Yeah I agree with this. It's really interesting to read about a self-destructive anti-hero as a romantic love interest.
Yes! Thank you for being able to put those thoughts into words. I couldn’t say it better honestly.
Okay so a lot of people have already said their thoughts on his behaviour, but looking at him from a different perspective, he's an incredible character. The author was very brave to have a character like him as the main character. Very often, especially in manga and manhwas, addicts are either represented as background characters or "villains", or if they are main characters their addiction is often made to seem funny, not serious. I personally think it's very interesting to see a character who has very real issues that negatively impact on his life, as well as this it depicts that he physically can't get out of his habits and in some ways he doesn't want to.
I'm not saying he's a good character in terms of personality, but it's far more interesting to have a main character who isn't a perfect blank slate for a reader to project themselves onto.
Sorry for going on and feel free to disagree, I just wanted to write my opinion.
