This manga clearly shows the reality of it. I don't know if I can use "broken family" to label Rintarou's family. To called this below poverty line family as broken, just insinuating that the only way a family is healthy is when they're wealthy. And that is kinda... pessimistic way to view this beautiful family.
Yes, the way Rintarou's father done things is a bit "not good", but view them as his being "abusive" is just wrong. He only knows how to be a fisherman, live day by day with uncertainty about money. Of course when Rintarou needs that much money, it burdens him as the only one breadwinner in that house.
There is many, many things we need to consider when we talk about poverty. And stamp the family that experience that and their choice around their reality as "bad" or "good" is erasing nuance around poverty
I think this manga capture a sliver of that reality beautifully, without dehumanize, vilify the choice they make.

Makes me sad and angry at the same time..
That the reason of his pathetic past life is because he reject some girl from powerful background is just.... Pathetic. But so real at the same time.
It's kinda mirroring our real world and that just makes me soooo angry, honestly.
With that small, unimportant reason, someone's life can be easily thrown away is just... Painful. But that is reality.
That reason makes me cheer Hyunsung more in his revenge, ngl..

What even the purpose of introducing that girl? Not only weak, she seemingly doesn't have any will to fighting and become a killer.

I think it’s just the beginning of her story of growth. It might take a bit since we’re at the part where it’s showing off how cool and op the mc is. She hasn’t done anything outright annoying yet(like get in mc’s way because she thinks she’s better or some shit like a ton of other girl characters that just bulldozes what mc wants to do) so I’m trying to give the benefit of the doubt.
But, if she starts blushing around the mc and expects him to save her every arc, that’s when I label her as annoying lol
Is WILD
But that shows that IRL idol can find those fict. And that's super creepy and uncomfortable if you think about it seriously.
With the amount of many kinds of kink (and unhealthy relationship) in those fict, I wonder what they'll think about being exploited, sexualized like that. I wonder what will happen to those IRL idol's mental health.
Well, to begin with Idol are view as 'product' (by the industry) and are mostly well aware of that. It's why this industry is borderline rotten and have many issue. And Fanfic from Fan isn't the most problematic one if you ask me. Not saying that it's all bad but Entertainment industry is far from be all rainbow and sunshine.
