True, I do believe that Seungho's character "was written to Not be liked" in general, but there is a good chance that as end-game he would be getting some kind of redemption.
Author-nim did kind of give him a bit of redemption recently, but then was like, 'on 2nd thought....maybe Not just Yettttt.' Lol.
Author-nim is being a sly fox. Lol.(=・ω・=)
Oh 100%, his actions for most of the story have been to torment the boi (can’t remember his name for some reason). Sure, Seungho was opening up to him, but I think that that is the start of the arc if anything. We will ultimately see but character improvement should never be linear. If anything, this is just the first fall on the chart for him which is fine. That’s normal with people with trauma as well (as been hinted with Seungho addressing his rumors with the lighter haired dude)
Lol, the boy is 'Nakyum'. Those are good points you have stated that Seungho's "opening up" to Nakyum a little to be "the start of the arc" sounds to be about right and that "character improvement shouldn't be linear".(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
In order for a character's development to be truly profound it would best be multidimensional and take on quite a few turns for it to have the depth that it needs; and Especially when it involves people with trauma!(︶︿︶)
Beings with trauma and who have faced it are a whole facet of complexities, unfortunately for them. (._. )
Okay but friendly reminder, Seungho was written to not be liked- or at least is no where near a redemption arc if he even gets one/deserves one
