Comment by Can't_help_being_an_otaku on Terminally-Ill Genius Dark Knight - Chapter 140

@Can't_help_being_an_otaku Those bl manhwas u read also have complex characters that behave similarly to her, but most of the bottom male characters are always bitc**** and making everything about themselves, crying over nothing when it shouldn't be them crying while she does that much less. You're only annoyed at her cuz she's not a guy so you can't make a gay ship for her and Nox and I'm saying this as someone who also read a lot of bls. Just try to understand where her behavior comes from instead of ignoring her problems and being mad over understandable behavior.

@Can't_help_being_an_otaku we are all Main characters in our own lifes  

@Can't_help_being_an_otaku your confusion confuses me.

@Zythris_   what are you talking about ?!! if I want a gay couple, i'll read a BL ?!!! it seems like you're kinda lost... this manwha is not a BL bro, we're not supposed to have a gay couple ??

@Twenty-Fifth Baam being the MC of your own life does not mean you have to leech on other people... 

if you can't live your life without the approval or the attention of others, then there is a big problem with you...

eleanor had a good start, trying to gain power by herself and becoming independent, but as soon as it involves Nox, she's becoming clingy to a point where i feel like she just can't be herself or assert herself without Nox's opinion or pov...

that's why i feel desappointed...

@Lord Weeblee and your confusion on my own confusion confuses me... read my next comments

@Can't_help_being_an_otaku   You didn't understand me. I'll repeat, if it was a male character behaving like that then you wouldn't have a problem but since it's a girl, you have a problem. In bl, if a character behaves like she does, you wouldn't say anything like that cuz it's mlm. But since she's a potential love interest for Nox, it's wlm and suddenly it's annoying how she behaves And it doesn't have to be a bl to ship characters lol You're the one who's lost here since you didn't understand my previous comment.

@Zythris_ lol

Why do you keep making me repeat myself, seriously...

You're making a lot of assumptions about what I think, and that's the main problem with your argument.

1) You're not in my head.
You can't just decide that the only reason I'm annoyed is because Eleanor is a girl. You don't know me and you don't know what I would think if the situation was different. That's just speculation.

2) You're comparing two different narrative dynamics.
BL and hetero romance aren't always written the same way, and there are reasons for that. A lot of BL stories became popular partly because people were tired of seeing female characters constantly written as weak, dependent, or existing only as love interests in some hetero romances. So comparing the two genres like they're identical situations doesn't really work.

@Zythris_
3) My issue is the behavior, not the gender.
If a male character had the exact same mindset as Eleanor (constantly making everything about the MC, needing his approval for everything, and interpreting every action as being about them) I would find that just as annoying. I simply don't like characters who revolve their entire identity around another person.

As I already said, Eleanor actually had a strong start when she was trying to gain power and become independent. That's why it's disappointing to me to see her become so dependent whenever Nox is involved.

So no, it's not about BL, shipping, or her being a girl. It's about how the character is written.  

@Can't_help_being_an_otaku seeing how much of your time you have already wasted writing all of that, i can honestly say TLDR.
