Gurl everyone know he’s dealing with heavy stuff including depression and addiction and the whole thing in the real word and fake world. But that doesn’t erase how his hyung treated him. Just because he’s in pain doesn’t mean he gets a free pass to lash out at the people who care. You can be hurting and still be held accountable for how you treat others i fear that basic common sense
You either havent haven’t been that low in the dumps where you purposefully do hurtful things to others to hurt and isolate yourself or you simply are incapable of sympathy and i fear that is more scary than lashing out at your brother/ stand in brother. What accountability he knows what he did. Literally just 31 chapters are out you make it seem like MC is just some careless ignorant fool. Istg yall have been reading way too many transmigration fics where the MCs have it all easy and flowery for too long now that we get something angsty and a real shot at something that has the potential to be different this is how you people behave
I’ve been in dark places too, and I do understand that people lash out when they’re hurting. Obviously we're human. I’m not saying the MC is heartless or beyond saving. I’m saying it’s possible to recognize his pain and still admit that what he said or did to someone who cared for him wasn’t okay. Accountability doesn’t mean villainizing him it just means acknowledging the impact of his actions, even if he regrets them.
Also, I’m not expecting a happy, flowery story. I like the angst and complexity. I actually want a raw and messy story. But that includes acknowledging his pain without ignoring how his actions affect others, not just brushing things off because 'he’s sad or he hurt'
Like i say before you start saying stuff like "You obv haven't been in a low dump" when u don't know me i know that people lash out when they’re hurting. But understanding where someone’s coming from doesn’t mean ignoring the impact of what they did.
For ex if your mom had a really traumatic life and ended up projecting all that pain onto you. You’d understand why she became that way, but that doesn’t mean you just forget how it affected you or how much it hurt. Same thing with the MC, his pain is real, but so is the pain he caused his hyung.
And I never said he was careless or evil. You make it sound like i wrote it that way. I’m saying he knows what he did, like you said but that doesn’t make the hurt go away, and it doesn’t mean people can’t feel conflicted about his actions. Wanting him to be held accountable isn’t the same as hating him.
It's not all because he's sad or hurt. He literally doesn't know these people. He won't get close to him because he feels like that would be wrong since it's not really him they want but the person he's replaced. He's also worried about his sister because, as far as he knows, she's all alone having to deal with the abusive situation at home. He also wants the actual child of the parents in this world be good and not worry them. Taking the bus for hours to come see him and not telling them makes them worry, and even though he can't act as their child to put them at ease, he wants their actual child to do it.
I think I get that... like I say he’s dealing with heavy stuff including depression and addiction and the whole thing in the real word and fake world including other stuff. My whole point has been that his trauma and reasoning are valid, but they don’t erase the hurt he caused.
You can absolutely appreciate his reasoning and still admit that the things he said or how he acted had consequences. I’m not expecting him to play happy family, it’s about recognizing that the people around him, like his hyung, cared in their own way, and he hurt them whether he meant to or not.
Understanding someone doesn’t mean you have to excuse the pain they cause, both can exist at the same time.
I used to think the way he handle his brother was bad too but now after reading a lot of horrible books.
We only look from one side of the story.
Not evry human are kind or bad. Some may be two faced or some are extremely kind while having a scary face.
We re judging too fast on things what we see.
My opinion.. I just dont like the little brother cause he was rude to ML while not knowing him personally. Also rude for entering someone's private home. My sister in law also enters my bedroom without care while Im sleeping naked.

Bro, people who keep trying to justify the MC’s actions just don’t get it . Like yeah, you can totally understand his situation and what he went through but that still doesn’t give him the right to say all that.
His hyung was genuinely worried and treated him well. You can empathize with what he’s been through and still admit that the way he acted wasn’t right, especially considering how kind they were to him
