The Shape of Sympathy — Chapter 9

Whew, readers are *not* holding back after diving into The Shape of Sympathy [Official] - Chapter 9! 😠 The overwhelming sentiment? A collective groan and a whole lot of frustration directed squarely at Yuri. Folks are calling him everything from an "asshole" and "brat" to "childish," "spoiled," and a "sister-complex" sufferer. Many feel he's misdirecting his anger onto poor Mr. Lee, who has become the chapter's designated "suffering baby" and "pushover" that everyone wants to protect. 😭

While a few tried to contextualize Yuri's actions, citing his past or depression, the majority are simply fed up, wishing he'd "grow up" and show some respect to his teacher. On the flip side, Mr. Lee's depression and dejected state resonated deeply, making readers' hearts ache for him. 💔 Despite the intense negativity towards Yuri's behavior, the chapter’s "depressing but interesting" vibe and poetic translation were noted as strong points. Still, the burning question remains: how will Yuri ever become a likeable romantic lead after this display? 🤔
