I'd say the issue isn't so much about what happened but more the fact that Eunhan lied to him with a straight face their entire relationship and never intended to tell him the truth. He was never scared of hurting Hangyul as much as he was scared of hurting himself. The two things mainly on my mind are 1) putting some distance between yourself and the person who hurt you this bad is genuinely a good decision, whether it's to calm down or cut off the relationship, and 2) when the entire foundation of your relationship has been a lie, moreover one that ruined your life even if you moved on... How are you supposed to trust anything coming out of that person's mouth?

In the past, Eunhan was just an asshole, but now he's also someone who genuinely can't be trusted. If this was real life, this is grounds to ghost (no joke intended) and never look back.

The whole reason ML got back into MCs life is because MC saw the string that was connecting them. It would’ve been different and I could agree that MCs reaction makes sense if ML came back into his life first. He didn’t. MC pursued ML first because he wanted to know how/why they were connected and he’s known from the beginning that he was hiding/lying to him about something. And if I’m remembering correctly he also suspected the reason his life was ruined had something to do with the thread and it being connected to the ML. Am I supposed to believe that just because he fell in love that all of those doubts and suspicions didn’t happen at the beginning of the story? This wasn’t some fly by night thought, he had suspicions the entire time all the way up until the stuff that happened in the warehouse(?).

That’s why I can’t get behind his reaction. It doesn’t make sense. Him doing a complete 180 and falling in love after basically nothing was already a lot but this on top of it just doesn’t make any sense. ML tossed MC aside like garbage 5(?) chapters ago and MC forgave him at the snap of a finger but this thing that he did when he was a child is what pushed him over the edge? Absolutely not.

Emotions don't really work like that. Even if Hangyul pursued first and even if he was suspicious at the start, there has been plenty of time for him to forget or repress that especially with everything that has been going on. "This probably is the person who ruined my life" also genuinely isn't the first thought that would enter my mind if I thought someone was lying to me. Being suspicious doesn't impact the the severity of the lie. Saying Hangyul should have known better sounds an awful lot like victim-blaming.
Also him falling in love was not basically nothing. Hangyul suffers from shitty life syndrome and Eunhan provided him relief from the torment of the spirits, which makes him feel like Hangyul's saviour - him falling in love is natural even with all of Eunhan's bullshit. When you're deeply traumatised like that, clinging onto any relief you can find is natural.

To be clear I don't think what Eunhan did as a child should follow him all his life. It wasn't his fault and he was manipulated into it. However, adult Eunhan is an entirely different story. To put it into perspective: Hangyul's suffering has spanned over the majority of his life. He lost his parents. He's been tormented by spirits and ended up in debt and lost all opportunity at a normal life. Words cannot understate how shitty that is. And to then find out the person he thought of as his saviour and lover kept it from him that he was the reason all of that happened to him? That's absolutely devastating. Eunhan and his uncle are the reason for all of this, even if Eunhan is not to blame. And to be perfectly real, no, Hangyul doesn't have all the details, and yes a large part of his anger is misdirected. But why exactly should he stay to hear Eunhan out about his lie? Eunhan has been manipulative with him before. And on top of that Eunhan keeps demonstrating that he cares more about himself than Hangyul. What's to say Hangyul can trust anything that comes out of his mouth? His reaction is fully understandable.
If this was a real life situation I wouldn't blame anyone for running for the hills, in fact that would be the safe thing to do unless your partner has given you a VERY solid reason for staying, and even then it would require copious amounts of therapy to work it all out. Yeah it would have been great if Hangyul knew what happened to Eunhan, but he doesn't because Eunhan never tried to tell him. All he knows is Eunhan was going to take it to his grave if this didn't happen. He has no reason to stick around and find out or potentially be manipulated more.


Again, the issue isn't with child Eunhan, it's with adult Eunhan. The uncle is to blame and the worst piece of trash, and he's the one who deserves the brunt of the anger. But Hangyul doesn't know that, and Eunhan being a victim himself does in no way justify him lying to and manipulating Hangyul and getting into a relationship with him without coming clean about what happened first. Even if it's understandable why he turned out that way.

And it's ok ╮(￣▽￣)╭

I do this when it feels like sex scenes fillers

Honestly, on this story, that’s totally valid. The plot is awesome.

I thought I was the only one weirded out
Like are those blood??

Certified weapon of mass destruction, bro got a baseball bat as a dick

Jiwon's lover, the original editor K "Kim Seonggyu" was k*lled by chairman Kang. Seonggyu's mother used him to replace her son as an editor K using his guilt over his lover's death. His view on rich guys become warped and he thinks Zeo is using Rawon for his own benefit too.

Yes I know the backstory but my opinion is still the same.

imo his bro hates elites to the bone so that might be the reason why he thinks its better to break them apart

in my honest opinion it's hardly a chasing arc since as you said, there's no real reason. their story is actually a slow burn type but slightly different from the usual kind of slow burn which is why i can't fault readers who say they don't see a chemistry between Zeo and Rawon. i just feel like ppl are way too impulsive when we hadn't really seen any actual progress besides them managing to bed each other. and then there's the matter with Rawon's brother. yeah he overstepped using Rawon's feelings like that and sure he partly did it out of brotherly concern but i just go with his actions as baby steps towards accepting his brother's eventual choice. not that i'm complaining but it doesn't really help that the updates are every 10 days since the story progress and character development takes twice as long

This.why every manhwa they want the top to chase?haha.and beside zeo’s reason not to follow rawon is to protect him too by the chairman…if he follow rawon then the chairman will gonna know where is rawon and maybe he will gonna use to blackmail jiwon(as editor k now) and zeo.and its more complicated.but then this commenters just focus on chasing arc not the plot…

Yep, it just feels kinda unfair to ML atp. If I was ML and knew the actual reason for MC's actions I would never want to be with him again. He would always make me anxious if someday his sibling would say something he'll up and leave again.

I’m annoyed by the brother as well. His issues are his own and it’s messed up to force his hyung to break up because of it. I know younger bro thinks he’s protecting his hyung, but he’s ultimately protecting himself and projecting his issues into his hyung. You don’t threaten the happiness of the people you love to “protect” them.

Yeah, I recently read one where the MC was a regressor so had only ever lived in one historical fantasy setting and she got a system. That's where I draw the line
Cause it's one thing for reincarnators who are familiar with digital interfaces to get a system, it's completely different for someone for whom a carriage is the pinnacle of travel
The system is intuitive when you have grown up with and are familiar with digital interfaces but it is utterly foreign and confusing if you haven't. Like old people don't struggle with modern technology because they're old, but because it is so fundamentally different from the technology they grew up with as to be alien. Yet you are seriously trying to tell me that somebody got whom books are the main source of information is going to intuitively know how to use a glorified gaming system???
There are better ways of giving characters access to information they shouldn't have which aren't grounded in a digital interfaces, such as psychometric abilities, abilities to see qi, having a patron god (although that is now so synonymous with constellations as to feel modern), having a spy network, literally any method that is grounded in the technology and mysticism of the world

Problem is these bl versions are not made well, as compared to "system" trope shounens like ORV or Solo Levelling or heck... even SSS Suicide Hunter etc etc.

The system can be implemented well, if it isn't used as a plot device every 2 seconds. If they stop destroying the pacing of the story. If they stop trying to shove to force shove the "its a bl remember? Remember??", every 2 seconds.
