Both people that like and don’t like his looks, like who gives a fuck what the rest thinks, it’s fine if they express their likes and also their dislikes for how the ml looks. It’s a comments section in the end, at least they are talking about the manhwa and keeping on topic (talking about aspects of the manhwa) not complain about the readers
I really like the story and have bought official merch of it, but this whole thing has made me disappointed in the author. This is not the first time she sends her followers to hate on someone, both legal and illegal readers. I understand her anger and frustration, it’s her job in the end, but acting like a child online is not going to fix the issue. There’s also a clear tint of classism in her replies, and wouldn’t go as far as saying xenophobia/racism, but if she only goes on a manhunt for international illegal readers, when Koreans have numerous sites where they share illegal scans, and those go untouched by most authors, it leaves me weird taste in my mouth. I’ve been so excited about the physical version of this to come out in english, and I’ve been posting about buying it nonstop since the announcement on my social media, but now I don’t think I will. I don’t feel sorry for it, I don’t feel comfortable spending any more money on someone that would incite her million followers to send hate to someone over yaoi
Whenever he speaks I feel he’s lying, and maybe I missed it but how the hell did he know where his house was, or when they were actually in the house. The mc has so many gaps in his memory, I don’t trust him as well. At least guwon has shown both sides, the good and bad, but all the people in the town are weird, it feels like we’re missing something important
Seeing something like that must be traumatizing, thinking you’ve got back a sense of normalcy only for it to be ripped apart and be forced to see how the world is completely messed up, no matter where you are. However, I do think the mc is an unreliable narrator, we barely know anything about him or his past, and tbh it’s like he forgot a lot of it, kinda like the brain does in really traumatic cases as a coping mechanism just to be able to keep going. It’d be interesting to see more of it, and if he actually did something really bad in the past, and is projecting the disgust he could have towards himself into guwon. Also guwon is really interesting I like him, he’s like a blank canvas that knows nothing about morality, about what good or wrong, I think it’d be interesting to see the events that lead him to be like this










But I swear I would never forgive my mother for doing that to me, actually state my boundaries, and if my family won’t respect them I’d disappear for a while. Like what that woman did to him was awful, and he’s in his full right wanting no contact with her and not wanting HIS family to be around her.
