No story

Not much of a story. But if all you are looking for is Stockholm Syndrome, then here you go.

Btw- ending is a little unexpected

This is nothing but gRAPE, manipulation, and abuse!

this is super toxic and brought up a lot of past traumas and probably created at least one new one. Truly nauseating. The art was nice, everything else was awful.

If you like psychopath seme...

This is a true psychopath seme with a Stockholm syndrome traumatic uke and a SML riled with guilt, wanting to help and not knowing how.

This really isn't my taste but there's some interesting points in the psychology of dependency and obsession but at the same time this is a little bit underdeveloped.

If you like handsome obsessive, possessive, redflag, psychopathic kinda, etc seme and got taste for kinda dark stories, like me, you’d like it. Since it’s short, it’s not fully fleshed out, or very well developed, also lacking a lil in storytelling, but it was a fun, quick read. A snack. 😉

There were things that didn’t make sense , or I found not very consistent with a character, but it’s just a webcomic, not a well thought out novel or a story. But again, not a fully fleshed out fic. But it had the potential.

I wish there were side stories of their new start. 👀 😋

I liked the ending. It’s good.

I try to know the endgame in love triangle stories before reading further, coz if it’s not my preferred one, 👀 I don’t read the fic then. So I knew who would be the endgame.

A frustrating tragedy

by saveyourself

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

This story is currently complete on Lezhin Español & I just want to save anyone else from wasting their time reading it unless you enjoy soap-opera levels of angst & bad decision making 💀 The plot makes every frustrating decision possible, only offering a brief glimpse of happiness halfway through the story, before doubling down on its own misery. Edit: I also just want to mention that I am a fan of many dark BL stories so my critique isn't about the themes themselves but rather the ways in which they were executed.

To summarize: the MC, Wooyeon, gets raped countless times, kidnapped multiple times, ends up with severe Stockholm Syndrome, (because of the Stockholm) rejects the 2nd ML that genuinely loves him, & through various manipulative circumstances ends up back with his abuser. The author clearly understands that their relationship is toxic, the ML will never show remorse, & that the MC is a replaceable object in his eyes... yet the only follow up is an Epilogue written in an alternate universe where they are the perfect couple. It's just particularly sad to think that in the main storyline the 2nd ML, Jinwoo, will forever live with guilt over his brother's actions while Jaeha presumably lives out his own delusional happy ending without any repercussions.
