Don't get me wrong to those who love him, I have nothing against you guys or your ancestors lmao.
Rant incoming:
Anyways, the uke suck as a person and as a character. He's the kind of guy I don't want to be friends with even if he's attractive or smart. His personality genuinely sucks. Let me list a few things that ticked me off:
At the beginning of the story, the story itself aka the narrator lets you know that he's faking everything due to past trauma or experience. Okay a complex mc with another terrible backstory! But.... genuinely speaking here, he's a terrible written character and by far insufferable. The story wants you to think he's faking about being a "nice good student" BUT he rarely acts like it. If anything, he acts like some regular average students that just wants to survive the day. If a character is truly faking about being a nice student at least convince me about it (show me, don't tell me for crying out loud) but no, he's a selfish jerk through and through. He doesn't put up a facade, he rarely gives a shit about anybody other than himself. He only helps when asked to or felt like it (if it benefits him). Other than that, he truly DOES NOTHING as a character with no improvement or even an arc. There are many instances where he does seem to be acting like a good student or whatever the story wants you to see so I'm not gonna ignore that part but heck am I supposed to like that now? Honestly he's selfish through and through. He saw a classmate being abused by his crush but no he goes blind about it and acts jealous. Both him and the seme are trash. I love complex characters but using that as an excuse for a terribly written character is shit. A character can be complex but loved at the same time. Take Joker or Harley as an example. Heck, even White Lily from CRK. Worse part is the story excuses the Uke's bad behavior due to his past experience. What? I'm sorry? We have Jaekyung whose abusive behavior was also excused by his past yet at least he's trying himself to improve. See?! The standard is low now but this uke? Nah, he's a bitch
