The smut was phenomenal (except the asshole husband of Lora). It is unfortunately realistic that there are naive people, men and women, who pursue a relationship with someone even though it won't certainly work out. It was a pain in the ass to so the FL holding back with her childhood friend, there was already attraction and other premises for a good relationship (Why go the easy and healthy way, right?).
what makes then uncomfortable after reading chapter 6.
Both did their part in this mess, so there's no way to really tell who's in the wrong or right.
But referring to the seme, desperately (?) trying to get drunk and fuck someone else to get uke jealous would make me personally question, if I'd want to start a relationship with him. The uke is a pain in the ass being in denial with his feelings but the seme was overdoing it with the one night stand to get a reaction from the uke. However, it feels like seme would do other rather questionable things next time they might have a fight like flirting with others or something else that is uncomfortable for the uke to get his reaction again.
It's pretty realistic, not sure if it is healthy though
SPOILER
Param will take matters into his hands and face Hwi to apologize and asks for a second chance ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I'm not defending Param here, poor Hwi(〜￣△￣)〜
But to be precise, they weren't in a relationship yet. It's astonishing how much people would hate on a character that might be doing something morally questionable and gets WAY more hate than a typical yaoi character/male lead that raped the MC and then has lovey-dovey relationship with him.
I see people keep saying this but there have been no valid data to this claim. Like this is more of a easy story ( a simple love triangle and work office/gym love) so most reader are people who seek for fluff (and some spicy scene) so when confronted with as you said morally questionable mc it more likely to trigger them as they been used to fluff story with a protagonist halo MC
But when it comes to rapey story the target audience is of course different and in most cases only small portion of the fluff reader actually go and read the rapey story. Majority of rapey story I encountered have a story building that focus on the ML bad personality since the beginning chapters and that chapters is what filtered out people who enjoy THAT kind of story and people who against it. People who stay of course would less likely curse the rapist ML as they went in knowing the type of story and stay because they enjoy it or at least intrigued to keep track of the plot.
So yeah by looking at it briefly rapist ML have smaller hate . Anyways hope it understandable.
It does make sense that the audience is different, hence the reactions as well.
However, I respect the author to do her thing, not bowing down to the typical yaoi tropes (second ML almost never sleeps with MC, seme is mostly the promiscuous/experienced one etc.).
And Param's choices are not that far away from reality, I'd personally wouldn't do it, but I can understand Param.
Imagine your longtime crush (finally) showing interest and even taking initiative. You can't deny that everyone has an ego (thankfully just to a certain point most of the time) and immediately denies the attention of the one person they looked up as well.
Spoiler...
... it's definitely not an excuse but Param will regret it and realize his fault right after Han and him did it.
Still, feels wrong but it is to a certain degree somehow understandable. Not to forget that we're dealing with a person with almost no dating experience (Hwi was his first as far as I remember). So getting attention like that is something you wouldn't toss it out of the window
but I dropped it as soon as Hanhoo beat that poor naive(?) MC. Hopefully he'll return the favour
But doesn't change the fact you hired people to kidnap and rape Heesoo (the latter is severe enough to break off all contact and throw that mental piece of shit in jail to rot)
*chowon improves* bUt iT dOesNt cHanGe tHe fAcT tHaT

Get my point? Yeah, it drfinetely doesnt change the fact and will never change. But the person changed and holding it against them forever is sis downright stupidity.
He didn’t change yet though. He’s still the same. When he changes and deeply regrets his actions yeah then he deserves a second chance. As long as that’s not the case he definitely does not. And even when he changes he definitely does not deserve being friends with dojun and co cause that ship has sailed a long time ago.
Second that. You may change but please try to take responsibility for your past actions. It's the part of ignoring past actions and putting them aside, just because you changed (without ever apologizing/trying to make it right)
Has someone the link to the raws please (づ￣ ³￣)づ
