Feeling old now and begging for answers

It's been 840 years

By this point they should have 12 children, the slow burn is reeeeally slow in this (I still love it, crying)

so being pissed at someone for acting homophobic in a gay story means we lack empathy lmaoo okay

There! You proved my point! You are so prejudiced that you didn't even get her, she isn't homophobic, she fears being the black sheep, she is afraid of being not like everyone else! And she understood her mistake of intervening in someone else's business! As a reader, I can understand her if I put myself in her shoes (truly becoming her) then I can see the relevancy. Details are important in a story, but many readers love overgeneralization, it's easy and answers my overwhelmed emotions. An experienced readers however is not as judgmental (I can say it since I hold a master degree in literature)

And I am a bit dyslexic, so that's even more disappointing for me to see people not caring about ALL the characters. Only holding the main couple as important is what I did as a teenager.

Acting all high and mighty i see you think you're better lol but there! You also proved my point ^^ just say you're homophobic and move on dude there's no need for deep interpretation and i also don't need to put myself into her shoes it was clearly what the author intended to tell and pretty much everyone got it beside you hahh you also don't need to read novels too get it lol

Even if we understand her, It's not like she made an effort to fit in due to her parent's neglect...she just ran away to the village (valid, not critizing her actions) but for her to put effort (unnecessary at that) at making ML 'fit in' feels strange.
U have to consider mc too, who she did not even consider would be affected by her actions and proceeded to try to set ml up with girls.

Wishing you a more experienced mindset. But if you thought I'm better than you, I'm honored. It comes with age tho, so your frustration is nostalgic, you'll get there hopefully (get old I mean) and expand your horizons. Think out of the box from time to time, labeling others as homophobic left and right doesn't make you a better person either. ;)

That's right, that's her error as a character, doesn't make her a tragic hero,not at all, she's certainly flawed, but not homophobic, she is lost as what she can do for others not to end up as her ... alone. So I get your point, she too needs to face her problems instead of dragging othes into hers. Tho people's reactions were way more intense, as they did not get her (if they don't even get what kind of mistake she committed, then how can they criticize her? I just got disappointed, it seemed as if they copy pasted each others' comments. Which is okay, but a sheep move.

pretty sure I'm older than you but yea sure ageism is also another thing to add but yes if calling homophobia as what it is something bad ppl do so be it i guess ^^

You are a funny person to talk to! Noffense but wasn't it you who said there is no need for "deep interpretation"! So allow me to assume you don't even get me (let alone the characters). That makes you a poor judge of character in rl (as I've concluded so far). And okay, we'll say you're older, so by revealing it, doesn't it make you the one trying to act "all high and mighty" (besides me of course lol who dares to question your judgments)? is it a game? Lol (honestly I'm laughing right now). It also seems you want to have the last word, so there you go! You can have it! It's all yours.

I do understand everyone else tho, her backstory does seem irrelevant because no one excluded her explicitly? No one hated her or refused to support her when she was in the city, she herself felt lonely/othered, and decided to to run away.
Now if u compare or try to relate that to her actions that she took, actions of trying to set someone up because of all the mental gymnastics one has to do, to come to the conclusion of 'loneliness from parental neglect' = (potential) 'loneliness from being an unconventional couple'....does not work well honestly.
I personally think it's okay to hate a poorly written character.
Author had, as many others mentioned, better ways to have made her character more sympathetic to the readers, but author has clearly failed to do so with her backstory.

Waited patiently for the next chapter,
Did you see that the author didn't fail? :)
.
Ho does have sympathy unlike most people (including some readers), he sees the flaw but also tries to understand, that's what makes him a great mc

I mean how did mention her story is specific to her, the main aim was to get the characters talking about their relationship and establish it, author could've definately done a better job at leading up to this moment, not denying how endearing their conversation was, just agreeing that the girl's input seemed irrelevant.
If someone tells me they were neglected as a child I would feel sympathetic towards them, sure.
But if the said someone (mi ok is an adult i believe) spread my number around town to force me into a heterosexual relationship against my will, and shows no remorse for their actions? See now that's something manhwa characters can forgive, and perhaps you op will forgive too, but I and most people would have kept their distance from such individuals.
