Synopsis

Yoon Bum is a broken, beaten, and scarred human being, whose mental instability and loneliness have led him to unhealthy outlets for his pent up emotions. With his weakened mind, Bum has found solace in watching his handsome classmate Oh Sangwoo; Bum's love runs so deep, in fact, that he has begun stalking him. While creeping in Sangwoo's house one day, Bum makes a horrifying discovery—a torture chamber and a naked young woman tied up, gagged, and pleading for help.

The life of this woman is doomed, and Bum cannot escape either, as he is soon discovered. His eyes sickening and crazed, Sangwoo takes Bum as his newest pet and victim. What awaits the mentally tortured Bum is a world of physical mutilation, toxic dependence, and abuse masquerading as so-called love.

There seems to be some tension about the merit of Killing Stalking due to a toxic fanbase and relatively questionable content, so there are a few things that should be made clear right off the bat: Killing Stalking is NOT a Romance.

Yes, the series centers around a pairing is gay. Yes, it is sexually explicit. But it is NOT cute. It is NOT hot. It is not about the romance, if you can even consider it that.

What it IS is a Psychological Thriller manhwa that truly excels in every category, and I’ll be addressing some of the discourse surrounding it first.

Yaoi is a very read more

This review contains possibly spoilers. I remember reading it back in Early 2017 and following it till it ended in Early 2019. My opinion to it changed quite over time. First of all, the fanbase is probably one of the worst, most toxic ones I've seen so far. Shipping a Serial Killer, Abuser and Rapist with the victim is a big no-no. Fans, Sangwoo Stans and Fujoshis don't care though. Many of Sangwoo stans even went so far to victimblame the Character Bum.

The Art is probably the best one in a Manhwa I've read so far, but there were many panels were characters wouldn't have faces, or the Author would sometimes forget things in the panels. And while the Art itself became way better with each season, I prefer Season 1's art style over the other ones, it suits the atmosphere perfectly.

The Characters Bum and Sangwoo were deep, but I was amazed every time with how stupid the Side Characters and Police were. Also, Seungbae deserved more love.

Yoon Bum is the Protagonist, a pitiful loner type guy who is a victim of severe abuse throughout his whole life. I liked the way the Author showed how his Obsession slowly turned into Stockholm Syndrome due to Sangwoo abusing him. The Author also hinted at his BPD in the beginning and showed several symptoms throughout the story (Bum's self harming for example). I honestly just felt bad for him the whole time, he was severely abused and used like a sex toy his whole life.

Sangwoo is the second Protagonist, the Antagonist. I am really, really not a fan of him due to how abusive, narcissistic and homophobic he is and his Fans didn't make it any better. It's the Ted Bundy Situation all over again. I don't think that I ever despised a character more than him. Fangirls of his think that Looks=Good so they deny the fact how he kidnapped, beat, tortured and killed women or beat, tortured and raped Bum. I can admit that there was also more to him though, although it never changed my opinion over him, he was a selfish piece of shit to the very end and his death wasn't as satisfying as it should have been.

Seungbae is the Tritagonist, basically Sangwoo's enemy and the only one who could save Bum from his situation. He goes through some Development over the story.

Since it's a Manhwa, there was no Music of course, but I remember that the Song Deep Horrors was used for a specific chapter (Which was also my favorite chapter).

Overall, I basically have a Love Hate Relationship for it. Personally, my favorite season was the first one due to the Mind Games which is why I guess part of the reason why I'm giving it the lowest rating. First of all, many things were left unexplained till the end. Then there were characters who were forgotten for a majority of the Manwha (Seungbae for example, and another one). Many Rape Scenes felt like "Sexual Abuse Porn" for the Fujoshis. It also felt like that the Author was contracting herself for what she was actually going for, as some of the Special Chapters felt like Fanservice for the toxic Shippers, trying to put Sangwoo in a different light. And it's not just Koogi, but the fans as well. Best example is when Bum's Grandma is trying to excuse Bum's Uncle disturbing abuse on Bum, because the Uncle had a sad past. Koogi was literally pointing at all the Readers and Shippers that a sad past is no excuse for Sangwoo's crimes and abuse on Bum, but they all were either too delusional to catch that, or didn't give a shit. I think the Manhwa was special, but not only got worse with each season, but also had the wrong fanbase, unfortunately. I really wish that I could have given it a better rating because it was one hell of a complicated ride, but there were too many things that bothered me over time.

Story: Boring. The fact that it has 3 seasons is still a wonder. Everything could have been wrapped up in one season.

Art: Disturbing. The Author didn't need to shove rape scenes into my faces which only Fujoshis would enjoy. Yikes.

Character: Sangwoo deserves to rot in hell, Seungbae was right since the beginning and Bum deserved a better ending.

Enjoyment: Nothing to enjoy here.

Overall: Overrated and disgusting. Feels like the kink of a sick mind. If the Author actually gave 2 fucks about the characters or justice then Sangwoo would've gotten in jail and rot in there, Seungbae would have caught him way earlier and Bum would read more

I remember hearing about Killing Stalking for the first time from a friend who was obsessed with romance yaoi manga ... I did my research the next day and there it was.What an interesting manhwa i said to myself..
