Low Tide in Twilight · review
Holy shit if this isn't the most messed up yet somehow amazing story I've read in a while. The abuse was hard to take at first, I mean it's ROUGH. Hardcore non-con turned romance. The humor had me laughing so many times, even my kids were asking what was so funny, especially in chapters 30-36. The hatred that Euihyun has for Taeju for most of the story is volitile and I love it. The Mangaka does a great job illustrating the realistic level of anxiety, depression and nonstop thinking of the "what ifs" one would have in his situation. Taeju's ability to take every puch, kick and attackof any kind from Euihyun in stride, even make a joke out of it makes it so much easier to laugh through the emotional rollercoaster that is this manhua (ex. Euihyun shoving a spoon down Taeju's throat)
A commenter made a good point that Taeju is really good at distracting Euihyun from his own negative thinking either with dirty jokes or random topic changes.
Their relationship started out absolutely disgusting. However, and this is a big "however", the fact that the Mangaka was able to demonstrate the moment of realization of Taeju and his feelings so well and provided so many moments of his attempts to try and redeem himself, while also sneaking in some intrusive selfish/controlling/manipulative thoughts to get what he wants at what ever cost, all the while his efforts being rejected time and time again but him never once giving up, made this a worthwhile read.
Euihyun carried this story and Taejun made it terrible and funny. If you can't do non-con then absolutely do not read this story but if you think you can get through it then this is a must read.
