The MC is actively racist against Korean people, and even says REPEATEDLY a slur to refer to them, describing the entirety of the Korean population as ungrateful thieves....????

One of the so called second MLs in this story is MC's straight up attempted gang r*pist, who then is allowed to walk freely out of jail by paying some compensation to MC and then just continues to exist as a character in the story. Never do his actions really get addressed as what they were beyond the moment of the attempt, and from then on it was just referred to vaguely as "bullying MC" and the character in question even complained that he got punished without even getting to eat meat. Considering the trivializing tone that the novel's narration takes to the incident, and that not A SINGLE time does a single character talk about what happened and just refers to it vaguely as "the incident", despite there being literal recordings of the guy's threats and actions to r*pe the MC, it really does feel like the author seems to think that it's not that big a deal since it didn't actually happen. I'm not necessarily against approaching r*pe in stories as long as it's handled properly, but this was NOT the case here and since author couldn't deliver well, they should've never touched the subject to begin with.

Finally, and what really broke the camel's back for me, was the SCUMMY ML's parents. ML's parents are even described directly by the ML himself as "parents who loved him conditionally". Through his entire life, they cared for him not because they loved him, but because they wanted him to have an heir. When he got hurt, they only cared about his health so that he could be fine to have a wife and give birth to a son. And yes, it is a son only. They are not only incredibly toxic and manipulative people, they're also s*upidLY sexist. The ML's dad at one point has an inner dialogue where he wants MC to give birth to twins, two males for double insurance. But he says he could even "be humble and accept one girl and one boy". As if accepting a granddaughter was this terrible sacrifice he was willing to put up with for the sake of having a grandson, which obviously is the only one they care about. Now, you'd think with how I am describing these people, they'd be villains and obstacles to the overall story, right? But no! They're just side characters, POSITIVELY aligned ones. As in, they are never portrayed as the malignant tumor they truly are. Not only that, but unlike the VERY fake novel description, the truth was that MC wanted to abort the child and ended up getting guilt tripped and bought into having it because of these two's psychological warfare, all the while the mother waxes HORRIBLY manipulative and guilt trippy things about how MC was killing her poor grandson and how he was so cruel and he should feel ashamed of himself for killing ML's son with his own hands. It was sincerely one of the most disgusting scenes I've had the displeasure to read through, but it was somehow framed as meant to be half comedic. I wanted to puke, honestly.

It also has some really sad beauty standards that it flaunts such as "wearing vibrant colors is bad and ugly" and "darker skin bad" as per usual.

When the ML was scolding his d*ck for being unsatisfied 😂

After he failed to r*pe MC, which was somehow just swept under the rug and not mentioned again, he becomes obsessed with the MC. And we get to have the pleasure of reading on how he licks the door handle that MC has touched and peeks at MC in the restroom.
