hes a dick bc hes crazy, i dont think hes meant to be cool but rather suspicious and unpredictable instead
unfortunately doesn’t change how unlikeable he is. I feel like his reasons for being an asshole hardly matter in what’s supposed to be pretty much a romance, and it’s hard to look past how he treats his partner. I think it’s entirely possible the author meant for him to come off as cool and crazy, but at the end of the day he’s still an asshole and unfun to read about. Maybe there are some people who like this kind of thing, idk. Just my thoughts on it
oh no love i 100% agree. i read ahead in the novel and i hate this man,
spoiler
i hateee the assault trope which is so common in manhwas atm. he’s honestly the biggest pos, and i might honestly drop this come later chapters
only here for taekjoo(▰˘◡˘▰)
oh wow, that’s a shame. I’ll likely drop it as well then. Thanks for the insight:)
I didn’t like the characters from the beginning, but I stayed around for the plot, which I thought was interesting. There’s an overcommitment to making Zhenya the “cool guy” that just makes him look like an asshole. There are ways of being unbothered and cool without being invasive and a dick. I still like the plot, though, the elusiveness of Anastasia is actually what keeps me around. I sense a plot twist about what the “weapon” may actually be. The art is okay, you can tell that the author has not a lot of love for settings and backgrounds (which is fine), there’s a lot of focus on the characters instead. Truthfully I don’t know how much longer I can stand Zhenya. His behaviour is unlikeable and I grow very tired of authors trying and failing to make a character cool, because they end up making them a total douchebag instead
