I will re-dump it here section by section I guess:
First, I LOVE THE NEWEST CHAPTER
I understand that shipping is a huge part of every male-dominated manhwa/novel and sometimes, I do find it annoying if people focus too much on the potential BL ships over the story plot when it has a good story plot. Maybe because I am aromantic and don’t really care much for romance in an action-heavy series, but for most readers of this series from what I see, they actually care about the familial dynamics between Yoojin and the other characters and the story plot. However, the shipping between Hyunje (btw i use je cuz it is 제, not jae 재—not a big diff but if you’re Korean, it matters) x Yoojin is NOT uncalled for considering their dynamic. Even I find myself shipping them despite being someone who doesn’t really like romance in action-heavy series and find most romance especially in shounen action “unnecessary” (but that’s cuz most shounen mangakas dk how to write women well and reduce them to being the male characs’ love interest despite strong characterisation at first—I am so done with this kind of stories/srs)
Some may call it “queerbait”, “fanservice”, “created for fan activity” but at the end of the day, it is undeniable that these two have a bond that’s no other. If others want to call it romantic love, so be it. If others want to call it platonic love, so be it. I myself am in a QPR (queer platonic relationship) so… love is still just love after all and sometimes there’s no need for a label. What I don’t get is why a certain user is so pressed over this when they can simply ignore the fandom if they hate shippers. Whether you like it or not, shippers will always rule the fandom because they are also the ones who will generate most fan activity for the series, it is simply the truth. You cannot stop people from shipping… and tbf, it is even more ironic that they have a pfp of a RAPIST, yet they want to virtue signal so bad
To preface: I rarely ever leave comments on stories because I rather spend time reading than to comment stuff, but I will call out if I see people spreading misinformation or being a POS in the comment section. also, I am writing this with pure grit and I use em-dashes a lot cuz I am a writer (I HATE GEN AI) — I know I can refuse to engage but bro is so annoying cuz why do I see them under other stories I love too talking abt the same damn ridiculous points
First, I LOVE THE NEWEST CHAPTER
