One thing I like about Ideum is that, despite being naive and somewhat innocent, the author doesn't portray him as "pure"—meaning, not just some inexperienced virgin who doesn't even know where his prostate is. He’s actually quite horny; he knows exactly what he likes and wants to experiment and connect intimately with someone, even if he doesn't know how to give or receive love, since it's something he's never experienced. He’s also endearing because, despite all his insecurities, the author doesn't turn him into a caricature—he doesn't come off as some pathetic guy who relies entirely on Yaeji to do everything for him.
