Hey it's me again sorry, so I don't think Minho is self centered I don't think he has any touch with himself tbh. I think he is bad at feelings like a real bad at feelings like the absolute worst. He is aware of that but also limit feelings to simple things like love and happiness. Like he knows he is living a miserable lonely life but also don't consider mystery and loneliness as feelings. He feels so much but he never process them and what hurts the most to me is that he's actually smart and self aware, blaming himself for what happened instead of chan.
Also about the witches/werewolves thing I see it as an oppressor/oppressed thing which is why I don't go for them even if Chan was an anti social bad wolf with angry issues so
And if I have a lot of thoughts and questions, can I say them here?
Very curious to know which chapter you've reached because some of the things about werewolves and witches and their relationship with each other are explained in detail further into the story (After ch. 8 or 11 if I recall correctly, it's been a hot minute since skimming that part of the story). Witches and wolves aren't as oppressor/oppressed as you might assume, it's more of an oppressed/oppressed position (a lot of the things that happened to witches also happened to wolves at the hands of humans, and their history has a lot of similarities in that sense - the way they evolved and moved past those things are very different. In a way, and put very simplified, werewolves are emotional creatures and have worked on the generational trauma they experienced, whereas witches decided not talking about it was the right way to go - so essentially, the wolves turned it into generational healing where witches stayed in the trauma, perpetuating the circle of their own misery).
Of course, in modern society, witches keep to themselves for the most part and live outside of human/werewolf society and don't mingle for the most part (lower-ranked witches do, but witches with a rank like Minho's keep away from everyone who isn't a witch of the same rank as them - it's a safety precaution). It's a bit complicated and we've panicked about it plenty of times not making sense or coming across poorly
Anyways, you're right. Minho is very bad with feelings and his reasonings behind a lot of things might not make sense in the beginning, but that's because he's working with flawed reasonings. I can't really give you too much of why he's like he is because I don't want to spoil the story for you when I don't know how far you've come in the fic🙇
And, yes, of course, you can ask here if you have questions.
