him where he found him and that’s when we find out later the cat died when Jooin went searching for the cat. MC then offers to be a replacement for the cat and says “May is still here it’s me”. This is when the collar comes in to play, MC puts the collar on and hands the leash to Jooin. And MC is doing cat like things like eating cat food, jerky, etc. and MC says it better this way then how his dad treats him or feeds him. This explain why the story starts with Jooin treating MC as a cat and feeding him cat things and saying he thought MC liked these things it’s because Jooin was remembering how MC was when they were kids. CURRENTLY: Jooin sees MC again and I’m assuming remembers when they were younger . Jooin believes MC was taken away from him (I think MC moved due to the dad but not 100% sure I’m going off the flashbacks when it showed his dad taking MC away from Jooin). Jooin wants to save MC from all his abusive relationships and wants to be a better MASTER (remember when they were kids MC wanted to be taken care of by Jooin by giving the leash and collar to Jooin). Jooin blames himself for how MC is now because he wasn’t a good MASTER and now MC is being treated like ass in all his relationships. This is when Jooin abducts MC and treats him like a cat, he believes MC still wants to act as the cat May. Jooin finally realizes MC doesn’t want to be treated like a cat so he releases him but then that makes MC run away because he now things ML doesn’t want him (I’m not going way Into depth just read it). MC remembers his childhood and his time with Jooin. MC now understands why Jooin was treating him that way it’s because MC asked for it and MC now understands he made Jooin the way he is. Jooin really does love ML and ML really loves MC. Jooin realizes it later and goes back to the spot where it all began and tada they get together lol. In the story ML never makes sexual advancements towards MC because he doesn’t want MC to feel like he is being treated how all his other relationships treated him, without love and for sex only. The sexual advancements were initiated by MC. The side stories are cute though. MC really wants to have sex but Jooin is just too innocent lmaooo. Yes all admit there relationship with each other is not normal since they were kids. The whole thing just sounds messed up and unhealthy. Well at least they’re happy and love each other. The story is good if you actually understand it. Jooin only wanted to do what the MC asked him to do when they were children and to be a good master/person for MC. He wants MC to be taken care of and treated right.

This was a mfer master piece. It was so well written. It’s my number 1 in the psychological genre and Kang Moo was written so perfectly *chefs kiss*. The author definitely did their research on the different type of psychos. The author also uses references or quotes to real life psychopaths. We also get to see 2 other psychos in this story besides Kang Moo. Obviously not a lot like Kang Moo as he’s one of the main characters. People are comparing it to killing stalking but for me this was way better. You got to remember not all psychopath function like Oh Sangwoo. And not all these type of stories will be another Oh Sangwoo. Kang Moo has a high functioning mind, he literally can probably outsmart most people. He is brilliant, crafty and twisted. He knew he was a psychopath from a young age and even went to 5 different specialist who all diagnosed him as a psychopath. You can’t even approach this man unless he wanted you to approach him. He’s like 100 steps ahead of what anyone is thinking. He’s a brilliant mastermind. And it’s scary to know that there are people like Kang Moo in real life. If you pay attention to the story and plot everything he does was precisely thought out and planned there are no miscalculations in his judgment. It breaks my heart that Kang Moo has no love for Kirin because he’s a psychopath they don’t understand the concept of love and it’s been repeated that he can’t explain why but Kirin is his possession, his toy. So in a way yes he cares for Kirin a lot but he doesn’t understand it as caring or love. Kang Moo also does everything for himself first and then Kirin second, author also confirmed this on their Twitter. Kang Moo would kill Kirin if he had to for any of his plans or plots. Kirin is Kang Moos weakness and helps him to tame the beast inside him for now. If Kirin were to die he doesn’t know how to feel he knows he’d feel something for a few days and then move on in life and probably go on a murder spree. Kirin also asks Kang Moo to kill him first because he can’t see Kang Moo ruining his life before his eyes. I love how Kang Moo was sometimes being cute to Kirin even if he doesn’t realize it lmao but Kirin will be like shhh let’s not ruin the moment cuz he knows

It was a decent read not terrible but not the best. 3.5/5. I recommend reading if you’re into DID (multiple personalities). I really loved the MC reminds me of myself by being closed off and not trusting people. You honestly can’t hate the MC he’s so precious. I just want to hug him . Wish we got to see more of Ray, MC other personality but I know the author wanted a short manhwa. Ray is a bad ass and is the protector of MC. He’s MC bad side. I don’t know if I’d call it a bad side as to me Ray is protecting MC from trauma and abuse and kidnappings. It’s like his defensive personality. I did feel bad for Ray when he also wanted to feel loved by the ML. ML there wasn’t much going on there. I Liked the fact that he wanted to protect MC from the very beginning. ML was drawn to MC because of his shut out behavior and how he was treated in the past. I don’t like how the author made them like each other soo fast. You have ML who has been sleeping with a friends with benefit for 4 years and doesn’t seem like the type to care for relationships and then you have MC who has never been in a relationship let alone even having friends. MC definitely has no social life and doesn’t care for it. MC doesn’t trust people. But then all of a sudden they both switch up so fast and ta-da they like each other and sleep together. It was rushed. I feel like it could’ve built over time but again author didn’t want a long manhwa. But over all if you’re looking for a decent plot with a short sweet happy ending this is it. And the couple is wholesome

Wow this is actually good. I’m on Chapter 71 now. I’ll put a updated comment once it’s finished. Heavy topics. Realistic psychological themed story. About healing after going through trauma, SA and abduction. I love that it also has comedy here and there. Definitely recommend reading this if you can handle heavy topics.

Instantly added to my favorites list. I'm a sucker for psychological stories or dark twisted ones. This story is twisted and I loved it. The plot and the intriguing characters kept me interested the whole time. The ending was so satisfying when Clark killed Alex and the words Clark said to him. Alex thinking wow I'm dying by the person I love and Alex thinking Clark loves him so he can stay with Clark forever and ever because keep in mind that's exactly what Alex does to everyone that loves him. And then just to get his dream crushed by Clark's words and omg the face by both of them I loved it. Clark just pretty much said there's is no meaning behind this you're just simply being murdered and I hate you enough to kill you soo cold. Clark loved Oliver so much I wish Oliver could've seen that. It's pretty much obvious throughout the whole series Clark loves Oliver. Clark tries to manipulate Alex because he was doing it all to protect Oliver. Regardless I think Oliver would've died because he confesses to loving Alex and Alex kills those who loves him as he has major abandonment issues. Alex killing the people he loves means they will stay with him forever. So it's just heartbreaking that everything Clark did was pointless. But man Clark's manipulation game and being emotionless was beautifully written. Man is on another level of twisted himself but I genuinely loved his character. I'm glad Alex died, having abandonment issues doesn't justify killing people. And I was so mad when he killed Oliver because Oliver was such a kind hearted person. My poor baby Clark those last panels reminiscing about Oliver he truly loved him.
