What a crazy, twisted ride! Definitely not your typical Yandere tale. Even after finishing it, I’m still reeling from everything that happened. I never expected the story to take this direction, yet it completely pulled me in. Dark, intense, and unpredictably gripping—it’s an insanely good read, at least in my opinion.
I loved how the MC refuses to be a victim. He’s not the type to just accept his fate when trapped, Nor is he one of those characters who cry themselves to sleep, only to miraculously fall in love the next day just because they have no choice. He looks for every possible opportunity to escape, and I loved that! no Stockholm syndrome here!!!
It's hard to explain the relationship between the MC and ML without spoiling too much. ML isn’t physically abusive, he actually hates it when MC gets hurt. But he is EXTREMELY manipulative. The kind of sociopath who plays mind games, isolating you until you have no one else to rely on. He’s dangerously violent but never toward the MC. And I honestly feel conflicted about him. I hate him, but… not entirely? He loves MC in his own twisted, delulu way. 😞 If he weren’t so overpowered, I wouldn’t be this terrified of him. He’s like Homelander from The Boys and he gets progressively scarier with every chapter. A true Yandere in every sense.
I’m giving this a high rating because the story itself is compelling and engaging. The ending was perfect, and the way the MC described their situation at the end was exceptionally well-written. I’ve read plenty of Yandere stories, but most feel flat or unconvincing. It’s rare for one to genuinely surprise me. If you don’t mind dark themes, I highly recommend this

Non official title: Every Romance Leaves Its Trace. Length: 18 Chapters + 1 Extra (Epilogue)
I went into this blind because I love it when a book surprises me, so I had no idea about the setting or the plot. This was a ride for sure. The novel was definitely dark, but I expected much worse from some comments I've seen somewhere else.
It tells the story of Kim Euijin, a soon-to-be college student that suddenly gets involved in a bank robbery as a witness. The situation gets handled by another person, whom later is revealed to be Jung Haekyung, thanks to having special abilities. Euijin is taken by the military after they suspect he might have them as well and during this time, Haekyung takes a particular interest on him. Euijin finds that strange at first, but gets used to it until he starts hearing rumours about Haekyung. Euijin will soon discover there's something sinester about Haekyung's intentions towards him.
I enjoyed the background setting involving the military and how fucked up that world had become towards people such as both main characters. It introduces the feeling of being trapped from the beginning and sets the right tone for it since the story revolves around the whump element.
While the novel depicts a very bleak situation, it's interesting because MC has a strond mindset and tries his best not to lose himself in the middle of everything. ML is a whole different thing though. What a psycho. His descent felt organic and I liked how his behaviour started with little things and then he took it to another level.
I also found their dynamic very intriguing from the start. Even when ML was creepy from day 1, he still had me trying to guess what he would do next and that was thrilling. I had no idea about the direction the novel would take when I started it, I had my guesses but they weren't exactly right. I think their relationship becomes even more enthralling on that epilogue.
Speaking about the ending, my expectations went up because I thought it'd be pitch black. Although I don't consider it as one, it is still something that won't be erased from my mind easily.. What I enjoyed the most is that I found it fitting due to how the story develops and it goes according to the characters' state of mind. The epilogue in particular makes it even more thrilling because of how .
Given that I mentioned what I loved the most about it, I also wanted to mention some of the bad stuff: the timeskips, they don't work for me when I miss such important part of the story, which in this case was . It goes into the mistake of "showing not telling". We do get to see bits from the side tracks, but they mostly cut the continuation for me, not very enjoyable. Last thing is that there was a subplot I expected to get more developed but went nowhere, and it was the . There was a point where I was 100% sure it'd end that way, but it was forgotten, which is a shame because that would've make it more impactful. It already is, but I just wanted another push. I needed that really bad!
Overall, a great dark story. I will always appreciate korean authors for going agaisnt boundaries, we need more like this: well done and nicely wrapped up.

Before reading my review, I want to say that I don't consider this novel a romance, dark or otherwise. There is no romance here, just obsession. This is a dark, psychological novel. Please keep that in mind.
I loved this and I hated it. At the beginning, I thought it would be a "white knight saves damsel in distress" situation. As I kept reading, I realized that was not the case and that this wasn't an "obsessive love yandere" trope. This is a yandere novel -- just the absolute, extremely dark type.
Throughout the novel, I was so uncomfortable reading what befell the MC. Even at the beginning when he was experimented on, I just couldn't help feeling so angry at how unfair it was. It just kept getting worse when JHK (the "ML" or antagonist or however you want to call him) showed his true colors and began to possess the MC.
Reading this was, to reiterate, so uncomfortable. I love that aspect so much -- I love how realistic and emotional reading this made me. It genuinely caused me pain. Everything the MC did made sense to me and I was never upset with him or his decisions. My hatred comes from how unfair everything was, which I think was a big part of why I liked this novel. MC did nothing wrong. He never deserved what happened to him, but was caught up in something he couldn't stop. It starts badly and ends even worse -- from experimentation to torture and confinement.
This is not something for the faint of heart. Read with caution.

i loved the beginning arc of this story and the pacing was really steady. read this finished in 4-5 hours in one sitting. i don't think the ml loved mc, he just felt fascinated by the thought of someone "indestructible" at the hands of him - which is the mc.
what i dislike about this story though is the ending and sometimes the mc. it's bittersweet but filled with hopelessness and frustration on my side. i'd rather the mc fighting back instead of giving in to the ml's desires.
overall a good novel if you like extremely toxic bls with insane and cold-blooded mls who only show their "soft" side to their mc.

As a book? So good. Personal feelings? Good. So, I’ll give four stars to match the former.
This is a romance, yet not really(?) I wouldn’t recommend this to everyone, and ppl looking for a relationship story shouldn’t read this book. For ppl who want something psychological tho, go for this
