What’s up with the hate?

I find it crazy how theres so much hate on this chapter. Honestly the flashback chapters do such a great job and showing the effects childhood trauma has on adulthood. Jk undoubtably has ptsd, probably even complex ptsd because of how severe his childhood situation was. This man HAS NEVER experienced love before. The life he has created for himself including the jinx is a direct result of his understanding of reality based on his traumas. It’s kind of like the allegory of the cave, you don’t know how fucked up your situation is until someone actively shows you it’s fucked up. I know some people are saying that “all of this could be solved if he went to therapy” or “ is this really why it’s called jinx” but ppl with ptsd and other trauma related mental conditions are usually not the most self-aware. Especially if they don’t have the resources to tackle their problems, even more so if they don’t know what their problems are. Of course I’m not excusing Jks behavior at all, but those who are aware about trauma and abuse, know that it’s a cycle. If you were abused, you are much more likely to inflict abuse. It’s still wrong, but it’s easy to write someone off as good or bad without understanding their complete story. Which I believe these chapters give us. And I’m honestly really excited to see how the story progresses, because jk is gonna have a lot of trouble and confusion navigating such an intense emotion like love. Ik BLs usually follow the ‘sad backstory to why a character is fucked up’ trope but I’m hoping the author uses this narrative to fuel a Taejoo level redemption arc.

    but he HAS experienced love before. his coach's grandma. then she got killed off i did find it strange her death didn't have as much of an affect on jk and the plot as i thought it would??

    but yeah i'm looking forward to how exactly mingwa will redeem him. it's hard to imagine him being all lovey dovey with dan lmfao
