- Psychological Breaking Point: The chapter further delves into Jiwook’s fast deteriorating state of mind as his dire situation with Juyeon becomes more suffocating and traumatic.

- Juyeon’s Motivations: The next chapter may shed another light on the utterly deranged mind of Juyeon, and delve into the reason behind his more than complete psychological breakdown of the person he says he cares for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Reverse Thinking an Adult manhwa?
Yes. The series is extremely triggery. It contains strong, unabbreviated material, extreme psychological manipulation, gore and extreme violence. It’s for mature audiences willing to deal with some dark psychological thrillers.
Does Jiwook have anything romantic in his life besides Juyeon?
No. It’s not a romance, it’s a relationship that’s only about severe trauma, sadism and deepened obsession, so it’s a very polarized and tough read for many.
