I mean don’t get me wrong I understand people’s views on the characters and all but I believe what many readers like to forget is that… she’s the author. Like yeah Jo definitely isn’t treated right but again it makes sense cause Ian actually is very dependent with TJ and can’t let him go. Jo is like the ray of light to Ian’s good path and TJ is bad addiction he can’t let go.
So yeah I believe it’s really just a ship issue where people want ian x mls to be the end game instead of just Appreciating the story
She also said before she has not preference to the who ian ends up with so idk where people even get that idea that she hates Jo
I was shocked when people said in this thread that she retweeted and liked comments that hateful against Jo.
i dont think the issue is the endgame cause i can tell most Jo stans have dropped their hope about Jo being the endgame. the real issue here why did she retweeted and liked hate comments against Jo.
It actually doesn't make sense when you waste a potential of a character. It could've been better if she just focused the story with TJ and Ian without adding Jo. It gives me the vibe how green flags are only added to be a tool to bring the other two character together. This pattern is not something new. It happens in almost every toxic love triangles. I happens to see her retweeting hate comments about Jo but she always delete em. She made him look weak as a character.
Hello there, where did she say she have no preference of who Ian ends up with?
On her twitter. I don’t remember what prompted her to say it whether it was some issue like that or she was answering questions (she is very interactive as she knows English fluently). I believe a better way to put it cause what I said is a little out of context but the story is still going and she really doesn’t have like a clear indication as to who Ian will end up with as of now.
I rarely keep up with her updates so I don't know about this but that phrase alone giving me the vibe of the endgame wasn't based on her personal liking or choice. That's very concerning tbh. She actually said in multiple occasion that the story was born in 2018. The endgame was decided long ago and will not change.
Oh yeah which kinda shocks me cause she once said how she still writes and plans the story… well we will see how things goes once season two comes back
Do you have the ss of this tweet?
I did some digging about the controversy about the author mistreating one of her character and I have a lot to say. Regarding she following an account that publicly hated Jo is a little complicated. There is this big korean account that she follows and I think most authors do too. This Jo hater account tweeted about chapt 27 and 28. They said ''people who show empathy are pathetic or weak'' something along the lines. Basically they don't like people who are empathetic. So Jo stans defended Jo, leading to a back and forth argument between that account and Jo stans. Doyak later unfollowed that person but months later, someone noticed that she refollowed that account and asked her about it. She said she knows that person irl and they had a meal together. She only unfollowed them back then to protect them from hate and harassment. She is known to defend and protect her characters many times even from her own readers but for some reason she didn't do the same during this incident. She actually very protective of TJ from the hate cause she thinks TJ get's most hate compared to Ian and Jo (which I find unbelievable cause she doesn't even know who is actually most hated). Everything about her and the way she treat Jo is weird. I don't know whom to actually believe.
