@M.Monroe I've noticed that some readers think in terms of black and white, with no in-between. That's such a basic way of thinking. Just because we read something doesn't mean we justify or agree with everything! Readers such as ourselves know that there's so much more to Jinx than just surface level situations. I love the psychological elements as well as the realistic portrayals of human existence which Mingwa shows as contrasts (e.g. wealth/poverty, winning/losing, kindness/cruelty, young/old, life/death, etc.). I think rereading helps readers to better understand the nuances of the story, including complex characters like Jaekyung.
