Does anybody else get annoyed when there’s a story where Mc transmigrated as someone who treated the original ml horribly, and they decide to befriend them instead? Like, not in a “im sorry I did that,” way. Instead, it’s the “OMG! Hey ml! Do you want to do these things and hang out with me today? Here’s some good food! We’re totally best friends now!” type of way. They just pretend like they don’t remember the original owner of the body was like whipping the ml a day prior or something. It always gets on my nerves. Like, yes, they didn’t do it themselves, but the way they act always gets the ml on guard, and it almost feels like a form of love-bombing after abuse. It’s just so tone-deaf to see the mc just basically be stalking the ml to befriend them. Like, you couldn’t think of any other way to stop yourself from dying?

Like, I love it when stories show the person feeling apprehensive about approaching the ml, because they know what the original body had done. They understand that them suddenly going up and saying they should be friends is so fucked up and will obviously disturb the ml.

Idk, I don’t think I worded it well, but that trope just annoys the hell out of me…

And again, the ml falling in love ends up feeling like a trauma response from his aggressor suddenly love-bombing him imo.
