I think the only reason why people believe he’s being “manipulative” is because he’s not begging on his knees to say sorry. There’s been so many “chasing arcs” in comics that I think it’s making people think if they’re not jumping in a pit of lava to say sorry then it’s not genuine. Bro is making multiple efforts and has apologized multiple times. Though I can see why ppl might feel he’s not genuine, idk something about the way he looks when he’s trying but maybe that just lies with the art idk and lack of good facial expressions.

Yeah I’ve never felt he’s manipulative, he’s been upfront about his feelings and he’s right to have told MC about everything. But I do feel like he’s not really taking MC’s feelings seriously with the whole “I’m not the XYZ work thing that you hate right now, I’m your neighbor” thing. A) his parody account is a personal project, and B) if MC is genuinely upset by it then asking him to treat it like something that exists in a vacuum outside of their personal relationship is pretty shitty. I think that’s why it seems a bit insincere.
So not toxic, just kind of an asshole IMO.

please someone tell me there's a novel to this or tell me when its coming back?!? Please I'm so desperate rn I love this story so much

I dunno if there are free versions but I bought the Korean novel from Google Play books:

They were super cheap and I read by the built in machine translation

Translated till chapter 37

Omg it’s like talking to a brick wall. DUDE HAVENT BEEN OPEN ABOUT ANYTHING AND NOW HES CLAIMING HE WAS?? Im so tired and I’m not even in their relationship

Him trying to solve the problem by avoiding it is only leading to that VERY PROBLEM. Instead of being open and honest about everything he's just avoiding the conversation in hopes that would work which is effectively leading to the demise of their relationship. Sure he may be truthful, I don't think he's lying but he hasn't built that trust so the MC could feel safe enough to believe what he says BECAUSE he decided not to say anything… he's handicapping himself… (doesnt help he comes across nonchalant when he says he likes the MC) I don't doubt the Mc has insecurities but the ML isn't making it any easier on the MC

If you’re unable to separate personality from your likes and dislikes ofc you’d be offended if I called this story slop. You people think it’s a personal attack when someone doesn’t like that same thing as you. You telling me to stop saying I don’t like it isn’t gonna stop me from saying it. You’re acting like the author is gonna give you a jaekyung shaped dildo for you’re oh so brave efforts. So what now?

Why are people so surprised people hate on this. Imma keep hating. You’ll be aight if you see a couple hate comments. Just keep enjoying your badly remade bj Alex slop.

Dude, in the end we will still enjoy this cause some of us like fucked up plots and asshole characters, others got invested in Dan, others just read it superficially and so on. What do u get by wasting your time "hating" on something, trying to hopelessly prove you're better than others? Damn do u lead that sad a life?
uuhhh umm surprise!! Happy birthday??
