I feel like I'm staring at an imminent mass car crash and even though I know how horrific it's gonna be, I still can't take my eyes off it 🙂

A Dark and Twisted Past
”Sangwoo has Bum at his mercy, blindfolded and naked. But Bum isn't the only one feeling vulnerable. As Sangwoo toys with his captive lover, the story of his father's death is revealed-and the unsettling truth behind his relationship with his mother unfolds...”

Killing Stalking is one of the most fucked up series I’ve ever read, and I still stand by that, even though it is so addictive that I cannot look away. It’s even more deeply psychologically disturbing than most of the extreme horror books I’ve read. This very much felt like a penultimate lead-up to the final book, which will be released at the end of the year. I know I could read it online sooner, but I’m enjoying collecting and reading these deluxe editions.

I have no idea what's happening half the time. I don't know if something is an imagination or reality. I'm not sure if the character I'm looking at actually is that character or someone else. Or if they really there in the first place.

This volume did really gross me out at several points as well.

Even though I hate to see it, I do find it interesting to see the reflection of Yung Bum onto Sangwoo. Especially with the physical injury that happens in this volume. Also, the mental spiral Sangwoo goes down and the total character redirection of Yung Bum's autonomy is fascinating, if not deeply confusing.

I'm holding out hope that there is an ending that I will find enjoyable.

Also, as a iykyk, how the HELL did he let her get away? And THEN let HIM get away? I'm perplexed. Are we just letting people walk all over us now???

I read this ages ago when I binge-read the whole series BUT now the volume is officially out so I can add it to goodreads:)

Poor Bum is really in for it now. And so is the officer. I will continue to relive this horror, but gods please read this with caution if you have triggers.

see my review for volume 6

[Andria · Rating 4 out of 5]

The more in-depth we get into their pasts, the more I can't help think about the age old question; nature vs nurture.

Real talk, I'm glad we got to see more into Sangwoo's past, and how it made him who he is today. Honestly, how can you not feel bad for him? She was a terrible mother. It would fuck with anyone.

4.5 stars.

Well, Sangwoo's past was revealed. And he is becoming more unstable and crazier while Bum is (I think) coming to his senses (FINALLY!).

That was a major cliffhanger, but I know the last volume will be a crazier ride....can't wait for it!

We finally get more info on Sangwoo’s past. His behavior makes a little bit of sense, but how is this ending????

Look away my GR friends 💀

Yes, a dark bl being one of the most insanely gut wrenching and engrossing reads of 2025 was not on my bingo card.

So many what the f moments happened in this installment and I can’t wait to see how this ends.

Especially, when Bum’s old school friend showed up. The scream I scrummed when that happened 😳 Like Sangwoo is going to unalive some people in the next volume. (And if it’s all in the name of toxic love is it really bad? 😂 jk yes it is, but idk how Koogi makes it seem “romantic”.)

Koogi does such a great job of making the reader feel bad for these pyshcos. Like they really can’t help what they are in a way, but also they’re terrible people 😅 Ahhhh why are they making me want to hug yet also turn these guys into the police 🙃

My poor baby....

[Vivian Lu · Rating 2 out of 5]

I wasn’t as intrigued this volume. I’m not liking this Sangwoo. I get that he has a tragic past and I understand the police chief is getting close but I’m not feeling it. I was a little bored.

[Viola · Rating 5 out of 5]

Між Бамом та Санву типу вже стосунки, і вже вони типу як зустрічаються. І вже діло дійшло, що Бам попросив називати його "малиш", і відповідно він так буде називати Санву. А у Санву травма на це пестливе, бо так його мати батька називала, а потім ніби спеціально почала називати і сина, коли вже батька кікнула. І тепер Бам помінявся місцями з Санву, і вже Санву чекає вдома на Бама. І Санву просить Бама не йти. І Бам знайшов собі якусь бувшу однокласницю з грошима, з якою він типу таємно зустрічається, бо йому гидко від того, що Санву назвав його під час сексу "мама". А Санву сидить вдома страждає і ревнує, бо в нього поранені ноги. Дуже хочеться, щоб Санву закінчив як і мав би - не мотузці. Але ще не відомо яка доля спіткала його матір, крім того, що вона скоріш за все також не зі своєї волі пішла з життя.
Імхо, все ж вважаю Санву трошки занадто упереджений щодо жінок. І це при тому, що він не гей. Те, що його мати намагалась зробити аборт, а потім душила його подушкою, а потім зраджувала його батькові, ще не привід робити висновки, що вони всі такі.
І виглядає поки як класично: типу поки ти своїх тарганів в голові не вилікуєш, будуть тобі партнери зустрічатись постійно отакі кончені. Це звичайно не факт, але поки виглядає з цієї історії, що так.
Щось про горе-детектива забули. А були ж сподівання, що він все ж його посадить. Єдине, що в його житті добре: повісився в тюрмі той чоловік, який підозрювався в убивстві його батька. Але так як нам тут також показують, що у детектива не всі вдома. І у нього, і у Санву, спільний знайомий, який за ними наглядав - це офіцер Квак, у якого його кровний син загинув. Це жесть як сумно.

