WARNING: terribly written manhwa

im sorry this pissed me off so bad. woojung is a terrible character and it’s because he’s badly written. he takes in jiho out of the supposed kindness of his heart, is super patient w him, gives him space, picks up on the subtle hints that he went thru severe abuse/trauma, blah blah blah the point is, for the first 20 chapters the author is VERY CLEARLY illustrating the sort of altruistic character woojung is. that’s why it doesn’t make sense that he’d suddenly accept jihos advances. the age part is hilariously stupid (seriously? you act all moral that hes a minor and then the second he turns 18 you have no second thoughts? give me a break), but worse than that is the fact he totally has some sort of idea of what jiho went through, ie using his body/sex in a transactional manner AS A MINOR, yet somehow he doesn’t put two and two together that jiho making advances on him is a side effect of that? is he that much of a predatory dumbass or just badly written? by the way this is going, im inclined to think the latter. btw i don’t care about age gap i don’t think it’s taboo but rather can be very interesting, its just the way this is written is not consistent which is what pisses me off. if your story is solely about two characters and one of them is this badly written, it’s hard to take your writing seriously. the worst part is im going to keep reading to see if this shit could possibly be redeemed. either way this was a huge waste of time. projection mogs

    idk bro u say huge waste of time, yet u you still picked it up (idk if you finished it or not) and also come back to hate on another reader 5 days later (??? On ur mind much?) — anyways, badly written or not, it’s all subjective, you can have ur opinion but man ur so hateful, just leave fr if you think it’s so terrible, no need to hate on the people that made it, go read smth else. Or maybe u finished it and realized that characters aren’t as simple as being nice or mean, they have other reasons that u find out as you keep reading — to have such a black and white view of the characters at the beginning of the story is your own fault as a reader.

    ‘you say huge waste of time yet you still picked it up’ um, yes. that’s how you form opinions, by reading and deciding for yourself what you think. obviously i didn’t know it would be ass when i initially decided to read it. what kind of stupid ass statement is that. maybe higher your standard for the bl you read, because everything i said has merits even if my delivery wasn’t sugarcoated for the sensitive 14 year olds on mangago
