yeah, and the point of those plot is to evoke the readers discussion. people are always have a positive and negative outlook regardless towards different topics especially, idk if you can guess, the red flags in the people around junghyeok; doesnt mean the people are nitpicking the author for the toxic themes. perhaps, and this is just a suggestion, consider that the internet is a free place for people to share their opinions (on the plot and the characters) :9
I saw a few comments just being nitpicky (from my perspective) and not really voicing opinions but more like complaining. Consider this me using the internet for that very reason as I post this. (:>)
is a complaint not still an opinion? it's fair to complain and criticize when and how toxic elements are used, especially when it's done as flippantly as they are in this story. thinking that they're not used or developed well is not necessarily an objection to them being there at all. someone can conclude that the story/vibe the author is seemingly aiming for would be better served without them. my take: it seems that the story is too toxic for fluff and wholesomeness, but doesn't take the drama and angst (consistently) far enough with the toxicity to be satisfying in that direction either.
Some of yall dont understand that the toxic aspects of this are here to FUEL the drama. Otherwise it wouldn't be interesting to read. If the story got straight to the point there would be no chance for development, rise of conflict, plot or conclusive actions. Please use your critical thinking skills or maybe learn what it mean to develop a story.
