Say it. I'm getting tired of them using Yjh solely for aura farming

of course he is for aura farming!! But not only for action!!! You read the novel and expect him to show his noble side, which makes you think, " Wow, no wonder KDJ was his fan and managed to drudge through the awful info-dumping novel that is 'Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse', which most people gave up on. And if they are trying to appease the dudebros .... spoiler alert ..... he literally stopped his regression to be with KIM DOKJA, who is only in this round like. ridiculous.

Yes, I read the novel too and Yoo Joonghyuk is my favorite character. But sadly in the manhwa Yjh is only used for hype aura moments like yeah I know he's cool as well but bring back his emotions. Joonghyuk is such an emotional wreck of a character in a novel. He's harsh, sometimes caring, sometimes polite, sometimes struggles to convey his feelings, sometimes he acts rashly, sometimes he feels hopeless, sometimes he loves a lot, and sometimes he hates a lot. Those are the things that make him feel human. If you ask manhwa only readers about Yjh's feeling about kdj they'd say he cares but not as much a Kdj does. Which is very wrong. It's clear in the novel that the dependency between them aren't one-sided. The manhwa shows how much Kdj cares for Yjh because that's what the story about. If you remove Kdj not ever caring for YJH then that isn't ORV anymore so they instead removed a lot of scenes where Yjh is human so that at least they can make the manhwa very typical shonen that can appease dude-bros.

Some manhwa onlies would say that Yjh is emotionless. Idk but just thinking about how some ppl actually think that he is infuriates me.

They removed a lot of scenes to appease the shonen type of audience even though the ones that are dedicated to the source material are fujoshis. The company only cares about appeasing fujos when it's time for merch release. The authors are also unfortunately held hostage by naver. I feel bad for them they're great writers! The authors also got harassed by immature men because they described Kdj as pretty and bc the scenes he's in with Yjh screams gay. And surprise, the fujos are now the ones to blame for that apparently. Ppl had been twisting the story that the fujos are the one that harassed the authors:/

It's really unfair so sometimes you just gotta stick to reading the novel and just vibing with the ppl you have the same interpretations with.

(I really hated chapters 220-221 of the manhwa, I really felt so angry when it got released. I waited for that since it's one of my favorite scenes and they just butcher it like that? Please. Yjh's literally lost his lifeline and your telling me he's just standing there?)
