The moment you said "The author REALLy tried to make the mc “complex” and tried to add “depths”, but absolutely no, he’s a piece of shit." and "Instead he made it ALL ABOUT HIM", I knew you're missing the point already. Like way too far missed the point. Like this statement is pretty dumb and outrageous.
Obviously, it's all about MC since it's his POV. We are seeing their world in his eyes and his thoughts. That's what being a "main character" is, if you haven't realized that. If you're so, ooh, disagree with me, then find me a manhwa or novel that doesn't revolve around the main character.
Secondly, Junwoo is bullying Taesan because he likes him, not because of MC kind of influencing everything (as you said, which kinds of contradictory to your statement btw). If not for MC, the bullying wouldn't even end. So, what do you meant about "he has the RIGHT to stand up or at least ACKNOWLEDGE it was his fault and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT."? Is it that he approached Taesan that he should be at fault about all this? Come on, seriously. Are you that damn recluse and pathetic to think like that? Even without MC's interference, Junwoo would still bully Taesan because that's the only way for Junwoo to get Taesan's attention. Of course MC would be involved because in Taesan and the whole class' eyes, MC was Taesan's savior. Despite MC's hidden intentions, you should be happy that he was defending someone from a bully at that.
And lastly, you're mid to last sentence reeks of "I'm dry since birth". Seriously, nobody can control human emotions. Logically speaking, you can't control who you will like in the first place. It will only up to time for people to move on from their unrequited love. But sadly, it didn't apply to you since you've never got or have that.
Stay dry, I guess.
Assumptions. You say I have missed the point but you seem to have not even UNDERSTAND my point.
Assumptions again because I’ve most definitely faced an unrequited love, and also everybody has I’m sorry but it’s common sense?
Also doesn’t invalidate my point, that is, both action wise and thought wise mc is not a kind person. That was my point entirely? He did make it all about him??
And about him making it all about himself, do you know how a main character works? No it’s not all about them, not when someone is being severely bullied. “It only happened because the short haired guy wanted attention” well he’s clearly very close to the bully why couldn’t he have taken that drastic step where the bully stops bullying the victim BEFORE? He did after he was consumed by his jealousy, did you notice that? Please
The entire paragraph is assumption what am I going to say against this do y’all actually READ what I say?? Well actually you guys do need comprehension skills too.
We all know and we knew even after that “promise” an abuser will abuse the victim. My point isn’t stopping the abuse, my point is that he did not do much. He didn’t withdraw himself completely but he also didn’t really help the victim all that much. Is that an issue where you will have to reply to me?
I'll be honest this story is just not it for you. You want a good person as the mc but the thing is the mc isn't the best person. He is socially closeted and he is fucking scared. You have no time to be a good person when you don't even feel like a person. That's why I think you're shitty for saying he's not complex and assuming we can't read for shit. A work of literature can be read in many
My god are you retarded
I said I would STILL read this because the mc is simply unlikeable I’m fine w it BUT THE MC IS UNLIKEABLE??
To actually hold this as the same as “literature”
Y’all really think this some kafka shit it’s so sad
I don’t even think y’all are readers if you cannot even comprehend critics
Moreover please do read actual books to understand “complex” characters truly for I am now under the assumption that yaois are the only pieces of novels you read.
I feel like this conversation devolved pretty quickly and I agree with the other person that you don't seem to understand the point of the story? I understand that the MC comes across unlikeable and such but that's the point of the story. The guy is in the midst of highschool as someone closeted and knows that he'll never be able to show his feelings to his crush.
The bully's actions are no way in his control and I get the feeling of wanting him to stop it but the point is that his actions have no value in the situation really. The bully doesn't care about him, the MC is just one of the many friends he can hang out with and that's shown with the lack of regard he shows the MC. The decision to start bullying and continue bullying is all in the hands of the actual bully.
Tbh you can even say that the MC provided more good in the situation, giving Taesan both physical and emotional support. Though that doesn't excuse the MC's thoughts.
I can appreciate the writer not making it a black and white situation, often people end up liking people who aren't the greatest and even when you know that you still crave their attention. This is that situation.
I feel like it'll progress to the MC exploding his thoughts to Taesan when they have a one to one or something. Would be an interesting scene.
I feel like it doesn't need to be said that of course the focus would be on the MC? He is our main character and point of view after all.
Sorry for the tirade you don't need to read if u don't want :). Also please don't put the author and other readers down just because you can't carry on a conversation properly.
Please try to comprehend properly.
If you CAN read you’ll see I’m making only an observation.
Everyone who has replied has seemed to only read the first paragraph.
All of you need to touch grass, understand, comprehend, properly read, analyse then come at me.
Yes please do be sorry because this is extremely tiring. I will read the story for the sole reason of the mc being an asshat.
I cannot actually believe how slow you all can be.
I’m worried for you all. Please read your question papers properly before answering.
1. Clearly I’ve said CLEARLY MY GOD that bully will continue, it was his actions that I expected. I said “I didn’t care whether or not he continued” because I knew he would still.
My point is, he took actions only on compulsion, out of his jealousy, that really doesn’t “elevate the situation” because oh “mc was helping!”
Yeah you’re right he was.
It is extremely clear that both of you don’t seem to actually understand the gravity of the situation at all in the story.
That’s fine, not everyone can handle it. My point is, are you guys twelve years old that you guys cannot take any words of mine? Are you a small child that you do not understand what I’m saying?
Do you guys think you’re reading and cracking jane Austen??? This is a yaoi Manhwa. What the FUCK do you mean “I don’t understand the Manhwa”, we’re on an illegal site reading a story with YAOI in the tags. That is worrying.
The author REALLy tried to make the mc “complex” and tried to add “depths”, but absolutely no, he’s a piece of shit.
First of all, short black haired guy was getting bullied only because of the mc btw, because indirectly it did influence everything. I’m not saying the mc should be absolutely excessively guilty, but he has the RIGHT to stand up or at least ACKNOWLEDGE it was his fault and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Instead he made it ALL ABOUT HIM. I hate these types of people. That guy was vigorously bullied, yet he wants to be your friend. No matter what, he’s doing WORSE THAN YOU CLEARLY!! You don’t need to stand up at least apologise and feel sorry for HIM NOT YOU. We do not care if you actually harbour feelings for that guy, clearly he’s being a great boyfriend! He’s doing the role of an abusive husband perfectly! Logically speaking you shouldn’t even have a crush on a guy like that after what you saw and how he behaves still. Idk man this is not at all complex just messed up. It’s definitely not human, the mc is MADE to be unlikable. If that’s the case I’m reading. I’m reading only for Yohan. If I was Yohan I wouldn’t fuck w this selfish twink. But I understand that he’s made to be unlikable because clearly I will not condone or call this character “good”. I’m not asking him to be a “very good i stand up for every bully justice is served!” type of guy but at least have some sort of kindness?
