It's just confusing to learn what a man's inside is, the hatred towards him and the often feelings of deja vu, and it's just confusing as unknown things continue to happen... (Source - yaoi.fandom.com)
Why Should We Pick This Up?
In storytelling, a "MacGuffin" is an object or device that drives the plot forward and motivates the characters, but is ultimately irrelevant in itself. The manhwa uses this literal literary device as a framing mechanism.
This omegaverse is a highly intense psychological drama which deals with severe psychological trauma, memory loss, depression, and themes of self-harm.
However, for those who love complex, psychological puzzles wrapped in a toxic "red flag" dynamic, its plot structure is considered brilliant.
And the beautiful art is definitely a bonus
