*SPOILERS FOR THE END*
EDIT: Bruh after reading the last chapter multiple times I think I am in love with Kister. This manhwa is beautiful.
This BL is definitely has a better storyline than most. It's rare to see the scope of an author's plans from the very beginning. This fated pair truly had a tragic story, but in the end, meet at more stable points of their lives. At first, I was confused about why they had so much chemistry together. Why did Kister care so much about Jonathan? But, the author truly explained it so well. Usually, when things are revealed towards the end, it comes off as cliche and insincere; however, the author really did so well ;-;. This manhwa was worth the read. Not my favorite of all time, but definitely worth the hype.
The relationship Jonathan has with Robert isn't explained in the end. Robert was truly in love with Jonathan; however, the author purposefully molded it to where the reader doubts his intentions. I find it weird that the author gave Robert a small backstory that seemed like it would make Robert into a major character. It's just kinda weird. Nothing is explained. Why were Kister and Cicero so suspicious of Jonathan? Why is Robert so obsessed with perfection like the murderers? Why is someone so amazing like Robert in love with Jonathan? Robert is a character you cannot hate and can only love. These questions were never answered so it leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Another thing that was never explained was did Cicero care about Jerome? Why was he worried about Jerome being in the cold? Was Jerome his key to sanity? I had hoped that this would be resolved, but the author also cast Jerome's story aside. So again, bad taste in the mouth. This is all for critiques.
The manhwa did a really good job with suspense! I was always wondering who the true murderer was every single second. Everyone was suspicious but also not. I think this manhwa really helped me see murder mysteries in a more positive light.
I wish there was more epilogue with the characters. Half of me wants Jonathan to pick Robert (because he treated Jonathan so well and confided his dark side with him), but the other half of me roots for Kister (because he sacrificed everything for the one who rooted for him first).
What an amazing story!
