Let’s be real here, if this was real life, people would be throwing themselves at Ethan. Bow tie, plaid, and all. You don’t need an accidental touch to know he’s... ahem... big down there based on his proportions and the glasses can’t hide the attractive face. But this is a Chinese yaoi and only in China does any sort of blemish apparently makes the person ugly, smh (no offense based on my final line. But you gotta notice the trend).
bruh the author is literally korean, and dont assume what happens in china
Then why the fuck are there people in the comment section calling this Chinese???? What???
Either way, there’s still a prominent problem in media in general where there’s a need for a character to change because they have X flaw. Western culture is a bit ahead of the curve in “loving yourself” but not that much, it’s mostly a marketing strategy smh. Eastern is behind though they do have their moments with that message from time to time. Chinese comics are easier to pick at since it’s rather forward with it for dramatic purposes Ex. Transmigration story where the unwanted third child has a birthmark on their face. Or an high school student with glasses and braids being picked on for being ugly.
Can’t speak for China itself, though my experience as an Asian along with friends from across Asia, our experience with the high beauty standard is eerily similar. Purely experience though there are many studies conducted on the beauty standard out there.
I will admit it is my bad for simply looking at the comments after reading and my analysis on Chinese comics looks bad. But the point still stands about the ridiculous beauty standard (an old one at that “nerdy = ugly”) and if it was realistic, Ethan would highly be sought after as a partner and a friend.
its chinese raws lmao, they never said he was ugly, it was his aura that he was showing to other people. i know people like ethan, theyre cute but very timid, there arent many people who go after people like that in my experience
You didn't read the author's name? It's written in Hangul.
Local Brown-Haired Shoujo Girl desperately simps for Generic Black-Haired RPG Boy. Boring from first glance yet something fitting about seeing two basic hoes get together! Like A Mary Sue and Gary Sue hooking up or a Stacy and a Chad!

Finally this manga ended. Should have ended with the saving of the demon lord and the downtime of them falling in love. Her reluctance was kinda stupid (but I guess that it’s #Normal), but because of her reluctance, it made this ending seemed rushed since she didn’t “naturally” fall in love with him; only through a rushing of circumstance.
I’d simp for the archmage so much. Ngl. I know Kasai is going to end up with the prince since he’s obviously the ML here. But god I wish she ends up with the mage instead. The mage is a FINE man
This is the type of MC that I talk about when I ask for more unique female MCs. I want a freak like this!!!!
A real waste of art smh...
All these characters cooing over a girl who has the bangs and eyebrows of some tumblr girl who complained to me how breathing is misogynistic or some shit.
Reading this makes me feel like I’m some average Joe trying to eat my meal in peace but some fake YouTube prank channel thought that pretending to die in the middle of a restaurant was the funniest shit in the world.
This was a mistake
Bro... I like it yet so uncomfortable... it’s like looking into a mirror when I read about Woojoo. I really understand where she’s coming from. Actually, a lot of scenarios that happened to her happened to me too haha. Except for the simping parts. That’s one thing I can safely say. I’m everything but a simp, amen.
That being said, people who are really attacking her are... idk something tells me you never experienced being the fat friend, had a crush while being fat, or tried dating while being fat. It’s really hard and despite the push for body positivity, it’s kind of like your up against a moving current. First step is loving yourself. Which is hard. Then dealing with the hate and treatment from people in being fat. Then finally dealing with people who say they support you but really, they’re disgusted by you.
Woojoo is a lot of things but very understandable... what more, don’t you fucking deny you’re weakness to an attractive face. She lacks self control. And she’s trying to change that, though... probably not the best way. Tbh I laughed when she decided to remove her glasses to exclude the problem in the equation because I actually thought the same thing as well. And quite frankly, it would probably have worked if I was driven by EQ. But then I realized I just hate people tbh.
Actually, her progression is pretty similar to just dating in general and especially in the current chapters where she’s trying to settle. Everyone experienced that one point. To just settle to avoid loneliness. Some people go through with it. If you haven’t, congrats. You’re a lucky human being.
Anyways, my only thing I’m pulling away with is “Thank god I’m not a simp. Let’s just enjoy the hermit life.”
Right!! When I first started reading this webtoon and only a few chapters was out a lot of people was hating on because of how shallow she was and was only attracted to handsome people. But the same people hating on her for being shallow will be the same people hating on her if she lost weight. So you can’t please everyone. But honestly everyone is shallow in their own way. This webtoon is very realistic to a lot of people that went through it. Like being scammed or having a boyfriend/girlfriend that uses you. During the first few chapters it was definitely half of Woojoo fault for being scammed but i guess she was too blinded by “love” to realize it. Everyone will experience sucky relationship but soon they would find the one (if they want to or they could give up) Woojoo is still searching but instead of dating she should find herself. If she wants to lose weight or not it’s her decision and she should make whats best for her not others which is what a lot of people have trouble with. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I’m rolling my eyes and rolling in my grave
