I read the summary and haven't read the story yet, but the summary says that Mysophobia is "A complete lack of empathy", which isn't true. To put it simply, mysophobia = germaphobia (some people use them interchangeably), which is a fear of dirt/germs and getting dirty or infected because of germs.

My question is, in the manhwa, if mysophobia does come up, do they characterize Mysophobia as one of the characters having a "complete lack of empathy" or is it correctly used for someone that is actually mysophobic?

    thank you, I was apprehensive to start reading this if they were just mischaracterizing germaphobia and other mental health disorders + autism
