Description
“Excuse me. …Do you perhaps, recognize me?” The man who spoke to Jungjoon was a complete stranger. Despite having an outward appearance that wouldn’t connect him to Jungjoon, a single father. Jungjoon searched his memories, trying to place the man who implied he knew him. Only after dredging up his pitiful past could he overlay the face of a child who had clung to him with an unsettling obsession. A reunion after 17 years. It was a time span that made it even more improbable that any trace of the past would remain. The small child had become a grown man. ⟡˖ ࣪ “I understand… why you’re doing this. We… grew up without parents, lived lives several times harder than others….” “…….” “We had no choice but to rely on each other…. And we were each other’s only family…. So… the affection you received from me, you must suddenly miss it, long for it. Yes… that’s completely understandable.” “…You’re right. I’ve always thought of you as my wife.” Jungjoon felt his breath catch in his throat. His vision blurred at the word “wife” coming from Yoonhae’s lips once again. “…Stop it. Do you really think you’ll never see me again after today?!” “Do you think you won’t see me if you decide not to?” Yoonhae rubbed his chin and then his thick neck. “Either you kill me, or I kill you. Isn’t that realistically the only way? For us to not see each other again.” He added, looking directly at the pale Jungjoon, “I’m joking, so relax.” “…….” “So…, when are you going to give me that kiss?”

My Thoughts on Dark and Humid
"Dark and Humid" is a novel that definitely left an impression. It's not a light read by any means, delving into some pretty heavy themes that made me pause and reflect quite a bit. It's a story that sticks with you, even after you've turned the final page.
First Impressions
Initially, I was hooked by the intriguing premise and the way the story unfolds across different timelines. The mystery surrounding the male lead (ML) is captivating, and I found myself eager to piece together the puzzle of his past and motivations. The setup is undeniably strong, drawing you into a world of complex relationships and simmering tension.
What Works Well
The author excels at creating a disturbingly realistic portrayal of obsessive attachment. It's not the romanticized version we often see; it's raw, suffocating, and genuinely unsettling. I appreciated how the tension gradually builds, transforming the ML from seemingly harmless to increasingly possessive and frightening. The characters themselves are well-developed, with their backstories revealed in fragments that slowly paint a grim picture. I found myself understanding, though not necessarily excusing, their actions. The writing is top-notch, especially when it comes to handling the intense subject matter. The author does a great job of explaining character motivations without ever justifying their behavior, which is a crucial distinction in a story like this.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the novel overall, I did feel that the quality dipped a bit towards the end. The pacing faltered, and I started to lose interest in the plot. The MC, while understandable given his circumstances, can be a bit frustrating at times. His obsession with appearing "normal" and his constant worrying about others' opinions felt repetitive. The ML's behavior, while fitting for a yandere character, occasionally crossed the line into being simply annoying and overly emotional.

Final Verdict
"Dark and Humid" is a disturbing and intense story that explores the darker side of human attachment. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're looking for a psychological drama with well-developed characters and top-tier writing, this might be right up your alley. I'd recommend going in with an open mind and a strong stomach, and be prepared for a story that will leave you feeling both disturbed and strangely captivated.
