I have to disagree. Jaehwa goes out of his way to be an ass. His gross response to the cafe owner, who did nothing to provoke him except merely retell a story about being pushed out of the writing field, shows how out of touch he is with his surroundings. The only thing stopping him from being actually getting hurt is that most people swallowed their shock and resentments and acted like adults.
It's no small wonder some people will try to ruin him professionally or hurt him personally. He makes needless enemies and has a narcissistic attitude.
Ah, I ended up forgetting this one because he did apologize in the end, I think... I'm actually not so sure, I'll be sure to reread.
Well, I just hope he doesn't do something similary awful and all these things happened in the past, if he doesn't act up the same way again, I think Jaehwa is still a somewhat tolerable character.
I still like him. I'm not really disappointed in him for being that way because it was already clear from the very start what kind of character he was, being painfully direct without holding back. That's what I actually like because there aren't that many MCs that are like that. If it was someone else calling people out for something similar, I always saw people commenting that it was an amazing chapter or moment, so I didn't see any problems here.
If the rookie did bribe his way through the contest which I'm assuming is the case because his writing must have been awful for Jaehwa to call him out like that instead of just not bothering going all his way there. Jaehwa ''gets mean'' for reasons, it's not like he walks to every person and curses at them at any time.
But, well I can agree on wishing that he didn't have said it in public and he should have maybe said that privately to him but I can't agree on people saying he deserves to be cornered like that and being given any kind of threats and getting kidnapped, that's just off.
