ch 26. extra half star cuz of the art. man the art. they're good with sexual tension. the premise's execution is ok, i like how it explores the mc's loneliness due to the erasure of his existence in the world. mc's past is pitiful, and his characterization makes sense. their past relationship unexpectedly has more depth than i anticipated, but their current one is just the typical obsessive teasing guy x tough rebellious but softhearted guy (ie think the second couple in 19 days). on the other hand, the ml's mom felt rather comically abusive so i didn't really care for him. dynamic-wise, i like it, but the author's other work was better. both mcs are fierce, hard exterior/soft interior types of guys, but i liked the other dude better. bc despite being such a good fighter with an unbreakable will against bullying, he does not have an equal power dynamic with the ml. it's like he's running around on the palm of his hands. it may look like he has autonomy, since he talks back to him and resist him as much as he can, but everything is progressing in the ml's favor. their relationship was more interesting when they were young. and I'm still hoping for a scene in which the mc will kick the ml, not even a normal kick, but one that'll make him faint... like he did to mc like did we forget about that?? frankly i want the romance to take the backseat cuz i wanna learn more about the original body's owner
