While i understand your point in this and I also agree that every writer/author should do their research well when they talk about something, I have to disagree with the fact that it would be insulting to trauma survivors if the depiction here is different from what's expected. Because because there's no particular way in the real world as to how someone reacts to a particular trauma. While we can chalk down and guess someone's past and their traumas based on how they are in current time, it's never 100% correct(it's not even 50% correct most times) in any scenario. 2 people can behave totally different to a similar trauma in life, so different that you cant believe they have similar backstories. So I hope author depicts the stories well but I don't think it would be well to expect them to make the characters behave a certain way because there is no definite coping mechanism to begin with.
There's no such thing as the perfect victim. People react to things differently. I would understand if you hoped the author would do research for scenes involving therapy for the characters
Victims don't have a fixed behavior or set of pattern that they all must follow through. Everyone copes with trauma in their own different way, 2 people who went through the exact same thing in the same way can have drastically different behavior in the aftermath. So I think it would be insulting at all.
For now I am liking how the author is portraying Minjae and his past, I find it realistic enough.
I am concerned that if this isn’t based off a novel I hope the manhua artist did their research on trauma and so forth. I say this because it would be a little insulting to actual trauma survivors if the characters in this story are not reacting or behaving in any way shape or form like actual trauma survivors whatever the trauma may be. <_< it’s pretty interesting so far
