Realization

So I was bored and re-read the whole thing from ch. 1 and I just realized now that Seonwoo is a great representation of adult ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder). To prove this point:

1. He functions best following a routine
2. Communication problems, inability to reciprocate shallow conversations
3. Unfiltered, and tactless, his inability to sugarcoat his words often leads to being misunderstood as rudeness
4. Selective knowledge. Extremely knowledgeable over certain deep topics, but dumb over common ones
5. Sensory issues, in this case, hypersexual sensitivity, his type is he craves stimulation.
6. Overthinker, and calculative. His ability to think situations over, calculate the possible end scenario(s), and plans ahead.
7. Inability to form human connections on his own. Hence he's much more expressive to his pet plants than human beings.
8. Believes his amazing skills aren't that special and that other people should've/could've done it too (his programming skill)
9. The desire to deeply understand things even if it means having people painstakingly explain everything in utmost detail.

Being someone diagnosed with autism late. I now understand why I relate to Seonwoo so much and how I really love his characteristics... This bitch thought he was just likeable, turns out I was projecting
