I started reading this because someone said it was like Killing Stalking, honesty this was so bad I wish I just reread Killing Stalking. The art was bad too, The facial anatomy was actually horrendous. The eyes were too close together and the midface was just way too long, in some drawings their mouth was drawn on their chin making the philtrum a mile long. The characters have no substance to them and I hate all of them except the trans girl. Obey Me had some rape scenes too and like everything else it was handled like shit. I felt repulsed reading them because it ... felt like the author was drawing them with one hand.
-------spoiler for the last chapter---------
The ending was so bad I had to write this review. At the very end, the mc gets kidnapped by the same guy and I think that is a cheap and stupid way to make the reader say "omg I can't belive that happened!!!! I need more". It's so stupid how did the gloomy guy escape from being held in custody, and how did he get a job at that convenience store while being prosecuted for kidnapping?? Is he extremely stupid what happens when the mc doesn't show up for court or when his girlfriend notices that he's gone, she'd be immediately suspicious of the gloomy guy because he kidnapped them both before. Gloomy guy also kidnapped the mc with other people in the store too, I bet he got caught immediately. This was actual slop thank god I don't have to read this anymore.

You can't put a Killing Stalking wig on, and be Killing Stalking...

obvious cash-grab after the rising popularity of KS, while trivializing its f*cked-up subject matter. Without adding anything new to the table...

There isn't much substance within the story and the characters, they all feel very one-note. You can't feel empathy for any characters, even the victims.

The only positive I could discern from this manhwa is that it has one of the only transgender representations in Korean media, weird that it's in the form of a side character in a f*cked-up Boys' Love manhwa, but the point still stands.

Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever read a webtoon as bad as this one. It’s so stupid and nonsensical it actually becomes funny at one point. It’s an equivalent of a wattpad story written by an edgy 14 year old who thought they just had the best idea in the world and no one had ever written anything as good as this.

I don’t think there’s really anything to say about this webtoon. Even trying to review it would be a complete waste of time, because the only way to improve this story is to just delete it altogether. The plot was ass, the characters were ... ass, the plot twists were ass, the sex scenes were ass, the artstyle was ass. And the pure exposition in the extra chapters felt as if I was reading author’s personal notes about this story, but they didn’t know how to convey this information in any way, so they just copy pasted it into the actual webtoon. Absolutely phenomenal storytelling. Especially the part when the MC tells the reader that even though he lost his memory twice, he still remained gay, and that’s precisely why he got a girlfriend. I refuse to believe anything in this story was written seriously.

Also, with the amount of literally the most direct and blunt explanations we’re given at the end, no one mentions who that blond chick actually is. It’s kind of implied by the psycho guy that she’s that blonde guy from the MC’s high school years, but at the same time everyone else says he died and neither the characters nor the story itself ever denies it. So who was she? No one knows, probably not even the author themself. The psycho guy told the MC that he decided to kidnap only the people who made the MC’s life a “living hell”, and then there’s this random ass girl whom he keeps in one of his rooms and it’s never even explained. It’s probably one of tons of inconsistencies and straight up nonsensical things that were brought up in the story just for funsies and never with the intention to explain them, but I just couldn’t care less to memorize anything else.

Anyway, I think that the fact that this story went through all those editors at Lezhin, got accepted and then published on a website where you have to pay real, hard earned money to read each chapter, serves as a good reminder that no matter how stupid you think your idea is, it’s still probably better than this one. So go for it, write that silly little story of yours and make your dreams come true. If this garbage right here got published, then literally anything can.
