I sadly have to admit that even after LOVING this story at first, I now feel lowkey disappointed with how the climax and ending turned out to be. There was so much potential but at some point I felt like it turned into torture p*rn.. The latest chapters were confusing af and lacked so much context..
The ending is supposed to be about Jooha and Dooshik finally being able to start over again, no trauma for Jooha so that he can bloom and shine. It's just that including memory loss is such a common idea authors have. And for Jooha and Dooshik's story I would've liked something more unique and less challenging since they have been through enough. While Jooha can find his peace now, Dooshik will always carry this burden with him which leads to an imbalance of experiences and knowledge between the two.
Pearl Boy was one of my favorite stories. I am so sad it ended. But it's okay, maybe after re-reading it in a year I will think differently
