heh a lot of that included in a novel, tbh MC should just die from sepsis in a first month of that story, medically this story sucks and the first ending is a real one for me

ML is just a flat, mentally unstable, one dimensional abuser interesting only as a source of torture for MC, but MC's stages of hope, resilience and later on resignation were interesting to read. <<less

It's going to very very graphic with a lot of violence. If it ain't your cup of tea then please leave. It's a story about " love" of the mentally ill. All characters are pitiful as hell and yet the story makes you read more of it. It's like that Korean manhwa killing stalking. Nothing good is happening, everything is wrong and yet you keep on reading because you are morbidly fascinated.

There are a lot of bad representations of mentally ill people. So take everything lightly. Enjoy reading it.

For all of y'all wondering if you should read this:

it's all in the description,

For those people who want to start reading it because they like yandere bois: (or think they do)

if you're looking for something fluffy where the seme is simply possessive and is really kind and loving towards their ukes (ex. Luo Binghe from Scum Villain) or something like that, if you're looking for the seme literally just loving the heck outta their lovable uke, DON'T READ IT. Like honestly, this dude is full-blown version of... more>> what yanderes are described as, and a lot of BL these days have their yandere bois as little fluffy dogs who will kill everyone else but never even hurt the uke unless they're raping them (and they usually even apologize after or something) .

This yandere is full on yandere mkay guys. If you can't handle gore, blood, wounds, or that sorta stuff, don't even try.

Yes, I see you there, naive little readers who think they might be able to read this because they like yandere bois. Just think twice before reading it, or just read the prologue like actually.

While I was reading this, my heart just highkey hurt for the uke and the crap he's gone through and is currently going through.

Welp, if you decide to read it, good luck haha. <<less

Everything is said in the prologue. Everything.

This story is about a love that is Tyrannical, Sickly and Tyrannical, a love thats hard to comprehend. This entire story is just to make you understand that there love is twisted one. Deep to the point of crazy, unyielding and stubborn, twisted and possessive. Both too passionate.

a Sickly Tyrannical love

... more>> The seme is crazy.

The uke is crazy to love him back.

It's been a long time since I've read something that delves deep into possessive love. To Cansheng the only way someone can love him is if they can never leave. No one should be able to love Cansheng unless Cansheng holds them so they can never fly away. But yunsheng is determined to show him that he loves him;even if that destroys him he will save Cansheng from himself. This is story is just the right amount of angst as you watch two crazy people get twisted up in each other.

Spoiler

This is not a tragedy! Though literally everything in the book points toward that ending.

I made an account just so I can review this sh*t book. To start off, I know this is not a romance, its a tragedy, and yet this book can't even do that well. Now where shall we begin? What Ye Cansheng has for Fang YunSheng is NOT love. I have read books with violent lovers. Hua Hua You Long is one of my all time favorites and if you have read it, you know how violent it gets, despite that, its clear that Jing loves Lu Cang. Ye Cansheng... more>> claims the same thing, yet he has never proven it. Love, is when the other persons happiness matter more than your own. I'm not saying Ye CanSheng become obedient and listen to everything Fang YunSheng says, that is not his character. However, he refuses to bend even the tiniest bit. When has he compromised? When has he allowed himself to feel bad just so Fang YunSheng can feel good? Never. He just wants a live puppet that he "loves" locked up where he wants so that he can keep him from "running away." News flash b*tch! He was kidnapped and r*ped for months. Not only that, he also rips out his Achilles heel from his left foot, which only got sewed back on because his other injuries were too great. That never healed properly so he already has trouble walking. Not only that Ye CanSheng also wants to rip out his right one! What an amazing lover he is. Fang YunSheng takes the gamble that Ye CanSheng really loves him, and if he proves his love for Ye CanSheng then he won't feel so insecure. This is understandable, so now the author had two ways she could go: 1) Make this a romance and have Ye CanSheng compromise because he LOVES him and not rip out his right Achilles because Ye CanSheng know how much Fang YunSheng loves to walk. If he did this, even if he never let Ye CanSheng out of the room again in this life, I would consider it a love story, because Ye CanSheng was willing to make a compromise. For the happiness of the person he loved, he couldn't do what would hurt him the most. 2) Make this a tragedy and have Ye CanSheng take out his right Achilles, but she couldn't even write the tragedy correctly. Having lost his gamble it would have been right if Fang YunSheng died when it got removed, it would have truly been the best ending since Fang YunSheng truly did not want to become disabled like this, but no! He lives. Then the best thing would have been for Fang YunSheng to kill himself. This is the first time in a book I truly wished a character to kill himself, just to put himself out of his misery. If he did, not only would he be free, but he would also have gotten his revenge on Ye CanSheng. There is part where he says that if Fang YunSheng died during Achilles Heel Removing Massacre, then he would have just frozen his body. "It's fine as long as he can see [him]." Yeah you do that, have fun with a dead body. Any of these two ending would have made this book redeemable to me, but no our author wants to go a shittier route. Not only did she keep him alive, but she also made him accept what happen and just live the rest of his life loving Ye CanSheng because its the best option he has. Ugh NO! You want him to live? Fine, but why make him "love" Ye CanSheng. Author says at the end because he is forgiving, but darling author, even the most forgiving of people have their bottom lines, and this was Fang YunSheng's as you kept portraying. If Fang YunSheng was willing to give up walking for who he "loved" that would have been fine too, but that clearly was NOT THE CASE! Then why, pray tell, why, would he give Ye CanSheng what he wants? He has already lost everything, why not make the person who made him do so, miserable. And again at the end the author says "nobody died" so its fine. Are you kidding me? Author, you do know there are things worse than death right? Fang YunSheng is the perfect example. So I guess my biggest problem with this book is that its not logical. If it had followed any of the paths described above, I would have been fine with it, but the way it went, its just not realistic. <<less

