You have a point in everything you said. But when deciding to pick a story up as this one with the whole plot surrounding “weight loss,” you have to come with an expectation for such things. I’m not saying it’s right but it’s bound to keep happening with the way people are so closed minded. Specially since this is a manwha, since from what I’ve seen is that people in asia tend to exaggerate weight. Commenting this to the actual author on a legal website in which they gain from and post would be more proactive.
Ngl the author is kinda giving fatphobic, as a gymrat and ex overweight when you workout you quickly learn that you shouldn't restrain yourself on treadmills even if the noise sounds alarming because those things can support a ginormous amount of weight, also the noise is proof that the effort is really efforting. There's also the way they drew the steps embedded into the treadmill, it reminded me of the way elephant or mammoth steps are imprinted on the earth, let's make a cute manhwa without the need to attack people's physical appearance for your "plot".
