### Summary
Reader reception has intensified around the central relationship's unhealthy dynamic, creating a "war zone" in the comments. A significant portion of the audience criticizes Ja-wook for being "toxic to himself" by deliberately enduring pain and refusing to use his safeword out of a one-sided crush. This behavior is condemned as a dangerous and selfish misunderstanding of BDSM principles, as it prevents Gyum from learning his partner's true limits and could lead to trauma. Conversely, Gyum is labeled a "trash dom" and a major "red flag" by other readers due to a perceived lack of aftercare and the revelation that Ja-wook has passed out on previous occasions. This has sparked a debate over who is at fault: Ja-wook for his lack of communication or Gyum for his apparent negligence. The overall tone is perceived as dark and angsty, drawing comparisons to "Killing Stalking" and leaving many with mixed feelings of intrigue and concern. While the art style continues to receive praise for being "sexy" and "yummy," some find it "creepy." Amidst the debate, rereaders suggest that initial judgments are premature and that the narrative is more complex than it first appears.
