Wait why is everyone hating on the teacher?? He even said it himself that he was at fault ...

AND TO ADD ONTO THE TEACHER, IM GLAD HES A CHARACTER WITH MORE DEPTH. SORRY I DO ENJOY BRAINDEAD READS SOMETIMES BUT THIS HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MANHWA I LOOK FORWARD TO READING BECAUSE IT TAPS INTO THE MCS MENTAL STATE MORE
If u guys really want a story with a mary sue/gary stu there is plenty like that out there

I don’t think it has to do with “not getting it” I think most of the comments are people who just don’t like his personality and I personally don’t like him either but neither does MC so chances are as the plot progresses we’ll gain understanding into his reasons for treating Boris the way he is, and as Boris gets stronger he’ll probably like Walnut more and so will we, but as for now he’s just a pretty big dick head. Probably because we’ve seen Boris undergo nothing but difficulty and tragedy and all of a sudden here’s this guy who doesn’t know anything about him pushing him. I’m sympathetic to Boris and as a reader I understand he needs to be strong but this Walnut asshole can fuck off, give me a new teacher type.

Also just to add on, the greater the writing the more likely people will form stronger opinions on characters and plot choices. Not everyone likes the same tropes and Walnut is the biggest trope I’ve ever seen. Not trying to be cocky or look down on the author but I really doubt I’ll be surprised by his backstory I’m sure it’ll be either very similar to Boris’ or another retelling of a tragedy that taught him to value life by living life blah blah blah.

Why are you acting like ppl cant dislike a character? The fact that ppl dislike him means that this story is written well so ppl are still allowed to enjoy it despite disliking a character. You deem ppl to be shallow while YOU'RE being shallow too. Ppl can express dislike about a character especially ones like the teacher since he is unnecessarily cruel to Boris.

Like idk about u but ppl disliking assholes isnt something new. Idk why you're trying to paint it as if ppl are looking for shallow characters who are only nice to MC when that's not the problem here with the teacher. The point is that he's an asshole who kicks those that are already down. You might say it's bc he has a lesson to teach but no, it's just bc he's an asshole. He even fcking says it himself that he gets mad unnecessarily at Boris.

Mind u, at the start of their training, even he questions his own actions. He knows he's being unnecessarily cruel. So ppl disliking him for that is only a natural conclusion. Maybe we'll stop disliking him as the story continues but as of now, he's still far from being a likeable character. You're acting as if ppl's opinions will always stay the way they are regardless of what happens. Ppl judge by what's shown, and what's currently being shown is that he's an asshole. Even if he has something to teach or even if he's coming from somewhere, he's still being cruel and even the character knows that. And ppl are allowed to dislike characters like that bc one character being an asshole doesnt immediately make the story terrible. You're over here acting as if ppl disliking the teacher is them saying this story is bad when it's not. Criticism of a character's very obvious cruel actions is a given. You're acting like ppl are never allowed to do that.
