Tl, dr: Super slow burn, unhealthy (currently improving) relationship. MC is an unreliable narrator, ML isn't as manipulative as MC thought. MC is naive but improve a lot, albeit gradually. I came for the plot (since I read the webtoon first expecting solo levling type of story) so it was a good read for me. The romance is very slow burn and frustrating, in fact, you probably shouldn't read it if you're only into romance and not thriller/horror. I think the romance only become "normal" in the 250-ish chapter, and it's still very unhealthy.MC seems excessively kind hearted and naive, but I think that's only in comparison to the rest of the cast, who has 10x the time spent in dungeon. If anything, in less than a year, MC already goes from 0 acting skill to manipulating people vastly stronger than him and standing up against ML.Also, MC is an unreliable narrator, he keeps thinking ML is looking down on him (which annoy ML), and that he (MC) doesn't deserve love. In fact, the "manipulation" isn't anything severe, and ML is actually a kind and insecure person.ML is dead and never date a guy so he is in denial all the time, which is hilarious. Most of the cast care for MC a lot, despite him feeling they are scheming to sacrifice his life if needed. Fairly multidimensional cast, although the bad guys currently have 0 redeeming quality.
