ETERNALLY REGRESSING KNIGHT MENTIONED

I agree with you, the way he act is a bit much. While it's great to take good care of your sibling, the mc should not live his life only revolving around his brother's.
I hope Siha will love his brother when he grew up for all the mc's sacrifice for him.

My husband did so much for his younger sister. Treating her kids like his own, buying them birthday, Christmas presents....She even got a house from him! She never lifted a finger to do anything for him. Now she plan to sell the house, he asked her if she would give him half of the payment he paid for that house from more than 40 yours ago. She said no. This bitterness I felt can never leave my heart.

Wdym by giving up?? He's been doing well until now. And what do you expect him to do? Give siha to an orphanage?

Just because something like that happened to you/around you, doesn’t mean it will be the same for other people. Not everyone is the same as your sister in law

It's his way of finding meaning to live. His younger brother gives him a sense of purpose in life while he is grieving the loss of both parents before he can truly put his foot down as an adult in society. You're projecting.

he isn’t giving up anything tho. he’s continuously showered with incredible opportunities, and surrounded by people who care about him. the entire story is about his dead parents making it SIGNIFICANTLY easier to care for siha, not that working hard automatically means losing something anyway! he literally isn’t giving up anything, that’s the point.

you're reaching, he's practically swimming with motivation and opportunities all because of his brother, his brother is his only driving force atm that's why he isn't falling apart, he also still has friends like Mundo and the neighbor guy who helps him out sometimes with Siha, he hasn't given up on anything at all, his motivation to work hard for Siha became his strength, besides he and Siha are literally getting help from their late parents, so Sihyuk isn't too overworked, they both literally got cheats so their life isn't on super hard mode

Remember that he's had this mentality since he was a child due to his parents (excluding sihas mom) neglect, fortunately his father stepped up and made efforts to be better, but these events happen at a critical time in Sihyuk's development causing him to be more mature and adult like. This means it is not easy for him to put his trust in or rely on others and the comments of his family members at the funeral cemented this mentality further especially since he has Sihas to care for. He is used to hardship and passing up the things he wants in consideration of the bigger picture but he also recognizes that it is not the right way to live hence his efforts in making sure Sihas has a much brighter and broader experience, all in all, change is possible but it isn't easy, he's taking steps such as staying at university, relying on his friends and interacting with his classmates and neighbors, these serve to bring him out of his comfort zone and as time passes he would realize that the world has become much brighter and broader for him as much as it has for Siha.

Granted he is being helped by the gifts his parents left behind but as I have said change is not easy and this is a slice of life story meant to be slow and gradual, there is no constant pressure of death or conflict resulting in immense physical and mental harm as seen in action novels hence the catalyst for change would be Siha's growth that feedback to him causing him to reflect on his life and actions or incidents with other characters, rather than revenge or deep seated hatred.
