Rashta hate mentioned omgg honestly same, I like these backstories more since its not like the author is trying to justify mincheol. It just gives a more tragic taste to this story by showcasing the contrast between the past mincheol and present him
Rashta's hate is rooted in sexism and capitalism and she was a well-fleshed out character, meanwhile people are hating on the pace of that story because the author is capitalising on the reader's money and rage and patience
I do not like Mincheol... To be fair, I do not like the ML either, but why the fvck are folks complaining about a multi-facetted story.
Now, the actual complaint should be that all of those backstories are in Mincheols point of view rather than the MCs. This could have been used to flesh out her character more rather than having her as the bland doormat. But these backstories are, at least to me right now, much more interesting than the actual present story, because their pacing is actually quite good and they explore the personality of the characters.
This feels like the Rashta hate. If you want one-dimensional villains just say that. If you can't deal with an author putting more thought into one, just drop the series.
Again the actual problem are not the Mincheol backstories. The problem is the shltty pacing on the actual present and rather bland main characters. Feels like the author thought out the past well, but is struggling to achieve a goal
