I totally understand not liking Ben (he's not exactly my fave either) but! I think it's important and very interesting to see where he's coming from. Without this backstory, we lack a lot of context for basically all his scenes in the entirety of the story. For someone so integral to the plot, that would just feel like bad writing.
If you don't like it, don't read it but I believe this is the right thing to do. Every character plays a part in this story. It's only fair that they get their share of screentime. I also think that this backstory is written really interestingly, so even if he's not my favorite character, I am absolutely enjoying it and I am curious to see how this ties back into the main story and into his behavior.

Ben wasn't written in the most likeable way and I think that is precisely why it's so interesting to see his backstory and to finally gain some understanding of why he acts the way he does. It doesn't excuse any of his actions (not to me, at least) but it does shed some light on his motives and the way he feels.

At the end of the day, we are all entitled to our own opinions. I just don't really see the point in people complaining. You're on a free site. The author is not going to see this. The author will not bend to your wishes. Either wait until it's over and read then (if it bothers you so), read along and enjoy it for what it is, or just work through those feelings.

I am so happy to see that granny seems to be doing a bit better. I am sure it'll at least ease the burden on Dan's heart a little bit. Poor him I am glad we got to see him and that he looks like he's at least physically taking care of himself. I had been worried he might be letting himself go.
At least, the new environment is not giving him additional issues to stress over.

I am really curious to see how his and Jaekyung's first encounter after time apart is going to go. I cannot see JK in his current state being rational at all, to be honest