•Supposed to be psychiatrist MC that is being controlled and played all over again by the 'high IQ' and his 'poor patient' ML

•MC has no self-respect and a complete masochistic simp, ML is a sadistic, yandere, sociopath who's an extreme butt-f*cking machine that's gets off of breaking MC's bones and carving his name in his body.

P.S I only read the last chapter because I thought the ML would even get a bit of redemption or the MC would recover one fourth of the braincells he lost and finally snap out of it and just commit su*cide but meh, nothing happened. The ONE STAR is solely for the translation group who did an excellent job!

Damn I'm crying so much.. I mean.. Who won't honestly? Peoples who can read this novel from beginning until the end deserve an award including me. One thing that drive me to the present chapter probably I look forward to different ending. Even though that ending still a twisted love ending but at least voluntary from the captived part. Another is probably I feel frustrated to the MC's lack of explanation and ML's lack of patience, I always wonder what happened if MC answered ML questions this way or that... more>> way maybe it brings out a different ending? Instead of push ML away, what if he accepts him from the beginning.. What if he told ML he loves him from the beginning, what if he just let ML do whatever he wants from him cause as you know the more he disobedience the more he feels want to torture you.. ML is really selfish he only think about how scared he was MC leaving him but yet does he ever think about MC's pain? One more thing if ML said his mother hurt him cause she love him why can't MC tell him that what his mother did wasn't love it never will!! I feel like the grave mistake MC ever did was when he told ML his mother hurt, torture, lock him in dark room cause she loves him.. I'm like whaaaattt??!! He should have tell him the truth and promise him he will show a greater love than his mother or maybe he could say what his mother did is only 50% love while I will showed you my 100% love that is you need to treat person you loved kindly, tresurely, lovingly.. MC.. Dug is own grave honestly I feel like that is a death flag like no other MC affect ML a lot more that's why after he said that I feel like only storms coming ML will forever believe violence=love <<less

First of all, don't read this novel if you're looking for a sweet, fluffy love story. The novel is pretty twisted and the main lead is basically a yandere. I like this novel, because of the struggles between the main character and the main lead. The story is pretty deep as well. You should read this if you like yanderes. If you don't like it, just don't read it. No need to give it bad ratings. I might change the rating later, but for now I'm leaving as it is... more>> to balance out the negative ratings. <<less

The story starts out at the end. From the very beginning you know the sick direction this story is headed. And personally I love it. The author brings great depth to the characters, and if emotional torture is your thing, the author will make you feel enough of it to satisfy you throughout the story.

Not for the faint of heart. Bring a tissue box or a pillow to cry into.

This is the embodiment of a true yandere. Not those lackluster characters that only threaten with words... yanderes are willing to hurt their love to get what they want. In the end, they are selfish and self centered. Never forget that.

