Conflicted

I see why mc is upset though, it’s not my favorite trope when someone switches up on another so quickly like a flip of a switch. Hopefully mc calms down eventually and actually tries to see it from ML’s perspective. MC saying ML’s explanation for not being able to give out medicine- is “insane.” Isn’t smart? ML just told him several children died because they had given out medicine freely before, and mc disregarded that cause he was still stuck on what ML did.

As what ppl can see, ML clearly is not raised as a normal functioning human. He doesn’t know right from wrong and acts like a child mentally. I hope MC can realize that soon. And I get MC’s point that there obviously still needs to be morals, but playing the hero for everyone won’t work in a zombie apocalypse. I guess that’s the con of MC waking up knowing nothing and then being immediately taken into a shelter. He didn’t get to see how bad the world was yet, how humans can turn on each other, and how situations can quickly got to shit due to cause and effect of momentary decisions. Unfortunately it looks like mc may have to experience it the hard way that generous behavior won’t work for everything.

I also am surprised that nearly no one mentions how MC himself is suspicious as well. It’s like everyone completely forgot that time when ML woke MC up from his sleep and MC held a knife to his throat unconsciously. MC seems to have some sort of instinctive fighting skills but no one remembered it. I guess it’s cause it happened briefly, was brushed off, and wasn’t shown again?

Anyways this whole medicine situation reminds me of another manhwa where the mc used up all the medicine in a clinic and thought nothing of it, until near the ending- someone he cared about got fatally wounded and when he went to the clinic, there was no medicine left to use to save his loved one. Ultimately it was mc’s decision that directly affected their death. (Although the environment and reasoning for using that medicine is different for this story).

    I think it because everyone reads the story for Guwon. Most of the comments are always about Guwon

    Yeah, Guwon's argument about the medicine was literally 100% logical, and I feel like it's gonna come back to bite MC in the ass later. Someone else is gonna get sick and they're gonna be short on medicine, and then Guwon is gonna regress even further psychologically because "You said I was wrong, teach!" which will cause even more conflict between them...
