* AngstDissonance: One common criticism of the Big Brother Arc is that is a almost 15 chapters arc long focused on Sana that tries to paint him in a postive light after spending most of the {{Manhwa}} being a {{Jerkass}} ManipulativeBastard and the arc not acknowledging his jerkass aspects from previous arcs (particulary his manipulation of Hooni), as such some readers felt that [[spoiler:his comic getting cancelled]] was less of a TearJerker and more of a moment of [[CallItKarma him getting his desserts]].

** Harim in particular is acussed of this. In comparison to the most tragic backgrounds of other characters, most of her angst comes from a guy she has barely interacted with not wanting to interact with her, which is sympathetic but not nearly as tragic as her inner thoughts make it out to look like.

** Park-Taejoo, an ex-classmate of Harim that actually regretted the way he treated her and TookALevelInKindness off-screen because of it making him quite dynamic for a one-off character.

** Park-Taejoo, an ex-classmate of Harim that actually regretted the way he treated her and TookALevelInKindness off-screen because of it making him quite dynamic for a one-off character. Some fans even admitted to prefer him dating Harim instead of Hooni.



** Harim herself is often accused of this, she's a fairly interesting character herself being a boxer with a FaceOfAThug and a BullyHunter that had a lot of potential for a interesting character, but most of her screentime is dedicated [[SatelliteLoveInterest to have her gushing over how cute Hooni is]] rather that developing her own character.



* {{Wangst}}: A major criticism of Volumen 2.5 is that a not insignificant portion of the chapters are focused on Sana and Harim thinking about their personal issues through [[WallOfText Walls of Text]] to the point both characters can feel excessively melodramatic about their situation even if their reasons to feel sad are justified.

** Harim was an EnsembleDarkHorse but fall into this trope after the Boxing Arc particulary once [[spoiler: Hooni started to like her back]] in chapter 133. To a lot of readers she's a great presence in Hooni's life that helped him [[spoiler: against his bullies, interfered on his streamings to avert him from making things that make him unconfortable]] and find his crush on him adorable. Other readers took issue with her deciding [[spoiler: to change her entire life by trying to lose muscle to look less intimidating and then give up on her dream of Boxing]] for the sake of a guy she barely knows yet giving her attention and think her fixation is unhealthy and more creepy that the narrative presents it as. Other readers simply dislike her [[DieForOurShip for being a potential love interest for Hooni and not being Soorim or the Librarian]]

* MisaimedFandom: There's some fans, particulary those who aren't fond of the LighterAndSofter route the series took who wish Hooni would go back to his suicidal tendencies, either because they miss the early edginess of the story or because they found him more relatable back then. Needless to say, Hooni's suicidal tendencies were never portayed as a good thing and the point of the series is him slowly leaving them behind.

** Sana is the biggest example. Readers either think he's an hilarious UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist that serves as an interesting look on the Webcomic world, are interesed in his relationship with Soorim and think his backstory makes him very sympatethic despite his more jerkass traits. Other readers find him an unlikable brat and an insufferable AuthorAvatar whose storylines are mere metacommentary that are too on the nose and out of place in the comic. Another major point of contention with the character is the fact that his arcs would commonly have Hooni getting OutOfFocus or DemotedToExtra leading to accusations of being a SpotlightStealingSquad, There are also those readers who do like him but agree he appears too much.

* CommonKnowledge: The already controversial Boxing Arc is sometimes asumed to be the series's GrandFinale. Park Gee has clarified multiple times that's not the case, as the series is right now in SeriesHiatus but a Volumen 3 is planned.

** Considering all the extreme measures Harim takes to impress and then protect Hooni in the Boxing Arc, it could have being a perfect oportunity to give him some realization on how we can't keep depending on the people around him constantly saving him and that he needs to learn to take care of himself, something that has being lampshaded by Jaehoon multiple times. But he never finds out about what Harim did and pretty much dissapears of the arc halfway through it. [[spoiler: He does come to the conclusion he needs to learn to take care of himself before dating Harim but entirely off-screen]]

** [[spoiler: Soorim's FriendlessBackground and previous status as a BullyMagnet making him quite similar to how Hooni is in the actuality is reserved to give Harim two brief YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre moments. Considering such a piece of information gives us a whole new perspective between the relationship with two of our protagonists (Hooni and Soorim) is rather odd this is reserved to be shown only how it connects with a rather secondary character like Harim]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The [[spoiler:Genderbender]] arc. It lasted merely 2 chapters and has Hooni interacting only with Soorim for the usual dosis of HoYay / ShipTease and then the situation is resolved as suddenly as it happened. One can't help but feel it would have being interesting to have more characters react to [[spoiler:the female Hooni]].

* BizarroEpisode:
** The Hoonirella arc. Basically a WhatIf WholePlotReference with Hooni as Cinderella, Soorim as the Prince and Jaehoon as the Fairy Godmother. [[spoiler: Then it suddenly becomes a fight between Jaehoon and Sana as another Fairy Godmother over who can make their job better which [[GoneHorriblyWrong accidentaly leads to Hooni being confused with a witch and almost executed.]] ]]
** Chapter 100 and 101 had [[spoiler:Hooni becoming a woman for a day and then reverting back without explanation]] and unlike other chapters with more fantastic elements this arc is not handwaved as a WhatIf
