wait guys i aint reading this but i’m really curious on why did they start treating the mc like this, like did he do something ???can someone explain pretty pleaseeee and what’s the ending
no nothing they are just garbage
bruh really ?? wtf is wrong with the author ew
The title explains the story non zero sum means " no one wins and no one loses"
Soo I haven't finished this yet so I can't really tell you about the ending. But to answer your question about why they treat him like that. Basically the story itself is told from an very unreliable point of view. The people were actually never mc's friends to begin with like mc thinks. The main bad person ( haeyoung) is a psychopath. Tho he is written acting more like a sociopath and a narcissist, but the key fact is that he is physically incapable of feeling empathy due to being born with psychopathy. Because mc has severe psychological issues due to trauma from early in the life that were never handled he was "perfect victim" for haeyoung who is due to psychopathy constantly seeking stimulation to the brain. So he manipulates mc years and years feeding him all kinds of delusions and making him mentally attached to him basically treating him like a pet. Due to this manipulation mc fell in love with him and due to the already existing trauma he very easily submits to him sadly. Then there is taekyum and the third guy who's name i cannot remember now sorry. They are both also being manipulated by the psycho but in a very different way than mc. Taekyum seems to be written as a narcissist atleast to me. This means that his ego is very fragile and he seeks to feed it with many delusions. He also feels the need to be in a very superior position and since he kinda sees the psychos position compared to mc he kinda mirrors his actions too. The psycho sees this and manipulates him too tho the narcissists thinks he is the one in control. Though this shatters a bit after the narcissists starts to see how badly the psycho is treating mc so he "saves" him, but we see also here that this only feeds the narcissists ego and need to be in control. It is also good to mention that the psycho has manipulated the other 2 to believe kinda that mc likes what they are doing. Though it is not very convincing it is a escape for them to relieve the guilt they experience from the horrible things they do to mc that started due to manipulation. Then the third guy. What i see now that he actually is in love with mc and did not want to abuse him but once again due to manipulation he gave in and he is now battling also with many issues due to guilt andd he believes that it is ok because mc likes it due the delusion that the psycho fed them. It also does not help that the mc is in extreme survival state and the 2 are too blind to see that so it just feeds the delusion. This is very very simply put and based on my own observations since i haven't read the novel but I hope that this gives you and maybe some other readers atleast some explanation why things are happening. What I see is that the writing is very deep and very intentional, but it is very very overpowered by all the disturbing things happening.
oh wow okay this is crazy, well thanks a lot i understand way better now and yeah im definitely not reading this
