I feel like the problem is the “trope”. The fact that this is a “chase arc” and im aware of it makes the characters uninteresting. A lot ML do shit the audience dont like or they are spontaneous and even if you hate them, they have personality. Like jaekhyung from jinx I hate him so much but he has a personality. A terrible fucking personality but a personality. It makes him feel realistic, he doesn’t do shit to satisfy the audience, he does whatever the fuck he wants. Dooshik from Pearl boy (my fav ml) has a personality. Heck even stories I haven’t read but I still know characters bc of their personalities. I have never roses and champagne but I know who tf ceaser is. Aaron is just bland and he’s doing things the audience likes.

Aaron has always been an npc ass ml to me. And it’s even glaring now bc the way I skimmed every Aaron chapter bc there’s no yujin is soo funny. He has no substance or character and he just seems like he’s there to do and say what the audience want him to say. The “yearning” is also so forced on him bc again it seems like he’s just doing it bc people like seeing it. Me realising I’m only reading this manhwa bc of the first season ugh
