If I were him and I were to transmigrate rn into the story, I'd fucking chose the 2nd ml and use the main ml. Like can you not fucking see how much of a catch the 2nd ml is, handsome, well built, respectful, transparent, rich, his age, likes him. He also agreed for mc to use him to pretend to be his bf, and when mc turned was in heat, he was anxious and careful with him, even after mc told him he likes someone else, he just left him alone and even shouldered the hotel bill.
Meanwhile the main ml is hard to figure out, he keeps giving mixed signals, low-key a groomer and clearly has hidden intentions (cuz I really don't believe the little brother excuse). He also always makes mc feel small and anxious, I wouldn't want to be with a person like that Nuh uh.
Like, just because he's the first one who's been kind to you doesn't mean you have to develop feelings for them even more so when they're giving you mixed signals.
Dawg it's an expression to want to change the story. I like transmigration stories and I happen to see this similar to some existing transmigration stories out there that can be changed based on the choice of the character. I'm just expressing my thoughts into a HYPOTHETICAL STATEMENT using transmigration. It's like saying "I want to punch you through the screen rn" which is clearly an imposible feat but an expressive statement.
Dude you're so right, they could've just said the positive points, but by listing all his external "features" they showed what personality they really are. You are right when you say that Fate just is superficial.
Now they even use another commenter who lists things that Fate never even thought about - because they clearly are the better points, but as superficial person, Fate couldn't even think about something like "honesty" but went straight for "MONEY!"
Does your eyes have a hole? Is that why you missed when I said "respectful and transparent"? Sure most of what I said was "external features" but ain't that something to CONSIDER as well when choosing a partner?
I said he's handsome, just like the main ml, I said he's well built, just like the main ml, I said he's respectful, just like what the characters said about the main ml, I said he's transparent as a comparison to the main ml, I said he's rich, not exactly like the main ml but enough to support them both if he did ever choose him, but of course not for the money ITSELF. I also said he's his age as a comparison to the main ml because they have a whole decade between them and the main ml clearly said he doesn't want him because of that. Lastly, I said 2nd ml likes him, this is arguable and useless at this point anyway because we know who the MC's gonna choose, I just made the first comment as to express my irritation about the situation.
Also if you ever say cuz I mentioned "he shouldered the hotel bill" was me thinking he was thoughtful, not like "oh, I didn't have to pay, lucky me." What I also said about "using the main ml"—let's go to what I said first again, about the transmigration, obviously like any other transmigration stories, I'll follow the plot first, and then when I meet the main ml, of course I'll do what the mc do with a little bit of boundaries to the touch because my goal in the STORY would be to be with the 2nd ml (keep in mind that this is just an explanation and don't really want to happen to myself because I know y'all will twist my words again). Now see what I did there? I used the main ml to get the 2nd ml, maybe I also "used" his "MoNEy" but are you really reading the story rn, the main ml is the persistent one, he's the one who likes to throw money, the mc is just accepting it because of his circumstances, yup that's also one factor of what I mentioned money. And all of this is a mindless rant anyway, about some bl that I happen to have a strong opinion about.
Now what I don't know is why would people like you judge my whole entirety like you've known me all my life. I'm superficial? Well you're rude, sipsip. Both of you are. If you have something to say about my comment then why would you attack me? How insolent. Superficial my ass, in the first place, I've wrote 3 whole paragraph consisting of my opinion, then I also replied to each of y'all statement with explanation, how is that lacking depth? Maybe your brain is the one lacking depth.
I was wondering why I can't reply to their comments, turns out the both of them blocked me LMFAOOOOO what a fucking loser. You start an argument then run with your tail between your legs? I wonder how can you live with such a petty mind? Does it feed your ego when you THINK you're better than someone? Well keep that up if you want to be lonely in life.
I don't know why anyone would think whatever you say about character has to be a whole analytical think piece about the work or the characters. Also, even if the 2nd ml is the shallow choice (which is definitely isn't lol) he could still use some of that in his life. He needs security. Poverty really is scarring. With someone that supportive by his side he would have a better chance of building his own life.
Little awkward but I'm not done yet, cuz I forgot to include this earlier:
Where in the world did I use the listed description of Something? I still stand on what I said and I just agreed on what she said, what am I supposed to do, oppose her when we're on the same side? When did I say "yeah, he's honest, supportive and dependable, that's why he should choose 2nd ml".
Also, Irmler, I've "never thought about the better points"?? when my first comment literally already states that I think 2nd ml is better than main ml what "better points" could I say when Something already did anyway, what's your point?
In addition, if we're talking "better points" then main ml wins when you said ""MONEY""
I'M A DOG FOR THIS TYPE OF PLOT AMD SETTINGS, GIVEE MOREEEEE
theres this one bl manhwa that has a similar plot with this one, but I forgot the title and I can't find it anywhere also, idk much stories that have the same plot, I wish there would be more too. Even so, if you want to read bls that have this kind of settings, I have a list on my profile, the "fav historical bl" you can check it out if you want ^^ don't mind the other list lol, it was ongoing but the missing reads happened...











Picked this up again after I left it to marinate and the black haired guy still PISSED me off but for some reason, maybe low-key forgetting what happened in the plot contributed but he looked pityfull to me. I know he deserved alladat but I still hope he'll find love meant for him and let go of the MC.
