Honestly we don know there isn’t really any proper closure or explicit backstory on him and that pos han junwoo. Taesan shows up later in the novel only to warn jun that Yohan looks at him the same way Junwoo looked at Taesan, and he’s like be careful but at that point Jun kept denying it even though multiple people would begin to point it out Yohan is not slick at all. I was honestly really disappointed with how it ended I hope the author has some side stories showing Taesan in a better place. The very last chapter of the novel is Yohan’s POV of the story and it only goes up to the beginning which just left me upset cuz I was curious about what he was thinking in some of the most crucial moments but oh well

some people really need to stop putting irl morals to fictional stories. it's fiction for a reason.

But fiction is informed by reality and the world we live in. Does this mean writers can't imagine what they write differently? Of course, not. But it does mean that the closer the writer's fiction is to contemporary realities then, quite reasonably, it will judged by them.
Some of you keep on trying to pretend this away and I don't know why. You would not be able to understand the story without using real world knowledge. When you analyse fiction in a classroom are the questions the teacher asked not asking you to use that? Quite often the authors intentionally write stories that encourage you to do it!
Obviously, a lot of titles set a particular tone where the reader understands it's not going for realism in all things. And some would argue romance in general is about offering a kind of fantasy. But If a ML cheated on a MC we would be mad/annoyed/shocked etc because of "real world morals" about monogamy, commitment, trust etc. A fantasy like Harry Potter is working with "real world morals" ideas around good, evil, justice etc. There are more complex arguments about fiction and morality that you maybe wanted to make but that blanket statement isn't it.

my statement is clearly used in fandom spaces to basically say fiction isn't real, so it shouldn't be judged by real world standards. it just implies a strict separation between art and real life ethical frameworks. there's a line between engaging with fiction thoughtfully and demanding it always conform to real world moral expectations. of course fiction is informed by reality, and we naturally bring our values to what we read or watch but sometimes people in this space forget that fiction also gives us space to explore uncomfortable, taboo, or morally gray situations safely. this doesn't mean to ignore harmful messaging but it does mean allowing space for exploration in fiction without immediately jumping to moral condemnation.
enjoying those type of content doesn’t mean someone condones that behavior in real life (as that's what most "antis" paint some people to be). most people are capable of ethical compartmentalization.

as some of you guys might know, this series was being published over at peanut toon however, peanut toon has closed down. the author has requested early termination of the series so there is going to be a hiatus while the author is looking for a different platform to publish this. i think they may be transferring to bom toon as most authors from peanut have been moving over there after the closure. no official announcement from the author tho.
will someone take care of his bitchass brother already? also, why is his grandpa not doing anything to protect yigon? if he wants competition between his two possible successors, shouldn't he make sure that neither crosses the line? doesn't he already know that the older brother is actively trying to kill yigon?
