i’m gonna be nice because it seems you are just ignorant: he has mental illness. that does not make him selfish or rude or an asshole or undeserving of the same kind of love everyone else experiences. someone who is self-deprecating is not “whiny” or “insufferable,” they are hurting. that is not his personality speaking when he is saying rude things or acting coldly to chun sam—it’s his illness. PLEASE be careful with phrasing. i know it was definitely not your intention to belittle or degrade those who suffer from mental illness, but it most definitely came off that way.
It seems you may be the ignorant one on this topic not me .... everything you said about the way he acts is correct, HOWEVER mental illness will never EVER give you the right to treat someone like shit. Obviously we dont know exactly what mental illness he had, but like i stated before, it seemed like he had severe depression. Ive had depression before, but i never allowed it make me treat my loved ones like garbage. Any you probably should reread my statement because not once did i say he did not deserve love, he absolutely does, but he definitely need to love himself before he starts with any one else
This was one of the very first bls i read and i couldn't remember why i never reread it...until i did It was mainly due to the mc being the way he is. At first you really feel bad for him because his dad is a piece of literal shit and he has a very sad upbringing, but all throughout the story hes sooo freaking insufferable. hes so whiny and self deprecating it was pmo . Dont even get me started on how he treated the one person who was trying to be good to him, like complete crap( the ml). And before yall get mad, i def still feel for the MC, hes only a high schooler who lost one parent and had to endure abuse from the other one. And on top of that he got done dirty by his first love. He def has some type of pstd/ depression , but i just dont like how his anger is usually directed to the ML who quite literally did nothing wrong. I do still think its worth the read tho especially if you like angst!!
