Actually by definition:
Antisocial personality is a personality disorder characterized by a long term pattern of disregard for, or violation of, the rights of others. A low moral sense or conscience is often apparent, as well as a history of crime, legal problems, or impulsive and aggressive behavior.
Seunghee is more suitable to be Asocial behavior : avoiding social interaction; inconsiderate of or hostile to others.
So yeah it's very different in meaning unlike most ppl think
I wasn't meaning the personality disorder; I meant the actual word "antisocial" which means "not social; not wanting the company of others". Asocial behavior is also pretty similar to this though, so I understand. (^^,,)
People bashing the MC are weirdos that lack empathy tbh and can't put themselves in his shoes.
He's been shunned & physically abused by his own family for being gay & crossdressing so all he wants to do is live high school life as quietly as possible. Also, Seungtaek & Kyubin are NOT his friends. Kyubin literally bullied him & used him for his little game and Seungtaek approached him only because he felt responsible for Kyubin and low-key wanted to antagonise his own love interest, the fact he has shut them out and doesn't want to be pals with them doesn't make him an asshole or antisocial. Like he approached the pedo dude and formed a type of friendship, he just needs someone that he can relate to and feel safe with.
Guys! Human beings are always ready to talk shit about anyone. Over here Seunghee is an 'Antisocial because of the people'! The way People treated him in past has what turned him into who he is now! Nobody is seeing the world through his eyes but are only accusing Seunghee to be the wrong one!
Honestly speaking, if a person has never been treated like an outcast, they will never know what it feels like! I have experienced it myself when I elementary school, got bullied for being of different weight and color than others. I almost got molested too. I got PTSD which resulted in me having severe depression and anxiety. I thought I was Abnormal because I didn't even know anything about mental health until recently. People treated me like shit. They have just never been in my shoes and have no idea of how uncomfortable they make me. I can't trust anyone and end up getting paranoid when they try to SOCIALIZE!
he isn't human tho, this is a literary piece of fiction. as you have so wantonly expressed your opinion and even insulted some readers (why? lol) other readers can do the same. as a character he's incredibly uninteresting though tbh I was really into him in the beginning. a character that repeatedly acts in just now way gets stale pretty fast.
typo correction: in just one* way
also regarding the human comment .. I feel like sukyeo and kyubin (so sorry for misspellings!) feel way more real to me. they have their main personalities but also have moments where they show their flaws, where they grow in unexpected ways, etc. way more 3D than a chara that is bitchy throughout practically the whole story so far.
I understand where you are coming from, however, I feel that lately Seung-taek and Kyubin have had much more of an appearance in the story than Seunghee has. We've seen the progression of their relationship from the beginning and have seen the growth of their character development. Seunghee's character has been pushed back because of this, and his development as a character has gone much slowly.
Keep in mind that the author has yet to explain Seunghee's intention with the blonde guy that he met online, or any of the other encounters he's had online. Seunghee has (from what we know) always had to fend for himself as a gay cross-dressing teen, and has never had the moral support of a best friend (unlike Seung-taek and Kyubin who have known each other for years) or a guiding/understanding parental figure. He doesn't seem to trust anyone due to this factor, and ultimately comes off as rude and bitchy. Until his motivations are made clear, I don't think it is fair to cast him off as such a simple person. I did not mean to come off as rude or offensive to anyone that disliked Seunghee; I just feel that he is being blatantly misjudged. I know he is just a character in a story, however, he is a representative of what some people have to deal with in real life.
obviously it's because we're still in kyutaek's arc which is why the emphasis of the story isn't on seunghee. the reason why he keeps showing up is bcs he IS the main character and it is his story in a sense as well. it's just that his actual story where he is the driver of his own plot isn't starting yet so ppl being mean towards him was uncounted for. we're still in chapter 46 but the story goes beyond 90 chapters and seunghee's arc won't really start until the story is more than halfway done. also, all of this is fiction but they all are portrayed as human, and humans can be capable of acting as if he's the same all the time bcs no one ever had a glimpse of his actual thoughts and circumstances. ppl can gush over and love kyutaek even though they're fiction, though? so why can't we empathise over seunghee as well? he's not rude for no reason. his life wasn't really happy. he has a lot of room to grow and its not even his own story yet. it's literally someone else's bl manhwa right now. and anyone can so wantonly express their opinion in this illegal site so i don't know why you feel defensive and insulted by this comment in the first place but you do you sis.
all points are made. i agree.
lol bruh, I’m coming from a fellow writer’s perspective. The other two MCs could lead the arc but seunghee could still be more well-developed. In countless other stories, authors successfully create secondary characters. Seunghee is very flat lined - all he does is bitch. Not interesting at all, even as a secondary character, which honestly is a mistake on the author’s part and a disservice to the chara. As to you trying to make this personal, whatever. Whether or not we are both reading this illegally, I as well as others can critically look at a story and give our opinions. Obviously the story is not a complete failure as many as invested in the two MCs arc but I am starting to agree that Seunghee as initial narrator was unnecessary and pointless.
The intentions of the under developed character are very clear. He simultaneously feels like everyone is beneath him (that they are idiots etc) and also out to get him so he indulges the only person who has given him explicit positive attention. To the point where he ignores red flags. Blonde chara is predatory; it’ll take quite a bit for author to make me him bc he’s so utterly creepy. And to redeem Seunghee as narrator, author will have to give him more depth to personality - reacting more warmly to others friendly gestures, distancing from creepy online dude, etc.
"seunghee could still be more well-developed" this is what i'm trying to say though. this is a bl manhwa. whose bl is it? who's the main pairing? kyutaek. that's it. i'm not saying the author is perfect and i'm not here to say you can't be opiniated. i just thought you took it personally when op never addressed anyone in particular and gave my two cents. i never said seunghee is an angel, i'm just saying the spotlight isn't on him. the emphasis is on the other two mcs that made up the main pairing. that's why its understandable that seunghee hasn't really shown any character development. what was shown abt him is that hes a crossdressing gay, is reckless in making decisions and is negative abt almost everything bcs of who he is. is he bitchy? i don't deny that. but i've read the raws and the story has shifted to his arc as soon as kyutaek's issue is resolved. now i don't understand korean but things are looking great for seunghee in his arc. anyways, i don't mind you not liking seunghee and calling him unnecessary. but you gotta understand that some ppl relate to him bcs of similar circumstances they face. ppl shut off others away when theres no longer trust. if seunghee developed his character later, i hope you can extend the same courtesy as you did to kyutaek's. but you don't hv to! ppl hv different perspectives in reading the same story so its understandable that our opinions clashed. the author may fuck up and seunghee may not develop at all, but judging from the raws, i'm hopeful. anyways, cheers! sorry if i offended you, i was quite rude myself.
fucking preach.
@ everyone who's hating on seunghee right now: people like you are the reason why people like seunghee are antisocial. Let him have a right to his privacy because you don't know anything about him.
If you have never had any friends before and then suddenly all these people tried getting involved with you, wouldn't you be suspicious? Seunghee has never had many friends before, so he is suspicious of other people's intentions and is quick to shut them off. It's what most antisocial people do, and although it seems rude, it's understandable.
He's human.
