▶Summary and recommendation: -----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a deceptively slow Otome Isekai story that embodies the Yandere trope. A romance story where the romantic interest is a psychopath who is obsessed with the main character.
It has pacing issues to the point where I can not fully recommend this yet.
▶Story: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The author tried to portray a very toxic and unhealthy story, and they have succeeded.
It is however very poorly paced. The entirety of the first season served little more than exposition. The characters are interesting and the plot is thrilling, but the story progresses
...
so slowly, that even after 60 chapters it is hard to properly judge it.
▶Characters: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the main characters in the story are mentally unwell. The manhwa's presentation of their illnesses are exaggerated but not so unrealistic that it is hard to believe. The author does a good job with making the creepy characters terrifying, yet it is hard not to sympathize with them, knowing what they have gone through.
▶Romance: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A commenter said "This is most ****ed up couple in Manhwa" and they are probably right about that. It feels uncomfortable, but intentionally so.
▶Artwork: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The artwork is for the most part serviceable, but sometimes fail to portray the emotions of characters well.
