Actually I feel like it kinda does, it’s honestly quiet real, cause like humans aren’t simple but complex beings we act based on our environment. So we never stop changing if we find something we don’t like about ourselves or others don’t like about us we change it but when we reach the age or find the space where others opinions won’t matter to us anymore you’d be surprised about how different a person can be

you're so right i fucking hate when authors try to make characters multifaceted and explore how victims of abuse aren't always perfect. it's so annoying when mentally ill characters ACTUALLY act mentally ill. especially when they're children who are immature and still developing mentally.

like your readers are not smart enough to comprehend the concept of a character acting like a flawed human being. or extend basic empathy.

hey im all for letting characters be vulnerable or flawed or whatnot. Its just that the execution here is not the best and some parts doesnt make sense if you really think about it. Just ended up making jinhyeong a dumbass on how he makes decisions. Also, newsflash being mentally ill doesnt excuse you for being an human bum hole. People with mental illness have the capacity to actually think too yknow, like think about their actions before doing so, weigh their options n shit. These past few chapters, theres no deep thinking involved whenever jinhyeong makes a decision, which just makes me go huh?

Ikr. Thats just so low of him. Also, in front of everyone ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

fr, hes the type of person i hate the most. Someone whos always drowning in self pity with no empathy and/ sympathy to anyone around him. Not once did he ever consider what the other person might feel. its always me me me me, got me rolling my eyes

Dude he was just a teen going trough stuff too. He was just searching for a place to belong too, because he never had one. Dude was just focused on revenge and we know hes impulsive

Jinhyeong was smart, but not emotionally smart there is a difference. Also can you notice how much he was hurt at first? He literally just did the same to songrik. Jinhyeong also was crying in the class alone when he noticed he actually developed social anxiety. And please anyone would seek his father approval; it’s not that he only wants his father to approve his existence; he wants to feel loved. You can’t imagine living without paternal love it hurts too much. Jinhyeong wasn’t a bad kid; songrik wasn’t a bad kid also. They both were hurt teenagers who were seeking love and acceptance. It really does hurt how this story went.

He had that though with songrik, but he wanted to push it by thinking his fathers going to accept songrik. Mind you its the same father that he knows absolutely hates even loathes people like songrik and he didnt even realize it cuz hes in his little greedy fantasy of dumbassy

He made excuses for his father at that time, because of the crumbs of affection the father gave him, it clouds peoples judgement on a person. Expecially when everything he wanted was to get his fathers approval

Mind you, he's still a child. They both are, and that "greedy little fantasy" was not just his. It was a shared fantasy that they built together as a means to escape both of their fucked up lives. Not everyone handles pain the same way and because of their shit parents they weren't taught any other way to handle it. It's just fucked up circumstances melting into their daily lives. Also his father raised him to crave his praise and acceptance. It would be extremely surprising if he decided to just ignore those feelings and run away with song rik, it's just not in the character of people who have been psychologically abused. Humans are inherently weak creatures who are usually not gonna choose the best option in a conflict especially not when they are so damaged, and this applies to both of them.

I don’t think yall understand how much abuse and manipulation can impact someone it’s much easier said than done

the greedy little fantasy im talking about is the one where hes fantasizing about ditching their original plan and thinking that songrik would be accepted by his father who HE KNOWS is close minded as hell and loathes, and i mean loathes people like songrik. Not an ounce of thinking and common sense happening there mate

You really talk like people mentality is always solid. Please he is just a child. Who wouldn’t seek his father approval at this young age? It’s not a straightforward equation. Like 1+1 doesn’t have to be 2. There’s a lot of other factors in this equation. Have some mercy on this young child.
