This is such a frustrating story because I don't want the MC to suffer. He's such a small little dumb boy, he should be protected.
He's like a stupid little dog that was dropped on its head when it was a puppy so it tries to eat plastic and chews electrical wires. It's not his fault that he ruins absolutely everything that he touches, it's not his fault that he's destructive and takes no responsibility for his actions. He can't help it! He's just so small and dumb!
I'm being hyperbolic but I'm not far off. All he had to do was not commit corporate espionage and he'd be okay. All he had to do was not betray his husband and none of this would have happened. And even though he made the deliberate decision to be a filthy filthy degenerate thief he could have still made the situation better by being honest about it!
Of course, he still doesn't deserve to be mistreated. He deserves to go to prison and I don't understand why he's so shocked that he's about to go to prison. He might not have committed fraud but corporate espionage is still a crime you go to person for.
Boohoo, this poor psychopath had it rough. His crummy abusive dad died and never got to be proud of him. That's why he treats everyone like garbage we should all feel sorry for him.
Boohoo Jaekyung. We get it. At this point y'all are milking this hate to the point where it seems fake. We get it. Now stop.
It's not even about the character. It's about this trope. Every time there's a trashy top we have to sit through these overdramatic flashbacks to their crummy childhoods like that somehow justifies their abuse.
People that go through trauma don't get a free pass to treat everyone around them like garbage. People with mental illness or neurodivergence don't get a free pass to treat everyone around them like garbage. No one gets a free pass to treat the people around them like garbage.
Having a rough childhood doesn't justify anything and it's really lame when people try to make it out like it does. I hate the trope. I want this top to be trashy just because he's trash. Let him just be a garbage man.
It's okay to have a character who's just trash, unjustified trash, and have them go through character growth so they stop being trash. You don't have to try to justify and excuse the trashiness. Just do character growth and make them stop being trashy... But that's not what happens in yaoi manhwa, lol. We have to learn to accept the trash instead of having real character growth.
I feel like one of the most well-known characteristics of demons is that they are extremely untrustworthy liars. I don't know why the MC is acting surprised by this.
This is how you do people meeting children and falling in love with them. You make them both children! A slightly older child is fine but not significantly older. Both young children with a reasonable age gap.
It's sad that I find this refreshing.
I get the feeling the MC struggles to find gainful employment because he's a bit stupid and has no self-control.
xD you're not wrong
My parents were garbage people so I struggle with these plot lines. If someone killed my parents I would be more weirded out that they were a murderer then that they killed my parents specifically, lol.
I'm sitting here going "I don't know, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal." And I realize that's not how I'm supposed to feel about this parent murder stuff lol.
"I stole from him, I scammed him, I cheated on him, I betrayed him, and just generally treated him terribly because I was irrational. Now I'm so sad he doesn't trust me!"
The author is working very hard to make us feel sorry for the MC but has made the MC completely irrational. I know that the ML is acting like a psychopath and a rapist, he's not sympathetic either. But I don't understand why I should feel sorry for the MC when he's a filthy thief.
He didn't have to run off with the wikileaks. He could have kept the terms of his contract and none of this would have happened. He wouldn't have had to sleep with that other man. He wouldn't have had to be on the run. His intentional and willful actions are why all of this is happening to him. He knew this was going to happen when he chose to be a thief and he did it anyways. Now he's wallowing himself pity. It's just not likeable.
The description for this manhwa is complete word salad. Is this worth reading considering whoever translated that description has never read English or spoken English before?
I'm being serious, I'm not trying to be mean. I just don't want to start reading something that has a bad translation.
I don't mind that the art changed a bit but I do hate how the proportions of the MC change constantly. The artist cannot decide if he is manly or twinkish so they just switch depending on what he's doing. Sometimes he's the same height and the same size as the ML, other times he's significantly smaller and shorter.
It just depends on how much intimacy the scene has, the more intimacy the smaller the MC gets.
It's really annoying. Changing your art is fine, we all change over time, but changing your characters from panel to panel is ridiculous.
That's the processo of semefication of the uke and to twinkfy the seme
