This is manipulation. Whether or not anyone here wants to accept it, that falls under emotional or mental abuse. Not up for a debate, that's fact. We know from the story that "namers" are inevitably drawn to/attracted to each other. So it was bound to happen that they "fall" for each other. And by withholding the information from MC, he's making it out to be something more genuine than it is. Not to mention the lie in general. Relationships (romantic or otherwise) built on lies are realistically doomed to fail. The trust would be gone. Don't even get me started on how entitled ML was when trying to find out if MC was his namer match. The ML has the upper hand here and he knows it and sees nothing wrong. Shit makes me sick. I even enjoy a lot of manga&webtoons that feature dark themes but something about this one is not right. Like it's being treated too lightly idk. It's unlikely but it would be a welcome surprise if MC gets with someone else ultimately. ML has no redeeming qualities at present.
