I quit reading the side stories as soon as the red head story came up. Then I came back today just to finally finish this manhwa and put it to rest.
I don’t understand people who were genuinely rooting for him.
As a reader, I was disgusted with him for a long time for what he was doing to Suha and the sadistic shit he was doing. So I got really pissed at the idea that Suha’s close friend might get into a relationship with his best friend’s abuser of many years. That made me sick to my stomach.
I would understand it if the red head (didn’t even bother to remember his name, yes) changed a little. However, even if he went to therapy and atoned for what he did, I am still disgusted with him and don’t want to see his own story. Like just a mention that he got a happy end somewhere? Good for him. Reading his story? No, thank you.
And he didn’t even change. The story literally ended with him almost killing the person he was in love with, so I don’t understand people grasping for straws for his ‘character development’. Like, feeling bad for what he did is a BARE minimum as a person. And then he just started stalking the guy anyway and promised to never give up. A character development would’ve been him realising how much his life spiralled down and he needs to work on himself, letting go of the guy to let him be happy without him. That’s character development where he would’ve shown that he is starting putting someone’s happiness over his and stopping being selfish piece of shit, but no. He is still the same piece of shit.
Then there is constant torture of that red head. Yes, I fucking hate his guts, but that was just disgusting. Also, the fact that this fucking piece of shit needed all that torture to gain just a tiny fraction of character development (mind you, it still didn’t make him feel bad for what he did to Suha. not even a mention of him regretting), then it’s just a further proof that the character is ass and I don’t want to see his development.
Dear author, if you don’t know how to write an unlikeable character and their redemption afterwards, don’t fucking write then. I’m all for asshole characters getting character development, because when it’s written right - it’s mind opening and gain more empathy/different perspective. With this piece of shit story, it was going nowhere and led to nowhere.
Their side story was ass and nothing can change my opinion. The character is ass. The story is ass. Development is ass. Ending is ass. Everything is ass.
