Agree. And.. actually, it's not even about hatred. Jinx is just so overhyped and it's kinda annoying, to be honest.
Bw, you have good examples, but I would specify the other way around and point out some also very well-known + mostly beloved(!) manhwas, where we have seen plenty of other "charming" råpists and still sorta forgiven them?
Low Tide in Twilight, Roses and Champagne, Painter of the Night, The Ghost's Nocturne, The Blade and Flower
+ Beware the Ides of March, etc, etc.
And we (mostly) don't hate these stories or these violent fụckers in them, do we? It doesn't even occur to us that these stories are toxic, huh?
In other words,
IF some ml is a råpist, or a whọre, or just another aṣṣhole, it doesn't automatically mean that the story as such is not worthy of attention or why not admiration.
Bc look, these dåmn råpists are basically in every other bl manhwa (and we will not analyze here why this is so), but if the story is perfectly narrated/ developed, the characters are unique/ colorful/ realistic, the clichés are minimal, and hopefully the manhwa also has good visuals, then the reading experience of sucha story is also could be 5 stars, doesn't it?
And exactly vice versa.
Or to sum it up: some yobbo Jaekyung in some flat storyboard does not change anything as a whole. We can hate him or not, the quality of the manhwa itself will be the same. With råpe or without, (almost) doesn't matter.
So I'm saying once again:
Cråp is a cråp.
Even if it's well-drawn.
