I mean we’re not necessarily supposed to like Junghyeok, and he’s more of anti-hero in reality. But the dude’s regressed a lot, like died and brought back to start over—this being his third time, imagine playing a game where u kept dying and restarting. U see the same ppl after every restart, u began to see them more as game characters rather than actual ppl. And imagine u watched someone close to u die, but when u “restart” they’re alive again. It’s gonna fuck w ur head for sure. I feel u tho.

Yeah, I think almost all novel readers went through this. I remember several instances where I almost dropped the novel because Yoo Joonghyuk irked me so much. I read the reviews back then too and others actually dropped it because of similar reasons and those who had caught on to the latest updates were trying to defend him (the novel still wasn't finished that time) and I sucked it up and stayed and now I have a huge spot for him in my favorites list. He mellows out eventually even though he's still a bastard.
At this point I say "bastard" but it's said with fondness. He had a good character development.

I'm gonna keep reading, but like, according to the MC this is only his third return (?) or 8th? I got confused. But that's besides the point. I'm annoyed with the returner attitude of fuck ppl who died, bc my personal reaction is to try and save people no matter what, which yeah, hoity-toity but goddamn it bugs me when ppl are so fucking selfish.
Like mkay, you have a rough backstory, aight. But he's just kinda a trash person in general. MC is way better. I know everyone loves seeing a cool headed and calculating hero but like, they kinda are just trash in human decency when it comes down to it. Bet hero gonna try and just get in the way of everything and kill anyone he wants for ever and ever in this story. AUGH I'm pissed off.
