Reading this I suddenly realised what was bothering me: remember those tiktoks trending lately about korean drama female leads, who are supposedly poor, but in the show they have the latest expensive brand clothes, electronics, accessories, etc, as product placement? Yeah, that's what this manhwa is reminding me of. MC is supposedly very poor, barely paying his debts, providing for his parents, and giving some extra money for them is a great tragedy, yet at the same time dude lives in a rather spacious apartment instead of cutting costs and living with his parents, he has all the utilities like a whole washing machine and the like, everything looks new and clean, he dresses in clothes that look brand new and not outdated, and his fridge is stocked up enough for him to eat really nice meals, and he just casually bought a bunch of clothes for his android, simply because he didn't like him in spandex. Like there was no anxiety about spending that money, until he had to pay extra for his parents, and even then he only lowkey mentioned it with the "I have to work a bit more overtime because of this,oh well"-type of attitude.
Like, the manhwa started with him drinking with his buddy until he was drunk that's expensive as fuck. I don't go out drinking when I'm broke. Not to mention, that dude has been on completely unnecessary medication for 3 years, just for convenience, when he could have just beaten his meat every night for free. Like, I know, it's for plot reasons, but still, it's gotta be expensive somehow all this, and him being very tight on money isn't compatible.
Not that I will stop reading, it's just lowkey funny and weird to me
