I still can't fathom why people are so quick to label this as trash. Sure, the seme does make your blood boil, but have you seen the black and grey flags in novels and danmei? The manhuas and other stories where the ukes/shous are treated like rags, the seme/gong's friends and family constantly insult them, or where they're just treated as convenient sex friends despite being together? Compared to that, Jinx is honestly a walk in the park.
Maybe it's because my tolerance for red flags is set a bit higher than what Jaekyung brings to the table. I mean, at least he makes some small effort—saving Dan, being considerate to his grandma, etc.—despite it being a purely transactional relationship from the start. But yeah, I'm not saying he's not guilty.
I just wish there were more specific tags on Mangago, like they have on NovelUpdates, so readers know what they're getting into. It would save everyone time and brain cells, and we wouldn't have to endure people cursing at a character and hating the manhwa with every update. It's common sense that a story doesn't have to cater to every reader. If you don't like something, then please, just drop it.
My apologies if this unexpectedly offended anyone. I'm just sharing my thoughts since everyone's freely cursing while still reading this. It's not criticism; I'm just saying that my tolerance for scum is on another level. If you haven't read any wife-chasing crematorium novels (like the 188 series), I highly recommend them. You'll get a gist of what real son-of-a-bitches and scumbags look like.
I'm not defending Jaekyung's actions as being all good—because they're not. That's why I'm here, reading for the sole purpose of the chasing arc (and the art too) and hoping for a long redemption arc. And I hope we won't be waiting that long to reach there.
