Yes thank you for your explanation I totally aggree with you.
I only slightly disagree with this.
We know that he's never been a good person, but that still doesn't exempt him from judgement of the readers. The things he does at times are wrong and readers are entitled to saying that, that's usually why the author includes stuff like this and has cliffhangers. It does cross a line when the readers attack the author for it, or compare Seungho to other semes in manhwa
Seriously ..... Like people seriously believed that seungho gonna confess directly like that..... People need to understand his character that he is not our typical romantic seme.... So he needs time to sort out his thinking and feelings for namkhyun ...
I think some readers have to understand the fact that Seungho is by no means a perfect, moral character nor does he pretend to be one. He is a twisted, antagonistic anti-hero that conforms to the 'All nobles are right and commoners are slaves' system at the time. He's slowly sinking into the pit of denial then probably despair, because he's slowly in love with Nakyum, a commoner which means he will be no less than a fallen laughingstock bringing shame to his name, and the endless obstacles ahead. Such a character like him is destined to not have a happy end unless Nakyum recipocrates, with Seungho's understanding that to have this happy ending, he has to abandon everything to be with Nakyum.
So I don't get the disappointment from people. Are you expecting him to be a good seme? If I want that, I'll just read other works. There's a good trail of character development here, and just because Seungho doesn't fit your stereotypical seme mold doesn't mean he deserves the insults to his character. He doesn't pretend to be good, he never WAS good, and he'll continue to sink deeper as he loves, and that's precisely where the tension of the series is, because the more he loves, the higher the stakes, the more he WILL lash out because of this unless he comes to terms with it: he is in love with a COMMONER. Such a warped character like this, if you have problems with him, then maybe this story isn't really for you.
