Its not about which protagonist of a manga has it worse. Focus on this plot of the story not the others cause this actually happens in real life.
When you were always 1st place on everything and someone steals your title after everything youve been putting effort to. It really depressing
If Jinwoo was just a scholar and he needed to maintain his rank then it'll be all over for him if Sangtae did steal it.
And the thought of your classmate actually intentionally sabotaging your life is really harsh.
This is not a proper excuse. I skimmed through the first parts and skipped some parts in the middle. I don't hate the guy, but I still don't like him. He's doing it for his parents, fine. But the other guy commented that megane could have gone to a much better college, and only chose not to because he wanted to bother this guy. At the point I realized it was all intentional just to bother the other guy, I just really wanted megane to get punched I cheered when he went after him with a bat, but even that got nowhere.
I really hate bullying, especially in a bl trope like this. I've read other comments, and I feel like I'm totally going to hate the megane, so I'll wait before I start reading. If he doesn't at least get sh*t his way at some point, and a lot of it, I probably won't go for it. Playing on people's insecurities and inferiority is sadly not something I can get off on, no matter how good the art and smut looks (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸
