Very messy. Seme is doing what he can to put a roof on his head and help his family but this led him to pretend to be an addict and also engage with another addict and contributing to their relapse. What he is doing is no different than offering drugs to a drug addict.

At the same time, uke is an indulgent weak guy. And before anyone comes for me, yes, addiction is hard and many things contribute to it from background to trauma trauma, etc. But no one can help you if you don't start helping yourself. The only way out of addiction is by taking the first step in earnest. The dude attended 1 meeting and right at the end pulled someone to have sex when he himself is a sex addict. He isn't taking any steps to get better.
I don't think of addiction as a moral failing as in addict = immoral but I do think of it as "addict who had every financial and physical means to get rehab and feel better yet chooses not to = weak willed"

    I have a hard time with author depiction of addiction. I don't feel like it's realistic at all. For ML there's obviously no addiction on drug so I can't say anything on that but for MC I don't see it, what I understand is that : he like sex (not really a problem) I mean we don't know how much and from what I understand it's once a day which is pretty demanding but not totally incredible. Then he's pretty reckless and do shit everytime, orgie, probably taking drugs and finishing in the hospital, it's pretty reckless behavior for me. I feel like MC feels actually pretty alone and enjoy sex very much so demand sex every day from stranger since he's single. Which led him to do pretty reckless things but I still don't feel the "addiction". It's just me tho, or if that's an addiction you can call all the ML's in all the manhwas here too, after all they have sex almost everyday at least five times, that's something too haha. But it's not a judgement or addiction or whatever, it's more the depiction of addiction in this manhwa specifically that I don't feel. And regarding your comment, IRL addiction can take a lot of form and shape and is different for every people, sometimes it doesn't show sometime it does but everyone do as they can I guess.
