@Sleeping log thanks for saying that. i totally agree about how we sympathise with haesoo and that's the main reason why we stick around.
just to clarify, i’m not saying real men walk around constantly trying to beat each other in contests. i was talking about how fiction often portrays male characters as if their only purpose is to make the ML look better—richer, taller, stronger, more desirable etc. a rly classic example is the trope of a group of losers sεxually harrassing the FL and the much more physically imposing and handsome ML beating them up or intimidating them into backing down. that actually happened in an earlier chapter here lol
i totally get that it’s not a reflection of real friendships or how guys actually bond!! i've seen many male friendships be chill and supportive. that's why i'm questioning the writing here, bc it flattens other male characters into props or rivals instead of real people. i just think men and women deserve better character writing than this.
