Was that first backstory meant to make us despise the ml?? I genuinely don’t understand what they were trying to make us feel, maybe just that things were complicated? Yeah I felt so much more than just complicated? Maybe this isn’t for me because the ml feels like a pice of rubbish polluting the earth at the moment
Yeah an update like five minutes after, just read the first half of chapter 23 and wow he’s like a different person now, for sure more mellow, seems more empathetic for sure. I do wonder why he was worried about mc cause I really feel like he could not have been in love right? Tbh with his superiority complex in high school I’d assume he’d be concerned the start but certainly not years later, imo he seemed like he saw their relationship as a quick fling, but maybe we’ll see his perspective soon
Also I am a bit jealous about his grades. I too didn’t have to study much to get high As but I wasn’t at the level of getting top in my year group without studying… maybe he studied more than he let on? Maybe photographic memory, though I’m leaning towards he actually studied hard, kudos to him for being able to balance social life and studies so well
Damn will it be a popularity contest every round?? What’s even the point of it being a cooking competition, sure the cooking still matters for something, but I get why everyone is calling this more of an entertainment show now
What the, why is he so sweet now, changing his tastes to remind him of mc, liking holding hands and kissing and just being so much more considerate and gentle and warm, man, people really do change a lot in 10 years so ig I can accept it
He’s taking things slower and he’s actually savouring their relationship, I hate his high school self but he’s matured a lot since then, though now I wonder if mc even deserves him since mc says he loves him but I feel like mc is never the one to reach out first, he’s the passive party, I hope he improves that aspect of himself and I think him seeking ml out for a coffee is a good improvement, though I’m not a fan of it possibly being like this just because ml is the producer (I wish that hidden context wasn’t there)
I wish the kid wouldn’t fall for the mc, I’d like it more if it was like mentor/ friendship/ admiration, he’s cute but not ml material at all, and I don’t want him to be heartbroken but mc is not into him (which I’d be a bit concerned if mc was into him so it’s good)
I’ve only read till chapter 23 (end of first flashback) and honestly all I’ve felt till now is seething rage against the ml, if I was transmigrated in this story and knew I’d come back in a few days and preferably also have supernatural powers, it would be off with the ml and that ex’s heads. I understand mc thought a bit narcissisticly and all when he first transferred but he never actually did anything rude except refuse being touched (which is valid) so although he thought those things he didn’t hurt anyone or anything so I completely understand where he’s coming from. But ml, oh ml how flipping dare he get angry when mc made a friend when he hangs out with his friends constantly. How dare he say it’s different because mc didn’t used to have friends while he did. How dare he smile when mc cried after bombing the final (because of their silent treatment). How dare he always blame the mc for being troublesome and that he shouldn’t always go along with his shenanigans when he is doing nothing. Like “I can’t just keep enabling your tendencies”, wtf how about he reflect on himself instead. What did mc even do?? How dare he never apologise first. Honestly ml in high school 100% had a superiority complex, there was no love, he just enjoyed the hoops mc was going through while being with him. HE WAS A FLIPPING PSYCHO. Man he makes my blood boil. I get the mc falling in love easily, I’m similar, and I loved every time mc wants to end him in his head I just wish he did. And what, when they meet again he’s like “what more can you do for me”. Even when he was angry at the mc ghosting him, was it not clear enough that with the mc having to move, hide away from others, deactivate his social media, break contact with everyone he knows, was that not enough of an indicator to him that this was probably because something serious was going on. I HATE how ml is still successful after the way he acted before.
Guys please tell me if he changes or becomes better, I cannot look at him without cursing him out in my head.
Why does the mc have to keep attracting these psychos. I very much sympathise with the mc since he didn’t necessarily enable anything and that time he talked back against his ex (right before the ex fell down the stairs) I was so proud, because despite being one of the parties involved in the situation he was able to see the situation for what it really was like an third party perspective. There tends to be a lot of justification when you’re directly involved so I was impressed by how clearly he saw the situation. And I can’t believe he sacrificed 10 years of his life for that psycho, such injustice. He was in such a difficult situation with the cutting and I have no idea how I would have gone about the situation but he handled it pretty empathetically throughout then asserted his boundaries at the end and it was very impressive.
Yeah guys please share whether you think he gets character development, am I looking too deep into things, do you think my opinions of him will change?