HIS EXPRESSION OH MY GOD. I'm literally heartbroken, the things he's seen, don't get me wrong his actions are definitely not okay, but I can't help feeling sorry at how he was raised, a toxic household, an abusive father and a mentally unwell mother definitely didn't make anything better, he had to go through knowing his mom wanted to kill him, multiple times, I can't imagine what that would do to someone, how it feels to have the murder of your father on your shoulders even though it wasn't even his fault. he was young, influenced by his mother, she held it over his head.
also flinched so hard when he called Bum "Mom" during sex. like that's insane and I get why bum was so shocked.
UGH his mom looked so pretty why did it have to be this way??

[Mandee]

The seventh installment of "Killing Stalking" was replete with unexpected developments. The narrative delved into Sangwoo's life and childhood, his capacity to love Bum while being unable to reciprocate the feeling for anyone else, his attempts to express his emotions through hand gestures related to love, and his discussions about killing someone without actually committing the act. This was a poignant portrayal of Sangwoo's internal struggles and his desperate need for assistance. A figure from Bum's past made an appearance, a person known for her brusque and disagreeable demeanor but seeking forgiveness. As anticipated, Sangwoo's jealousy emerged, and Bum hesitated to accept the visit out of fear. The recurring motif of Sangwoo counting pills throughout his life is a tragic tale. However, for the remainder of the story, you may need to read the seventh installment and await the eighth, as it is something that I will not relish.

I hadn't realized that the new Killing Stalking volume dropped in August until I found it B&N. I snatched it up as quickly as possible! I can't believe there is only one volume left! Wild to think about because I have become a Killing Stalking fan as of April or May this year (2024). It's been a wild ride. Bum chooses/does some interesting things in this volume and I get it, but also it seems outside of his usual characterization. Honestly, I don't take anything in the manwha series at face volume because these people are all insane and need deep psychological help. I enjoyed it besides the weird characterization and Sangwoo's past is something else. I knew he was giving Norman Bates vibes and I was right. When called he Bum mother while they were having sex I was like WTF??!??!<

[MaguiWorld · Rating 3 out of 5]

Es realmente un torbellino intenso, desordenado, caótico, muy muy intenso, créanme. De manera desordenada y a la vez armoniosa, no muestra parte de la vida de Sangwoo algo que yo ya sospechaba y otras cosas que realmente te dejan helado.

No puedo llegar a decir que siento pena por el Sangwoo grande, el que vemos ahora, pero si del niño que fue en algún momento. Que terrible que sucedan estas cosas y que nadie pueda hacer nada para proteger esas infancias.

De más está decir que el Sangwoo grande tomo una seguidilla de malas decisiones y que claramente lo que vivió de chico repercutió, no lo justifico... En absoluto. Pero hay que pensar dónde comenzó todo

[Evangeline · Rating 4 out of 5]

Because it's been hard for me to keep up with the different volumes on here, I'm reading it online, I'll put the synopsis.

Sangwoo has Bum at his mercy, blindfolded and naked. But Bum isn’t the only one feeling vulnerable. As Sangwoo toys with his captive lover, the story of his father’s death is revealed—and the unsettling truth behind his relationship with his mother unfolds...

Okay, the blindfold is off, Sangwoo is officially going off the rails and this is not going to end well.

[Whitney · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this volume, we get to see a little more of Sangwoo's past as he descends into a spiral of mental and emotional distress.
Bum has even more ability to move on his own outside the home and is starting to possibly talk and act back, and we have yet to know if this is setting up for Sangwoo's demise.

The series is still raw and hard to read most of the time. It is amazing how well the author can get us as readers to feel the characters' torment. The art continues to impress me, and the writing keeps giving us twists an turns.
