This is a full 5 stars from me!

I have a weakness for the tag "weak protagonist" and this was one of the novels that fully utilized it. The fact that there is no tragedy tag made me feel like I was scammed in a good way, instead of being in the losing end— I felt like I hit a jackpot. Though there are some parts that made me feel confused, such as:

Spoiler

The ML r*pes the MC but MC blames himself? I understand that sometimes people who care too much about a person gets deceived/betrayed may feel violent; there is no explanation however, that excuses that behavior. I understand that the ML feels regretful, but still. It doesn't make sense how despite being cruelly treated by both the parents and ML, he has PTSD from the parents but not ML? Yes, ab*se can give you PTSD, but so can r*pe! He also has PTSD from the drug ab*se he suffered from the kidnappers and also from being stranded in the mountains but suddenly trauma doesn't apply to the actions of the ML?

Despite my opinion given above, I really love the story. I found reviews that rated the story unfairly and drove me to write my own. Yes it might be boring some times, but the story should have some normalcy. It IS a fiction novel, but it doesn't change the fact that if the story was more wild and out of this world— I would have become s*upid reading it. When I saw the reviews, I assumed it was because the novels you've read were probably not normal. And that's what's great about this novel, it shows the complex emotions of humans. You might belittle the MC for having such depressing/wandering thoughts but that's what some people experience.

Spoiler

I am still figuring out what illness causes MC to vomit/spew blood from certain orifices as well as amnesia/dementia but I suspect he has both? From what I've read, he has short term memory and frequently drinks alcohol while sometimes smoking.

Honestly, I think both MC and ML should go to therapy. And I want that b@stard ji-min's stalker de-d. The MC clearly just wants the best for ji-min and wholeheartedly tried to help him achieve his dream, he wants happiness for the other and nothing more. While the weirdo genuinely is something. I dare not say crazy because even crazy people are better than he is, it would be a dishonor to the people if I compared them to him. If I had to compare him to something? He would be those ugly worms with itchy fur that irritates people to the extreme.

Spoiler

I am not sure about the brother (sister) and their girlfriend, but I surely don't like them. If possible, I don't want them to have an appearance later on in the story. They did not do something extreme but the fact that they wrote the novel thinking of him in a degrading manner irritates me. What if my sister wrote a story where I was a lovesick and jealous man whose only purpose was to kneel for another and then killing me off despite protecting her from ab*se and took on many hits for her? Dare I say I would hate that person with my whole being. What do you mean I wanted to save you despite there being a huge chance of me dead and wanting to return to protect you only for you to betray me, write me off as some dog, and then call me crazy? Wow. What kind of person would do that??

[collapse]

I really pity MC and Ji-min, they have such pitying lives, of course the ML also lived a difficult life but can I really pity him if his actions border on black flag? Anyways, the story is not too toxic in my opinion.. I love it and hope the writer does not rush the ending. Thank you so much to the translator and author!

Very good story plot but very frustrating when you are into it and it stops. When is the next chapter? I hope we get a quality story instead of going on and on and on....it becomes tiring and expensive.

Good start but some story line was dragged out too long, it took them too long to get jack together.
