Jisun's already broken life was shattered further by the onset of a mental illness in her second year of university. It stole what little social ability she had left, snatched away her internship, and caused her grades to plummet to the point of academic probation. But then, someone entered her life. A glimmer of hope...
Or was it?
The lines between reality and illusions had begun to blur...
macchiato-'s note:
You can often encounter stories that involve mental illness, but Baku. is definitely different. I admit ramenking's ability in toying with the readers' feelings; the writing itself is excellent. Undoubtedly a very good read.
(+) The characterization is amazing. The female lead is not a weak or faint woman you often see. She is, in some ways, but that's only because she's suffering from a disease similar to schizophrenia. Ramenking is able to draw vivid descriptions when it comes to Jisun's panic attacks without forgetting the need to convey her feelings. You'll fall in love with Baekhyun when the story develops, and you'll find yourself dying to see Sehun being introduced further; to know if he's real or not. Grammar-wise it is flawless.
(-) Ramenking doesn't update frequently. The most recent update was posted on August 27, so if slow updates aren't to your likings, Baku. isn't your suitable choice. Refer to the good points, though, the story won't disappoint you.
hey, just updated the list with a mark-centric one. will add more soon, stay tuned!
