@Born for Dooshik An MC can be realistic and still be unlikable, hateable, or even trash. Just because a character is realistic doesnt mean people have to like them. Even in movies/art, rapists or criminals can be portrayed realistically, but that doesnt justify liking them simply for their realism. The same principle applies here. Being realistic doesnt automatically equate to being likable, which is why people are hating the MC and they are right to do so.
@H Are you okay? Why do you abuse people online just because their opinion doesnt match yours? If you didnt like what I said, you could have expressed it politely or simply ignored it. Do fictional characters really matter so much that you feel the need to abuse people online? I honestly don’t understand what you gain from this.
As for me supposedly wanting pathetic crybabies as MC or saints, I never said that. However, that doesn’t mean I have to like cunning, manipulative or obsessive MC's either. There are plenty of MC's who are neither cunning, manipulative, obsessive nor saints/crybabies. They can be simple, straightforward and have self respect. Try reading some good manhwas where neither the leads are toxic nor pathetic crybabies, maybe then you’ll understand what I mean.
Just because I don’t like a cunning, manipulative or obsessive main character doesn’t mean Im a fan of crybaby ones either.
And please be respectful toward people you dont know personally. And if you cant, then either ignore them or stay silent, its not that hard. There is no need to be unnecessarily rude. Anw have a good day.
@griffith If you are going to compare him to whiny, weak twinks, then the bar is set way too low. I neither prefer whiny, weak twinks nor cunning, manipulative and toxic characters like this MC.
There are also great MCs who are neither whiny nor weak, nor are they toxic or manipulative. They are strong in their own way and portrayed realistically.
@KJMLove hey dude you are one of the rare sensible people who r smart in this comment section. i saw sm of ur comments and I agree with u 100%. the OP's logic is so dense. from their POV u can derive they think that even if MC turns out to be a rapist, are we still supposed to like that MC? just because he's not a kind person. oh my days .🤦🏻♀️
