Hmm

So I tried to analyze what exactly it is about this manhwa that makes me want to rip my hair out of my head so much, and I realized it's because the ML/seme gets absolutely NO FLAK for being a piece of trash.

He talks like a piece of trash, he acts like a piece of trash, and he treats Noah/Yejun terribly. And what does he get in return? Yejun doesn't even give him a hard time, he just goes with whatever the seme wants, and his sister even pulls the "he had a rough childhood" narrative our of her ass just to make Yejun and us readers sympathize with him. As if that's any excuse to be a prick with the emotional intelligence of a celery.

When you write a character with the most vile personality you could think of, and you make everyone in the story tolerate him and he doesn't get any punishment/suffering for it, what do you think is the message you're giving off to the readers? That assholes will be assholes and there's nothing we can do about it? There's a reason why they're like that, so they don't need for them to change? How odd.

Just noticed only korean manhwa authors seem to write stories like this. Let a chinese manhwa author handle this story and the ML/seme will be suffering and chasing for 100+ chapters.
