There is sm to say about this story, but what really bothers me is the fact that the ML gets shitted on this much. Let’s be honest this was a time that if you would say something against the higher ups you would die, knowing the risk he still talked the shit. What did u expect? The consequences where laid out to you from the start, if he was such a good dad he wouldnt have taken the risk knowing he still has two sons he needs to raise.
MC needs to let shit go and understand that the ML only did what was expected of him to do, if not him someone else would’ve come for his dads head anyway.
Secondly the ML (especially for this time of era) treats the mc incredible good, so idk where the hate comes from for him? (Before the whole killing attempt obviously). Considering this era where Lord’s would just pick, choice and random people, he is considered to him and very gentle. Sorry, this was my rant.

I do think the mc should try to use the weak spot that the ml has to his advantage better, like milk that boy dry for all his money. I wouldve closed that damn debt, or atleast half, the second he gave me the card and told me to spend it. If im getting traumatized I may as well come out of it good financially, cant have 2 traumas at once.

I partly get why the ex is trying to end on a good note, but he shouldve done it sooner. But having said that they were teenagers then and seeing the ex’s background and coming out of a religious household (which probably up until one point was abusive). Still absolutely not okay that he put the blame on Garam, but he probably had done it out of fear. What I really dont like tho is him coming up with the whole ‘I miss you’ talk, just say your sorry and stop trying to break up a happy couple.
The major obviously is trying to protect him, he has been doing this work for a long time and also has seen how it is and how people are treated when they aren’t privileged. Ppl are saying that his comment was too harsh, but was it? It truly is what happens to people that don’t have a status. If he keeps going he’s gonna be used in everyway possible and then killed. Him saying that is the least bad thing that can happen to him.
I do get the curiosity but curiosity also killed the cat so let’s be honest in this type of world building being too curious and suspicious is gonna get u killed.
I disagree. Curiosity gets you killed yes, but they're pawns being used for a chess match. If given the chance to dismantle the system and bring those who use people as pawns down to the chess board, wouldn't most? Only cowards continue to follow. They don't call em military dogs for no reason. They only know to take orders and without a master, they're useless. That's what Major Kwak is right now. A dog who follows orders.
lol take a look at the real world, and tell me how many cowards exist versus people willing to stop being pawns. The real world works like this story - everyone follows orders of those who are stronger, and the ones who resist are typically crushed.
You must not know history. There's plenty of examples of someone rising up to dismantle the system. Fall of Rome, fall of the Japanese imperial regime, French revolution, US war against Britain for independence. There's so many real world examples and you're telling me this fantasy world plot isn't heading in the direction of rebellion?
This is easily said bc you know he is the mc and won’t be killed in the end, there were probably thousands before him that tried and died suffering horrificly. The idea you portray I think is a little too idealistic. If we look at the world rn there are also thousands things going on where no one is able to do anything for innocent people being killed.
Major kwak is simply trying to protect him of what is inevitable if he keeps obviously going over the law, and you would probably do the same if it were your loved one. We don’t know yet what Major Kwak knows or has seen, he also isn’t the type to not go lurking around so he has probably done that already and has (I guess) a good idea of what’s going on. The doc is also way too carless when it comes to trying to sneak around the system, his curiosity is too loud, which I would too shush down if I was major Kwak.
I have a degree in international relations, which contains a strong history component. Please come up with an example where 1 person did as you suggest the doctor or major does, not a well-funded rebellion. There’s a ton of hidden support to the examples you offered that people seldom know. It’s apples and oranges. Who is rising up now while democracy falls apart in front of our eyes?
Also, you don’t need a history degree to understand psychology. Ever work in an office at a big company? What happens when you ‘go to HR?’ What happens to whistleblowers? lol unreal, the naïveté…
From the way you brought up your fake degree, I can tell you're a kid barely out of college, maybe even high school age. There is no point in continuing this conversation. But, I work AT a state hospital, kid. I KNOW what happens to "whistle-blowers" and conversations with HR. There's a zero tolerance to retaliation. People have won LAWSUITS against retaliations in my company. Once you actually start working, you'll actually see how dumb you sound. Also have you lost the plot? MC is not the ONLY one trying to take down the system, that's why he's trying to contact the Serpent and their organization. I said it takes a brave soul to fight against the system. I never said 1 person can do it all. Though they can be a huge catalyst. Anyways I'm bored now so reply as you like and come back and read this in a couple of years once your pre-frontal lobe is more developed.
What a douchebag lol. I was born in 1978 and work for a major global company with an HR hotline and non-retaliation policy as well. That’s for the little leagues, dumbass. Once you are talking about CEOs and politicians, it’s a different ball game. Get into the C-suite and you’ll find how things really work, you naive summer child. You original point hardly matters now that you’ve shown how little evidence it takes for you to come up with full-blown nonsense. I’d doxx myself if I was as dumb as you, just to prove you wrong. Lmfaoo @ fake degree (which exists in major universities everywhere lmfaoooo)
