I wouldn't discount where the story may be going. With his peculiar characteristics there is obviously something in his background that will pivot the story line. As to Dangerous Convenience I think it is well liked because there is nuance in how the characters are built. They are fully fleshed out with their own personalities and motivations. You end up understanding why they make the decisions they do, even if you don't agree with them. There are a lot of works out there that start off well enough but then they fail to fully realize their characters and you end up with rushed endings or with behavior that makes no sense with the progression of the story. Anyway, this is what your comment made me think about. Have a nice day!
Yes, I'm sure there will be a pivot I'm just not sure if it will be big enough to overcome the horror of this very well drawn scene. Author-nim did not hold back. But we'll see! I'll certainly be sticking around to read it. You have a nice day too.
Was always surprised by folx who thought Guwon had green flag potential. From the very start of the story when he clearly intended to let our guy die *until* he learned he was a teacher, it was clear something was off. The best one could hope for was that he'd be the type to burn the world down except for his love interest.
That being said, I did not expect to read him beat a person to death with a baseball bat while smiling. For trying to save his son's life. I don't know that any Frankenstein story line will work to rescue him from this sink, for me. The community's moral quandary is quite interesting, a great story set up, but the romance of it all...makes me queasy. #－.－) Certainly, for complexity and intrigue this is leagues above Dangerous Convenience Store, which I found to be quite typical and boring. Never understood its popularity.
