Why is the ML getting so much backlash?

Eve April 19, 2025 1:48 am

I reread this after losing interest for a while but why are all the comments bashing the ML? Compared to many other manhwas with similar plots or characters, the ML in this is far from dogshit Jaekyung. Yea he isn't nice sometimes but you can tell by his actions he isn't a complete dickhead like even in the very beginning when he actually lets Yigon sleep and rest, etc. You can tell from his thoughts, he feels something is off and isn't straight fucked up. Has everybody forgotten that Yigon DID NOT TELL Taekang, what his grandfather said and how that whole dinner ended? Yes he told him that his brother is trying to kill him, but its a lil hard to believe and nothing really suggests that ML knows knows. IDK I dont get the hate and in fact see the potential in this story since from the very beginning ML and MC has shown that they are somewhat respectful and kind characters, just bound by their circumstances.

    Because people be too emotional when they comment now. Can't expect any mature thought process in bl comment sections on here.

    He’s not horrible, he’s just an ass at times for no good reason. Even his thoughts are nicer than what he chooses to say to MC. Like you think he’ll act nice/respectful towards MC cause he’s thinking like a normal person, only for him to act the opposite. (Like that time he fcked the mc in the bathroom).

    just because he's better than that horse we shouldn't point out his wrongdoings?

    Gurl.....ur going to the wrong point.
    The point made was regarding how "ATLEAST" the seme here is better than jaeshit.
    Some of the readers are acting as if this particular SEME is the worst (like as if they haven't read other more toxic seme than this).
    And so comparing Jaeshit and this seme.
    Atleast this Seme is better and has some few limits

    it’s kind of funny how you’re getting mad just because people are calling out the seme for being trash. like, sorry we’re not giving him a free pass just because he’s ‘not as bad’ as jaekyung? that’s such a weird standard. LOL. 'he’s less garbage than the worst one we’ve seen, so let’s all be nice!’ naaah. wrong is still wrong, no matter the comparison. also, maybe focus less on defending toxic behavior and more on fixing your grammar :)) it’s giving ‘missed the point and the sentence structure ;)))

    I wonder whose ACTUALLY MAD here(?) ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
    Did I mentioned any offensive words? I just replied because some of y'all still don't get the point and still now too.
    And more funnier: trying to tell a random stranger who you don't even knw to "fix your grammar".
    Gurl don't be mad just because you found my comment offensive, I can get that you need more "fixing" of your "understanding and comprehensive skill" rather than my grammer mistakes(?) but I bet you're so high-fi that even a mistake are not understandable for you.
    Sorry to know that.
    It's not even that deep but continue~

    After seeing and experiencing stuff in real life. I think this guy is a lot better than most.

    That was never my point... you guys are acting like he is the worst POS in this type of story. When there are so many similar stories/plotlines with way worse MLs. Not saying you shouldn't complain but the complaints are so exaggerated. This story has NUANCE. He isn't completely a "green flag" bc he gets something out of this contractual relationship too and he is not us, the reader, which is why he does not entirely understand what is happening.

    Thank you for understanding my point. I realized I prob should not have dragged Jaekyung into this comment as ppl just laser focus on that point.

    to begin with, why are you so pressed about people complaining about the ml? just because he’s 'better' than others doesn’t mean people aren’t allowed to call out his flaws. y’all setting the bar way too low if ‘not being the worst’ is enough to defend his actions. let people critique fiction without acting like it’s a personal attack.

    MF literally asked why the ML is getting so much backlash then say this was never your point? 'there are so much worse than him so we shouldn't call him out for his wrongdoings' ahh

    I never acted like I was pressed. It really seems more like you're pressed bc I defended the ML. When did I say you guys cannot complain about him? I also defended him bc of his character's positive attributes that I listed. If you want to debate, at least bring up some specific points about him being an asshole. Again, never said he didn't act like an asshole. He has some asshole moments.
