I am so tired of this trope. It’s always a situation where every single member of the mc’s family have neglected, ignored, and shown complete disinterest in them, but magically start caring after a sudden behavioral change caused by an isekai swap or time jump. It’s always the same formula. MC is neglected/abused/isolated from birth, inevitably resulting in behavioral/personality issues, which allows family, fiancée, and society to further judge and ostracize the mc, feeding into a loop of of poor behavior. Cue the isekai or resurrection moment. New (or post revelation) mc obviously changes their behavior to avoid death flag, recoup their reputation, and/or become independent. They have some clever insights they use to solidify their position or bargain for freedom, which inevitably catches the eye of their family/fiancée who all suddenly can’t bear the thought of living without mc. And then the excuses. They’re so sorry for the neglect, it was just that they were bad at communication, or misunderstood some bs, or we’re going through a lot, etc.. Just once, I would like the mc to actually make a clean break from everyone who failed them.
