ML: Sang Heo (Simeon), 23 years old, S-class hunter and head of the guild ‘Apostle’, looking for Johan, whom he had a crush on in the past. MC: Hajae Shin (Johan), 26 years old, has an immortal body due to a curse but has only one year to live. He hides his identity as Johan from Simeon. *** ‘Those who receive this curse will die in 10 years.’ I inherited ‘Destined to Die’, a curse that guarantees my death on a certain day. And no matter what I do until then, I cannot die. Hajae Shin becomes terminally ill after inheriting a curse from his mother. A curse that will be passed on to the person you love the most in life once you die. “I thought you disliked me. So, I thought you were avoiding me.” “I don’t… dislike you.” After Hajae starts volunteering at the cathedral’s orphanage, he is drawn to Sang Heo, and the two gradually become closer. But, unwilling to pass the curse onto Sang, Hajae leaves his side… “Don’t leave me, hyung. Don’t throw me away.” “Don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere.” I’m sorry. Hajae and Sang reunite again seven years later. The child Hajae met at the orphanage had grown up and become ‘Simeon,’ an S-class hunter and leader of the guild, ‘The Apostles’. “Why are you so nervous? Are you scared? You’re worried I’ll do something bad?”

My Thoughts on I am Destined to Die
"I am Destined to Die" sounded like my kind of story, and after diving in, I can see why it has garnered such a strong, if somewhat divided, reaction from readers. It's a tale dripping with angst, sacrifice, and a unique take on the fantasy genre that definitely left an impression.
First Impressions
The premise immediately hooked me: a cursed protagonist, a destined death, and a love he desperately tries to avoid. The initial chapters paint a picture of impending doom and the weight of impossible choices. I was ready for a rollercoaster of emotions, and the story certainly delivered.
What Works Well
The world-building is definitely a highlight. Instead of generic monster slaying, the focus on spirit relics and the reenactment of past events to retrieve them felt fresh and imaginative. I also found the central conflict – the MC's struggle to protect the ML from his curse – compelling, even if frustrating at times. The devotion of the male lead is beautifully portrayed, and it’s easy to become invested in their tragic romance. The raw emotion and the lengths to which both characters are willing to go for each other create a powerful narrative. I also appreciated the way the story handles a religious setting without resorting to disrespect.
Areas of Concern
While the angst is a major draw, it can also be overwhelming. The MC's actions, particularly his treatment of the ML, can be difficult to stomach. His constant self-sacrifice, while intended to be noble, often comes across as self-centered and needlessly hurtful. I can see why some readers found him unlikable and his communication skills severely lacking. The plot relies heavily on the MC's decision to hide his curse, which can feel contrived and lead to frustrating situations.

Final Verdict
"I am Destined to Die" is a deeply emotional and angsty story that will likely leave you in tears. While the MC's choices can be frustrating, and the constant angst might be too much for some, the unique world-building and the devotion between the main characters make it a worthwhile read for those who enjoy tragic romances and unconventional fantasy. Just be prepared for a potentially heart-wrenching journey.
