The third perspective

In depth story analysis (contains spoilers!) CW: Abuse, Manipulation, Dub-con, pseudo(?)... incest?? (Be warned, also not sure if thats his real brother or not but since theyre both a family by law, i assume i need to add it in as a warning.) . . I've always been curious about the title, i thought it has something to do about the saying 3 views. No, the title of this webtoon is talking about you, the reader. You're the third perspective. Most of the time, abuse survivors/victims aren't able to see what abuse does to them, and they always blame themselves for it thinking it's their fault for being so gullible, naive, etc. I like to interpret this whole webtoon as the author's way of showing this kind of situation in an outsider's perspective. What did you feel when the protagonist kept on blaming himself when it was clear the people, specifically his family, were the ones treating him badly? The author might just want you to know that whatever you felt for the protagonist is what you should be feeling for yourself, if you've also been abused. I felt like this webtoon was a very specific message for people going the somewhat same thing, those ridden with guilt. The s3x part i'm sure is only there to gain more readers, but it IS true some survivors or those being abused use things such as s3x, dr*gs and the likes as a form of coping mechanism or escapism, or etc. But it still is a reflection on how the abused sees themselves, and why they go lengths to "ruin" or "destroy" themselves, as the protagonist did. I know the ending seems rushed or inconclusive, but I'd like to think this is the author's way of saying that this is how the story ends for the protagonist. It's open-ended as if asking you, "what about you? what do you think about his story? what about YOUR story? the protag's journey is finished, now it's your turn. How will YOU end yours?" The protagonist has good head on his shoulders. As victims of abuse, sometimes it's difficult to discern whether it's love, or a dependency of some kind due to being denied love for so long. It's important not to get lost which is which, and this was presented to us as the difference between MC and the doctor's other partners. I hope to the people reading this to stay safe out there, and hopefully the webtoon can help give insight that there are bad people out there who will use you. But don't lose hope, as we can see from MC's friend. There will be someone out there who will genuinely just care about you the way his friend did for him, and i'm sure this is the author's way of hoping u find those kind of people instead. Whether the ending of this story was negative or positive, only you can tell. Because his story, is a mirror of your own story. Now it's up to u on what u decide to do next.

The ML(? Not sure if he is but he's the one in the cover) creeped me out and that never happens since I have a lot of tolerance for weird charas but this guy is being so "hostile" for no reason. He's acting as if MC is committing a crime when it's understandable why he would be desperate w saving his friends. It's too early to review this but if u ignore the creepy ML, the story's not so bad. It's giving me Omniscient Reader vibes. Will wait for updates~

Mayday mayday mayday!

TW: r@pe (spoilers: it was only said in passing but MC was r@ped by his relative), sexuality related trauma (from MC), hom0ph0bia (from MC's cousin) and violence (as expected w mafia stories of course) . . . (More spoilers) Other than the trigger warnings, this was more of a rom-com. This wouldv been dark had it been showed in someone else's POV but the author somehow made it work with making the scenes light-hearted enough. Some scenes feels a little dubc0n, but the MC himself said he wasnt forced by ML at all nearing the end of the story, so we can write it off as consensual. ML is manipulative, cunning and possessive, which pass him of as a little yandere, but MC is strong enough to handle him, and not as weak-willed. It's a good story and it ended pretty well anyways. I lowkey wish there'd be some side stories tho.

TW: violence (not sure if there's more to tag) . . . I stopped reading after 5 chapters, checked a little on the latest ones. I don't feel the psychological aspect, it's a little badly written. The timeline is all over the place, it doesn't flow smoothly. The premise is interesting but that's where it ends. There's too many flashbacks and sometimes a flashback within a flashback. I wish the execution was made better than this.

The Desire to Kill

This should have the tragedy tag (TW for violence) Butcherboy's done it again: same as "household affairs", good until the ending One of the most sadistic authors i've encountered, the story will give u a wild ride up until the unsatisfactory ending. It was really good tho, but you might want to just skip half of ch. 36 and the entirety of ch. 37

No no, if this is a promo *I* WILL DIE. Hoping it's not! It seems from the preview that MC needs to go to these worlds where she need to correct them? There's a male lead that looks like Ahin o///o crossing my fingers this isnt a promo! If it isnt, will edit this for a proper review!

Interview with a Murderer

TW: manipulation, dr*gged, murder, violence, etc. . 4.5/5, all loose ends tied up well from start to finish. The story is so good I love the uno reverse card by the end. It's my first time encountering a character like Clark, it's very refreshing. I feel a little unsatisfied with the ending but I know why it has to end that way. The secondary theme of the webtoon I believe is "love", and you can clearly see by the end of the webtoon who exactly loves who. An unconventional love triangle loop. Worth the read, highly recommended if you don't mind dark themes. (My fave chara has to be the chief inspector, i wish he had more scenes <3)

THIS IS SO CUTE!! BE PREPARED FOR CUTENESS OVERLOAD!! The art is adorable and gorgeous, and the story may be a common trope but the way they presented the story is interesting so far!! Our MC got isekai'd at a story she was reading before, and tries not to d!e from her terminal illness in this world. Since she gets married to the original story's villain's son, she thinks that the villain (or the duke in this case) deliberately planned her og body's death to make his son remarry the protag of the og story. But from reading this, we see that might not be the case as both father-son combo seems to care for MC in their own ways. Their gap is cute, our MC looks cute, everything in this webtoon SCREAMS CUTENESS!! Waiting for more chapters!!
