### Summary
Based on the premise of a Dom/sub relationship between Gyum, a known sadist, and Ja-wook, who is secretly faking his masochism out of a crush, reader reception for this first chapter is a mix of excitement, caution, and intrigue. The BDSM theme is the central draw, attracting both enthusiastic fans and new readers who express concern about the potentially toxic or problematic dynamics presented. While the art style receives widespread praise for its quality, a recurring point of discussion and speculation among the audience is the depiction of the Dom, Gyum, wearing a collar, which contradicts his established role and hints at a more complex power dynamic. This has led to conflicting expectations, with some readers anticipating a "green flag" story based on community feedback, while others brace for drama and toxicity. Comments from rereaders suggest the narrative is complex and rewarding, advising new audiences to wait until the end of the first season before forming a final judgment on the relationship.
