unpopular opinion

I reread the story again and i came up with some answers (at least that's what i concluded till this point in the story)
1st. Was Dan's life miserable before meeting JJ? my answer is yes.
2nd. Did JJ hide his true self from Dan (or anyone) till now? my answer is no.
3rd. Did JJ offer Dan a way out of his financial status (i know he did it for himself)? my answer is yes.
4th. Could Dan refuse the offer knowing JJ's attitude and remain like he was? my answer is yes. He wasn't forced in accepting.
5th. Was JJ abusive, both emotionally and physically(during sex)? my answer is yes. But he didn't rape him. Rape involves not accepting what's going to happen.
6th. Has JJ ever hit Dan? my answer is no. But Dan did, twice.
7th. Has Dan's life improved from the moment they met? My answer is yes. Maybe he is an emotional wreck because he developed feelings towards him, but that's not JJ's fault.
8th. Why do people hate JJ so much? I'm yet to discover the answer to this question...Maybe it's because he doesn't fit the best character title, but the hate is unreasonable, concerning there are other characters who done worse, to mention one of the most lovable one Asami Ryuichi, from the Finder, who actually did rape his partner.
I very much like the story and the characters, and i mean all the characters, bad and good, because all of them are part of the storyteling. When a story is good, it's not only because of how appropriate or not are the behaviour of its characters and how lovable they are or aren't, but from the emotions it creates in you, love, anger, anguish, sadness and yes, even hate, but not the kind of hate that directs towards the author's choices, i don't agree with that at all.
Sorry for the long comment, i know some people will hate on me for my opinion, but it's only my opinion and i will stand behind it. Peace

    Sorry for butting into the conversation. JJK is undeniably a jerk—mean, egotistical, and hot-blooded. But let's go back and analyze it. JJK first meeting with Dan was awkward; Dan accidentally touched JJK’s... lemondeku

    Great points! You have an amazing memory, I personally do not remember the early events of the manhwa, but I think it's important that we all understand consent!
