Wait so are we just gonna brush off the fact that Jiheon did manipulate him into having se...

Yeah he did but never hurt him so? And he not obsessed with him to the point of forbidding him from making friends or things like that, he only does things that make him stay by his side.
And to be honest someone as naive as ml need someone like mc who crazy enough to do anything to keep ml save but gentle at the same time to always take care of him in his own way

Disagree. I'm thinking you are giving him too much leeway.

MC became the who he is today because of the ML not because of how he is as a person. This is what happens to a person who is manipulated from a young age (you can say grooming even). This is not what a protective person does he is just a possesive a**hole

are we reading the same manhwa? the same manhwa where the ml who “never hurt him” gave him drugs to CONVERT him into an omega without CONSENT, and lied saying they’re vitamins, which caused mc to hallucinate and hyperventilate? is that not hurt enough? does mc actually need to get hit by the damn truck?

Right?! I'm so dumfounded by some people's take lol

Well you guys reading this type of toxic manhwa but still judge mc? Just drop it bro
Mc is indeed manipulative but thats just who he is, but without him idk what will happen to ml.
Remember the kidnapping case? If mc not crazy enough to climb that wall as a child just to save him maybe ml will have more trauma back then.
Once again this mc is keeping ml save since child, he is crazy but care deeply with ml.
You guys are weird to judge this type of toxic manhwa

And about the drug maybe you guys need to re read the whole chapter
Mc didn't know that medicine have a bad side effects, he is also manipulate by the the professor.

Maybe you need to stop reading this type of manhwa then, if u cant find a good reason as why he do that to ml.
And you saying like mc did something to make ml have a psychological trauma or something, did he? No he's not.

I’m not reading this manhwa for the characters and I didn’t say anything about the manhwa either. If you allow (?) me I can say whatever is happening in the story. And ML’s manipulations doesn’t have to leave a trauma for it to be classified as a manipulation

Yes we will judge its not like we hurting nobody. And the writing is bad and it dosent make sense.

Drop it bro u guys are weird indeed

im sorry but in what world is it a rule to always accept the characters’ toxic behaviour just because it’s a toxic manhwa like if you’re telling me mc matches ml’s freak then yes good for them but clearly he’s negatively impacted. how is it weird to judge this toxic manhwa when it’s clearly valid to judge lmao.

telling us to drop it is not the mic drop moment u think it is. it’s our free will to want to read it for many reasons. to see how it ends, to see mc find out that he’s been taking drugs not vitamins, to see what happens to the professor etc. and personally for me i went into this since the beginning and didn’t expect the sudden toxic route but it’s my free will to continue reading to see what happens (the entire reason of reading if u forgot, not just to admire a toxic relationship) and also our free will to comment on our thoughts (the entire reason for a comment section btw)

and yes ml didnt know about the side effects. and? he still lied to force mc to convert again without consent. just because he didnt intend to doesnt mean he’s not at fault. bc guess what, mc wouldn’t be suffering from the side effects in the first place if ml didnt give him the drugs.

but ive learnt that a lot of people on mangago cant comprehend this no matter how much we explain so

and im not saying u cant like his character or interpret his behaviour and reasons bc that’s totally fine but calling people weird bc we…… don’t like this borderline psycho behaviour? is something else.

Damn wasn't expecting this whole debate, but I gotta agree with everyone else here. Someone can "enjoy" (using this loosely) a work without condoning everything that happens in it or the character's actions. Things are never so black and white. I think calling out toxicity isn't a problem and it's not even necessarily complaining, it's just making sure we call things as they are. The problem becomes when people see toxic behavior in fiction but can't identify it in the piece or in reality, that's when the threat of actual tangible harm comes into play. I mean, works of fiction are supposed to provoke discussions and reflection. In this case, most of the people on this thread are arguing that blondie is being really toxic because he is manipulating MC. Though he is assumably doing it "for the MC's own good," in the end the MC is a functioning adult (who WAS of sound mind) and has the right to make his own decisions whether they be good or bad. Many domestic abusers will try to justify their abusive actions by saying they're doing it for the victim's own good, so I think the fact that you use this as part of your argument actually reflects the inherent toxicity of blondie's actions. I think this is more of a productive discourse and then no one is name calling or whatever. You don't have to agree, but these are my two cents

Its weird because u guys still reading this.
There a ton of red to black flag character, like this one or others. And in the end they often changes to be a better person. If u didn't like their type of behavior then drop it. Cause it will full of it, are u always gonna keep yapping like this in comments section every chapter? Yeah weird indeed

yes we will yap bc free will and it’s not weird, bc what we’re saying is true. it’s called making discussions regarding the story.

Haha
