This part!!! The rape part is so off putting for me! I have no idea what the author expects us to feel towards the gray haired guy but that whole part feels so out of place. I thought the story was going to go somewhere completely different but instead all of those people who were witnessing it and instigating it just go off with no repercussion?
The couple with the archer was also extremely off for me they never even brought up the fact that they knew each other from their childhoods which made just not care about their sub plot at all it was just toxic
I get it’s just a comic but a portion of it is just really negative and dealt with extremely heavy topics that felt down played in a way. Like a gay man blackmailing another whilst understanding the social stigma and how damaging it could be and (the ex president still received no sort of punishment for that!!)
It’s literally the middle of the night so everything i write might be incoherent but basically i agree with you. The way the antagonists were able to get away with literally anything and how we’re expected to support and like a character who is practically a fatphobe really ruined the expectations i had for this one
I started reading this because it was on someone's masterpiece list, but I dunno if I would call it that. I don't get a lot of good vibes from most of the characters. Beside the main couple, the only couple that seems healthy is the otaku couple, and that started from bullying. We also don't know if the narcissistic guy actually love the sunbae or if he's just into him because he is thin.
The ending also felt a bit rushed because a lot of characters seems to have a lot of unresolved issues like with Dunno and the ex president. Also, I really hated when bad people basically got away with only a slap on a wrist instead of I dunno, maybe put away in jail, or juvie? Not sure about Korean laws but I'm pretty sure attempted rape is serious business.
All in all, I wouldn't say I hated the manhwa, but I don't love it either. It's just wasn't for me I guess..