Ugh, though it's not the first time I want an MC to die, but this story really just makes you wish for a main character to immediately end his/her life.

Also that guy from Hong Kong gives me the creeps. He even went so far as to kidnap MC like that!

I clearly sympathise with the MC, regarding that ML didn't even gave him a chance to explain this and just directly rendered his crippled. (It makes me want to go into this novel and slap the hell out off him, though I immediately though that I'd be dead meat if that happened, sigh.)

The moments between MC and his dog really make me feel light-hearted, though after this is I'll remember that this is a freaking dark and sickly tyrannical novel.

[collapse]

Overall, you can't help but anticipate the next scenes to come as the scenes will render you to the edge of your seat.

A good novel for ones that needs novels that is psychological with a twist of BL. This novel is just full of mentally-ill people and you can't help but want for more fluff scenes. <<less

Don't like it when the uke acts all naive and s*upid, but you want the ML to be neigh abusive to him? This novel is perfect for you, because the MC has decent IQ and all the abuse he's put through is not because he wanted it in the first place, but because the ML is so f*cked up he r*ped, kidnapped him and spouted out all the good, cheerful things that trigger stockholme syndrome. Bonus, he gets into this sh*t 2 f*cking times by 2 f*cked up male leads.... more>> Seriously the story is basically the MC suffers even though he tries to struggle, even when he tries to accept his fate and cope. Literally no god damn ass happy ending for him unless he dies.

It's so f*cking depressing, both male leads are a**holes towards the MC, its hard to even say which one is the greater evil. But if you enjoy the MC going through a sh*t load of torture, this is for you!

(more of my opinions in here)
Spoiler

Oof, this is pretty grim. There is a lot triggering things. The story involves the MC being kidnapped, r*ped and abused by the male lead. It doesn't dare try to romanticize this - the situations the MC goes through because of his 'boyfriend' are horrific, and utterly saddening. There are some cute moments around them but it's quite clear even in those that the male lead has incredibly low empathy and that the majority of the time he disregards the MC's feelings. It's very tragic, as all the of the cast has some sort of trauma with depth as their backstory, MC included. Do not expect a happy ending for this novel, the best possible scenario where the MC gets a happy ending is when he breaths his last breath.

Do not treat this as some random garbage yaoi novel that's only written to fetisize the situation. It's much more than that.

Sickly Tyrannical is the very book that I would love to read over and over again. Although it brings me pain and I've shed tears, compared to YunSheng and CanSheng's sufferings and pain they give to each other, mine are trivial. I was incredibly thankful that I continued reading it and did not accept that death is the only way for YunSheng to attain his freedom. I'm glad that I continued reading instead of stopping and had accepted that he's dead. Because I know that even if he's dead, CanSheng... more>> won't let go of his body. His abnormal possessiveness and obssession will not let death be the end of their relationship. CanSheng is definitely the type who will rather freeze and preserve YunSheng's body in a glass rather than bury him six feet under the ground. I think I fell in love even more because of the author's note at the end. Ahead of CanSheng and YunSheng is a th**ny road paved by CanSheng's violent love and YunSheng's acceptance and forgiveness that will continue to hurt each of them but at the same time will make them stronger. <<less

torture p*rn + abuse fiction

It takes the word yandere and uses it in the most accurate & intense way possible. I love a Vinegar eatin ML who preserves used tissues and beats up ppl who touches his love as much as the next person but our ML here is the actual meaning of yandere, only he can touch him, only he can hurt him.

true possessiveness to the extent of literally considering MC as a toy he can brand and twist as much as he wants, because he belongs to him... more>> so why cant he?

ML is at complete fault here, but there are certain instances where I cant help but face palm
Spoiler

When MC still wants to escape he gets r*ped in his office, gets sad about how no one could hear him scream for help, then in the next sentence tries to think of excuses to tell the principal in case he asks why he hasnt gone to work - like, my dude, you obviously want to get away, so why are you trying to hide it from the one person you have contact with that can actually call the cops and help you get away? 0 brain cell I swear

[collapse]
.

