Fatigue Syndrome: The Lassitude

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

7 years of unrequited love and another 7 years of relationship.

Kyeoul believed that the love completed over a long time with Ithae would continue forever and beyond.

But.

“Looks like he’s out with that person again today.”

There was a reason why Ithae was diagnosed with fatigue syndrome.

Meetings with another person, continuing since last spring.

Ithae no longer smiled when looking at Kyeoul, and Kyeoul simply resigned himself to looking at such an Ithae.

“If it’s not fate, we need to break up.”

For both Ithae’s sake and his own. Holding onto each other was wrong.

Rather, we needed to let go and at least preserve our memories.

That brilliant youth once upon a time.

So that the past, which burned with a bright fire, would no longer become pitiful.

Kwon Ithae (32).

Lived a monotonous life. Until meeting Kyeoul. After meeting Kyeoul, his monotonous world began to move. With trembling excitement and beauty. This thrilling feeling that love gives cannot last forever.

Choi Kyeoul (32).

Even 7 years of relationship turned out to be useless. Constant communication and meetings with a person who is not me. Cold attitude, different from before. There were no more reasons to desperately cling to this relationship. I just needed to let go, but somehow it turned out to be so difficult. With age, he absolutely couldn’t stand fatigue.

When to read: When you want to see the outcome of love irretrievably destroyed by fatigue.

Quote for empathy: “Ah, we need to break up.”

I guess the point of this story is melodrama, which it's good at. But both main characters are unreasonable and I can't like them and don't want to read about them anymore. This is a character-driven story, not a plot driven one, so wanting to follow the characters and read more about them is kind of important.

The MC/first viewpoint character just up and decides to break up with the ML because he thinks the ML is losing interest in him and might be cheating on him. The ML is definitely... more>> acting like a jerk, and his "fatigue syndrome" (aka, depression) is contributing to his lack of interest in everything around him, which includes the MC and could easily be mistaken for falling out of love. But instead of confirming this or even telling the ML he wants to break up, the MC unilaterally decides they've already broken up. When the ML actually tries to do something nice, the MC is like "why should I care about my ex." Dude, you haven't actually broken up!! And then he doesn't tell the ML that he's moving out and plans to just disappear while the ML is away on a business trip. On top of this, MC just cuts off his feelings for the ML like a lizard losing its tail, no complicated emotions whatsoever. People don't act like this in real life!!! MC is painted like he's so selfless out of his love for the ML but he's actually the opposite.

The ML/second viewpoint character is inconsiderate towards the MC and does stuff that really hurts him. Whatever issues he's having (aka, again, it's probably depression), that isn't an excuse. And even when ML regrets what he said or did, he never apologizes, acknowledges his mistakes, or tries to act nicer until the MC starts acting colder. When the MC starts backing off and not being affectionate (because they've "broken up" fjhshfghsdf), the ML starts having a bit of a revelation. Now, a reasonable character would think, "I didn't realize how much I appreciated this until it was gone; now I need to chase and grovel after my lover to win them back and show them I love them after all!" But the ML doesn't do this, instead he starts to resent the MC because how could the MC be able to live life normally without considering him first??? ML could have started the path to redemption but shot it down in favor of being an ass.

Being written well isn't the point, melodrama is the point. But even then, I would wait until like 30+ chapters are out and then read ahead to find out if this is actually going to be worth your investment. It's not worth mine! 2/5, dropping it here at ch. 13, f*ck both of these guys. <<less
