Checkmate — Chapter 73

Alright, diving into the comments for Checkmate 〘R〙 Chapter 69, it's pretty clear there's one character who stole the show... by being absolutely reviled. Prepare for a wave of righteous anger!

The overwhelming sentiment for this chapter can be summed up in two words: "Disgusting Park!" Readers are absolutely LIVID after getting a deeper look into the past and witnessing Park's actions towards a young Eunsung. The comments are filled with strong language, wishing various forms of misfortune upon the character. People are calling him an "old pervert," a "sick bastard," and expressing horror that he would target a student, especially while married. Many connected this flashback directly to Eunsung's later reactions, like startling when Soohyun tried to touch him, realizing it stems from this painful trauma. 💔

Amidst the fury towards Park, there's a huge amount of sympathy and sadness for Eunsung. Readers feel heartbroken seeing how his passion for painting and his university experience were ruined by this encounter. Comments like "poor boy" and "can't stop feeling bad for him" are common.

But it wasn't all darkness! Readers found moments to appreciate the other characters. The interactions and presence of Soohyun and the ever-adorable Shinhae were a source of comfort and positive energy for many, with comments praising how "cute" Shinhae is and how comfortable he feels around Soohyun. Some even joked about the chapter number ("Chapter 69") not delivering *that* kind of content, a brief moment of levity in an otherwise heavy chapter.

Overall, Checkmate 〘R〙 Chapter 69 seems to have successfully evoked powerful emotions, primarily driving the reader base closer together in their shared loathing for Park and their protective feelings for Eunsung, while holding onto hope for Soohyun and Shinhae. The general consensus? They're impatiently waiting for Park's inevitable downfall. 🙏
