dude cmon, i do enjoy the the manga. it aint the high-road. everyone's got characters they like and hate in mangas(ever heard of antagonist?).
people hate on em for fun. targetting a character in manga while liking another char is normal lmao? everyones got a hcar they hate and char they love.
shitting on the whole manga saying JINX is shit in the comments is weird
mingwa made horseface hate-able for a reason lmao
Omfg grow up you could just read the story normally while reacting to his character development but yall make hating him ur whole personality and completely ignore any work he does to change as a person and just brush off what he went through to become that way which is what makes you fucking annoying. Kim dan can do no wrong because he’s the bottom and had a hard life but jjk is the horse face devil incarnate because he handles his trauma poorly? Fuck off. Nobody wants to hear about how much you hate him keep that shit to yourself. The thing is he’s NOT the antagonist but yall want to treat him like one when his life was just as hard. Yall have this weird complex about characters who suffer through indignities passively but when a character has a normal human response to years of abuse and its not pretty and sad and pathetic, they’re called awful things by readers. I hope you have no friends with trauma because you sound like you would be awful to be around for them.
I think you’re missing why people react so strongly in the first place.
The story itself is written in a really polarized way. Dan is basically angelified to the point where he barely ever messes up, which honestly makes him feel less human. Meanwhile Jaekyung is written doing objectively awful, sometimes straight up deplorable things. When readers respond to that contrast, it’s not them making hating him their personality, it’s them reacting to what’s on the page.
And yeah, his trauma explains why he acts the way he does, but it doesn’t excuse it. Especially not the borderline assault behavior. That’s exactly why his development feels slow, because he’s starting from a pretty bad place. He’s not redeemed yet, he’s just beginning to crawl in that direction. If anything, it feels like the author is speeding things up recently because the story seems like it’s heading toward an ending.
Also, acting like people who criticize him must be awful to trauma survivors is a stretch. A lot of us do have friends with trauma, or have dealt with it ourselves, and that’s exactly why we don’t treat it like a free pass. At some point, trauma explains behavior, it doesn’t justify continuing to hurt others. Where that point is depends on the person, so yeah, people are going to disagree. It’s literally a spectrum of tolerance.
And let’s be real, this is an illegal site discussion about a story where the author literally wrote him as satan incarnate for the entire first arc. You can’t write a character like that and then be surprised when readers react accordingly.
You can like him, you can root for his growth. But people disliking him right now isn’t some moral failure, it’s a completely fair reading of the story as it’s been written so far.

Yall are annoying af. If it got dragged out for many chapters you would have been upset. If he gets justice for dan you are upset. If he loses, you are upset. If he cries and grovels you are upset. If he apologizes and tries to help dan in ways he knows how, you are upset. Nothing makes you happy. It really is a wonder why yall are even reading this comic if you hate it and the main character so much. Go read something you actually like.
