The Pawn's Revenge

Ongoing | Evy | 2019 released

ch.20 its kinda a KS fanfic but with less psycho and more gay. The art and plot isnt as good but its still reallllllly damn good. (12/2/23) ch.57 I just finished season 2. Waiting for season 3 now gosh. Its seriously good. I want their romance to develop even more honestly. They're very bonnie and clyde. But I feel, like everyone else probably reading this, its going to be a fall out and tragic end (this is ks inspired but more romantic so who knows). Obviously more people are going to die.. and mcs are continuing down a dark road unfortunately... I wish Je Oh would just be content working at a grunt job in another city while bf does manual labor so they could slowly rise up at work and disappear from the underworld and live happily together T.T 100% that one girl is writing her own downfall but not before she does serious damage. And unfortunately that cop will probably come out on top too after discovering how his brother was killed and possibly putting bae in prison. stupid cop I want him to fail and get transferred but i know he wont. Oh also i know my mans is going to be beating ppl up at work for je oh as a bodyguard since everyone wants his bf. And as a new boss je oh might start to get twisted with power... counting on mans to save him. I don't like this relationship dynamic shift T.T

The plot is so damn good so far!!! (12/07/2020) (12/11/2023) ch.70 I do regret reading up to here. I know there’s going to be 30-50 more chapter minimum with how the story is right now. Right now nothing will destroy mc. He doesn’t care about anyone, anything that happens to himself, he only cares about his love which is why the demon can’t win with how things are. There’d have to be big changes like mc actually really caring about the protagonist and then he kills her or she betrays him or something idk. Rn he wouldn’t care if she died tho (that much). Anyway it’s fucking amazing. Still 5 stars. Wish the translations were better or the art style was more my taste but those are small things this story is way top tier. The love story is my fav messed up type. And the plot is just so interesting and not typical. Quite unpredictable with a full range of emotions even though it has a bleak/ dark motif. A good Chinese one.

Wow. What a satisfying ending. Wasn’t expecting this kinda suspense horror psychological thing to be so fucking romantic and wholesome. Great plot. 3.5

the reporter sunbae is really interesting/ sexy. Hoping for more of him in season 2. A bit of a mentally tough read with all the fucked up shit going on with the villain character predator and MC's inferiority complex is a liiiitle bit pathetic/ annoying but I actually really like this because its so interesting, especially the love interest. Definitely a 10/10 for the psychological aspect I still can't figure out the main characters completely after reading the whole first season and I'm still surprised by a lot of decisions they make/ cant figure out what they'll do next. The smut is hot too and there isn't too much of it to kill the story either just a few scenes here and there. Really thrilling and mysterious mcs, disappointed season 2 isn't here yet (7/31/21) (2/25/24) just finished over a few days… the potential of the sunbae’s character is ripping me apart even though he’s so minor in the story I need him to have his own story. Overall loved it. Obsession/hate turned to love. It was amazing. The writing and characters perspectives were so so interesting especially the differences in those perspectives really made it fun to read. Smut in the first half was A+ but then the author decided just to focus on the drama which was fine bc the drama was fire. A really good story 4 stars for sure. I ship it.