On that note ML legitimately scares me, more so than any other 'villain' or abusive ML character, because people like this actually exist. The typical possesive/yandere ML we see in Cnovels are complete works of fiction - but the ML here does things that people in real life have, and are constantly doing - those cases where a young 20 something year old goes missing and turns out in some old guys bedroom as a "s*x s*ave" are more than similar to whats happening to MC - the love combined with (genuine) abuse, the twisted way of thinking - its all wayy too similar to actual criminals that exist/existed and that scares me. Will be looking behind myself when going on walks a lot more frequently for a while, thats for sure.

It gives you exactly what it says it will give you in the summary. The writing is fairly good, and the characters are somewhat memorable (before they "dissapear" anyway). Just dont go into this (like apparently some reviewers have) thinking itll be the typical "im yandere but its actually just me being jealous" Cnovel, it says youll get r*pe, s*xual abuse, and abusive characters and youll get rape, s*xual abuse, and abusive characters. At that point the blame is on you for not listening to the literal summary, tags and genre <<less

This is NOT a comfortable novel with nice, easy going personalities. This is a tale of many, many messed up people, the gong and the shou, especially. It is easy to say that they don't love each other, but I don't see it that way. They understood each other the best they could, given the circumstances and their personalities. The shou is not right from the get go and I think that they were both parasites in personality and society. The way the scenario plays out, it is easy to... more>> see that they are two peas in a pod. Even when their relationship started becoming more s*xual and they started understanding the situations a little better, they are still very much like two peas in a pod, though extreme two peas in a pod.

Stockholm Syndrome and Lima Syndrome were in full effect, here.

About the time the story started going darker, it was beginning to be too much. Both of their minds were snapped by that point and the crap they do to each other was just plain bullshit!

One needed to be ruthless, one needed to be loved, and neither was equipped. I think that's the true crime of the story: If they weren't so mentally and emotionally messed up, I think they could have worked! And that stepfather thing was just--damn creepy--

I will never figure out why some authors who write stories like this feel compelled to tag on a happy ending! I wanted to watch what they would do to each other, and for each other in the name of this so-called 'love.' If it had ended with them mu*dering each other, I would have applauded wildly, but at the same time, what the author wrote made me feel as if they were lovestruck, destructive first-love teenagers, despite their ages. And what kind of person takes on a case like that just out the shoot!

Bullshit! Both were batsh*t insane.

Good god! I loved it, despite wanting to chuck sharp things at the two.

I liked it. This gave me mixed feelings. Just BEWARE, DON'T READ IF YOU'RE SENSIBLE. It's not everyone cup of tea, so if you'll read this, prepare tissues. Now ma' opinion:

It's all in the description. MC is an amateur psychologist, ML is a mentally ill person, well I mean, he sees love as something that's expressed with violence and hurt; they meet, and MC says to ML he'll cure him, but at the end none of it happened. It wasn't ML who change, but MC who had to get used... more>> to that violence.

Though the first 55~ or so chapters are the most enjoyable and "fluff" for MC in the history, so enjoy it while it last, I felt this part was a bit out of reallity though, compared with what the story is...

MC personality is stubborn, so until the end, where he is finally in going mad, he'll have some hope to still hang on ML 'cus he loves him, there were moments where I couldn't get his love for the other, it's hard to see how he suffers, but even if MC doesn't love ML, he won't have the chance to scape from ML's hands.

After 70~ or so chapter things will get pretty bad, I mean bad, since the ML won't restrain himself like he did in the 55~ so things will get bad.

In the middle of chapter 55~ and 70~ there are other things happening with MC, which make him get separated from ML, and in chapter 70~ they get together again... not a good thing tho.

MC gets pityable, it hurts much more emotionally than physically, at least for me, since the life he wanted with a lovey-dovey relationship, can only be achieved with the reincarnation circle. So after chapter 70~ or so don't look foward to see how the ML gives him sympathy or restrain himself, even if it means MC dies.

A totally twisted love, more like a parasite. But thinking clearly, I never blamed the ML, he's like that, he lived in his childhood what MC is living now or worst, so I don't blame that illness of his, nor MC does, for sure.

I'll just say I cried pretty bad at the end, reading 'bout his state of mind and, imagining the gap between the life he is living and the life he wanted broke ma heart.

This has two endings, one where those (like me) fullfiled the wish of MC getting his freedom again, by the only way it could be, dying. And the other where he won't die and awake from the sleep he should have died in, to live his life expecting nothing while he's staying besides ML, even the hope of ever stepping out of his cage is gone (*╯^╰).

