No worries, he does regret and actually comes pretty close to your prediction of suffering. It may be tedious (I was the same and just finished it today) but it’s worth it if you have the time for it haha
Could you tell me which chapter that happens in? I don't think I can read through all the abuse she goes through again
I’m not sure how much you’ve read, so here’s the chapters with context:
Ch 43 - Violet finally reveals the bodyswap secret and leaves his ass
Ch 48 - depressed ML wants to die, ends up swapping bodies instead.
Ch 67 - ML starts planning to off himself and to free Violet from her suffering. I do suggest continuing from here since it’s the cooling off arc where ML prepares a will for Violet and she reflects on her feelings for him.
Ch 82 - ML proceeds with the plan. Also recommended to continue from here.
Ch 134-136, ML faces a reality if Violet actually succeeded in killing herself. There’s more of an impact if you read the happier chapters before this.
If you want more suffering, he does share the experience of having a child, ch 148-153 for the end (and takes on the pain of childbirth muahahahaha!)
But I do recommend the forgiveness arcs and learning to understand each other. Or if that’s not for you, then at least Violet’s revenge arc against the people who wronged her. It was pretty satisfying imo
Ch 105 for love language
Must see ch 115 for one of if not Violet’s best moment haha
Ch 112-113 and 128-130 Violet’s mom learns about her neglect and suffering
It’s all good from here, aside from ML’s developed anxiety, but I hope this helps!
Thank you so much omg, generous benefactor you have my eternal gratitude
I remember reading this a long time ago and I kept reading it bc I was looking for the part where he realized the extent of his mistakes but each chapter just filled me with rage and made me wish that he'd relive his life over and over again in a cycle of endless suffering until he realized that actually she's the one who's been suffering all this time, so um...can anyone tell me if he gets character development that makes it worth picking this up again?
