1/ All this drama around JC in fandom is just so ridiculous every time, reminds me of the first time I read MD novel without any particular impression yet (bits of adaptations watched before that moment hadn& #39;t influenced me much)

2/ of JC I& #39;ve got quite late into the story, when WWX reappeared after burial mounds. At first he supports modao (because whatever it is it is on our side; such stance looks oh so nice with present time JC& #39;s views on the matter) and then when LWJ tells WWX that modao
3/ harms body and soul JC just... ignores this piece of information https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ€" title="Gesicht mit Hand ĂŒber dem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Hand ĂŒber dem Mund">I cannot imagine such indifference towards an important person one cares about much. Yeah, it was WWX& #39;s own decision to harm himself because of the war and in the name of revenge for the clan that
4/ brought him up, but you can& #39;t not worry about someone you love, be it your brother or friend or whatever else, you will value this person& #39;s wellbeing over (or at least the same as) your mission success.
Anyway that is what shaped my first negative impression of

5/ him - his hypocrisy and indifference https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Leicht lĂ€chelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Leicht lĂ€chelndes Gesicht"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ”" title="Teetasse ohne Henkel" aria-label="Emoji: Teetasse ohne Henkel">Then he decided not to help Wen remnants after everything WQ and WN did for him (helped him to bury his parents properly by bringing back their bodies, no less; among other things), he refused those people looking right
6/ at them, and at those elders and children trying to plant something into cursed dead soil of burial mounds and then he abandoned there his "brother" and a person whose name helped him to restore his golden core.
I think it& #39;s often overlooked in fandom but actually

7/ WWX& #39;s explanation of the miracle of golden core restoration was that he has the unique right to ask Baoshan Sanren for help in a desperate situation because he& #39;s her disciple& #39;s son. And when WWX ran away with Wen remnants and was in a desperate situation his (imaginary)
8/ chance for help was already used up by JC, and JC was well aware of it (and he didn& #39;t care).
When JC was desperate WWX went above and beyond to find some hope to give him. When WWX was the same JC did nothing at all.
That was the second negative impression of

9/ him - he is ungrateful. And since when /not/ sugar coating such qualities in a character is forbidden and offensive by default? Yes, he has glimpses of better qualities too; sometimes the best part of him resurfaces on impulse. But most of the time he is free
10/ from such impulses because of three poisons of his.
I think sometimes people discussing novels forget that it& #39;s about literature and not about favorite pizza flavors or something. When I talk about a character in MD (all of them are very deep and three dimensional