Though it was what I really was looking to read, not fluff, but I still gave 4 because I didn't fully liked the gaps in ML and MC's personality in some aspects, and the story in some parts. <<less

Well, I don't like this much of dark theme but this novel just conveyed what can or could be called as realistic. It shows you that sometimes love ISN'T all that pink bubbles stuff, it can be destroying. When you are f*cked up to the point of losing it, you won't want to believe such an illusionary thing such as true love. Like when fate plays with you in every single possible way, when you have experienced every ugly side of society, you won't believe that a good thing such... more>> as love exists, but because of momentary satisfaction and happiness, you will be attracted to the word 'love' like a moth to flame. you will want to achieve that short lived satisfaction on the expense of more insecurity, you would want to keep it for you even if your object of affection or you yourself are destroyed. This type of morbid love isn't conveyed to see your object happy, it is for yourself, for your own momentary happiness. Like how can you ensure other's happiness when you yourself are trying to stay sane with great difficulty.

So nor do I blame ML for being inconsiderate in the most extreme way, nor do I blame MC for behaving like a doormat. It's the attraction, infatuation, sickness, morbidity that compels them to behave that way..... They are just suffering souls who don't even know how to properly love cuz, they CAN'T even fix themselves, so they aren't even in position to consider more. Their only thoughts are "how to keep this happiness for a little longer" or "Nobody understands me. He also won't."

We can't expect anything like 'proper love' from these extremely broken main characters.... The way this novel is depicted is truly in sense with what they would consider conveying their affections.

So in fact, the only comforting thing while I was reading this was that it's a novel, just a novel.... Yeah, it's just a novel... nothing more than that!!!! <<less

The characters in this novel were restricted by the author's lack of knowledge in psychology. They tried to make something deep and dark but fell short with just dark. I'm just glad that the chapters are actually super short because this story was a trainwreck but not in a good way. What the characters feel/think is contradictory to what they do.

MC clearly shouldn't have been a psychologist because he can't even recognize Stockholm syndrome, even when it (literally) hits him in the face.

He also knew ML was messed up, and still allowed him to get closer. Sorry sweety, you're not the MC of a sweet romance novel. Your love won't magically reform this demon into a loyal harmless puppy.

Also, the suffering he should be feeling just really feels casual sometimes.

Not enough mental torment or resentment either. There was only 1 good scene... -sigh- So much pain, yet not enough fear of the ML.

Though the brainwashing from the ML cronies was pretty obvious.

Guy: You must understand, he's been abused and traumatized his whole life!
MC: I understand. I'm also being abused and traumatized right now.

Rating: 4/5- dark and disturbing but I enjoyed it very much, until the ending chapters anyway.

SPOILER ALERT!

... more>>
Spoiler

I think the tragedy of this story is that I felt that the love the MC once had, actually died before the end. By the time the book concluded, the MC didn't seem to love the ML anymore, he'd rather just become complacent and accepting of his fate- which was rather sad. His resignation to his fate ruined this for me. I think he truly loved the ML and for a huge part of the book it felt like he genuinely understood the ML's mental state. I felt so hurt for him when he resigned to his fate instead of choosing a different end for himself.

[collapse]

The matter of the ML's mental instability was not well developed or portrayed and what could have been a wonderful Yandere character, fell very short. Eventually the relationship that created the expectation of psychotic, unstable and toxic love, became an ugly mess. I didn't see any kind of dependency and sick tyranny in their love.
Spoiler

Instead it was plain abuse after the second kidnap, and the ML, instead of being Yandere, seemed more like an idiot who believes his subordinates words that the person he loved willingly ran away after their wonderful experiences.

[collapse]

I feel like his insecurities could have been showed differently.

The torturous feeling of reading this book made me feel physical pain, which shows that it is still a beautiful novel. I just could not give it that final point, because the ending didn't have that punch it could have had.

Spoiler

The alternate endings were spoiled by the side character's very weird and sudden love of the MC- which was not suitable in my opinion. The MC basically gave up and the ML deteriorated instead of showing any kind of character growth.

[collapse]

Overall, it was a wonderful attempt, but the story fell to pieces at the defining point of the book and that just killed it. Still I think it's a good read and worth reading it for the author. <<less
