derrick has second ML syndrome written in big bold sharpie all over him........ i'm more scared he's gonna grow a taste for NTR the way this is going
I KNOW HE HAS THAT SECOND ML SYNDROME BUT ONE CAN ONLY HOPE
but deep down i know this is all being built for
derrick: second male lead, steps aside and continues to suffer for mc’s happiness
Lian: ends up actually falling in love with mc, turns his ways too late and gets left in the dust
Yuri: after tension has been building and the climax, runs to yuri and finally confesses their love
SO SADDDD I LOVE DERRICK TYPE OF MEN ILL TAKE YOU
no i get you, there needs to be a word for the specific pain of liking the second lead more... i got trauma from being shafted by heroine shikkaku back in the days
so real
or authors ruin the character of the 2nd male lead so that the readers are forced to hate them
like i stg if they make him randomly get jealous and mc like they did in mousetrap…
I will genuinely cry
i'd take him forever sitting in the cuck chair over that... honestly if the author just wants to maximize sexy times they should dig their heels in and do a harem ending. the cover art is promising me a foursome and i hope it delivers
I just hope Derrik is the endgame, he’s the ONLY one who treats the uke decently, actually really well. But I don’t know… I feel like he’s going to end up as the “second lead syndrome,” and that really kills my motivation to keep reading.
