Killing Stalking: Deluxe Edition Vol. 1: 9781638585572 - Amazon.com

Bum is introduced as a deeply sympathetic yet deeply flawed protagonist. He violates Sangwoo's privacy, which should make him unlikable. However, his profound loneliness, history of abuse, and fragile mental state make him an object of pity. Readers watch him cross moral boundaries out of a desperate need to feel seen, completely unaware of the trap he is walking into. Oh Sangwoo: The Sociopathic Idol

The first chapter of Killing Stalking acts as a perfect microcosm of the entire series. It hooks the reader by instantly raising the stakes from a crime of passion (stalking) to a fight for absolute survival. It forces the audience into an uncomfortable moral gray area, wondering how Bum will navigate an impossible situation where his obsession has become his captor.
