While I agree that the MC needs reassurance and emotional support, I'm not sure he'd accept the support from ML at this point in time. He doesn't even try to accept support from his secretary! And the secretary has been with him longer and has been trying to help him! I think if the ML tried to drown the MC in support, then the MC would get freaked out. He's already a little freaked out with how the ML seems to know what's going to happen and with all the gifts the ML is giving him. I think the ML is doing what he thinks is best and the MC is just going to slowly warm up to him...or remember everything that happened and hopefully confront the ML.
But that is just my take! I'm enjoying this so far! And if this isn't your cup of tea, then that is fine! :) happy reading!
Aaahh, those are all valid points. Thinking more about the varies outcomes if he were to be more "pushy" and what you said, the pacing and method the ML is using does make 100% more sense.
I was rushing the story too much and not thinking of how that would realistically play out (￣▽￣;). Thank you for pointing this out actually!!
i agree with you. it’s ml’s second chance, he should redeem himself but instead he’s still fucking it up…. like mc keeps pointing out how ml is always a step ahead and instead of reassuring him ml brushes it off as a mere coincidence (which is you know… kind of gaslighting mc). i actually feel sorry for mc since doesn’t have a clue.
I really like mc. He IS interesting, I mean, with a boring backstory, but his personality is smth, I would like to explore. On the other hand... Anything beside him, his bodyguard, and secretary.. it's not a new genre, it just follows just written rules. I am curious abt his past, if not for the caption, u wouldn't even think of past lives. Its already 32 chapters, yet it doesn't follow this path. Just some memories, without any contests. And a cherry on the top - ML is ducking boring. He's such a asshole, he is manipulative and scary for his "beloved". Doesn't tell him anything, just some uneasy words. And again, he does not take no for an answer. Mc does not need any materialistic things. He needs support, warm and someone he could trust. Right now he is alone, but in somehow better conditions. If ml would really want to reedem himself, there's tons of other things he could do, tell, show. He's just going for easy solutions, only suitable for him. He's such a creep, he knows everything, EVERYTHING abt his "lover", yet he still is "mysterious and cool", which is, wow, just a manipulation and illusion. I hate him, such a bitch
Ah my poor mc, u deserve everything on this world, every flower and every scent, there is a wonderful family suited for u, not this fucker ༎‿༎
This may contain spoiler:
Ok the reason why the ML is walking on eggshell and subtlety manipulating the MC is because he knows by heart what the MC really wanted but choose not to do for himself. In the 1st TL the ML r@ped the MC after his brother r@ped him. He imprint on him forcefully. The rule in this omegaverse is that imprinted partners both share memories and emotions. So by that time the ML finally realized that everything the scheme that MC’s family haf pulled were not true and that the MC was truly the victim in this. ML tried being good to him in TL-1 but the MC was too depressed after he has been r@ped back to back by both brothers. The MC later found out that he was pregnant and didn’t know if the father was his husband or his husband’s brother. The pregnancy drove the MC to gun himself which the ML witnessed.
The ML is not really shitty as the story progress. He will slowly lead the MC to
Learn how to stand up on his own till the MC no longer needs him. The ML is very much willing to let the MC go if the MC decided to leave him that is why he keeps repeating that the MC is not lock up. Well MC will remember what happened in TL-1 but he is already too in love for the ML that he came back and married him.
jesus christ that is too messed up… idk how i feel about it going forward
Ahhh perhaps, still I don't know what to think abt ML. My poor baby MC, he deserves everything... And ml better give him this. Well then I will continue, coz the story seems fucked up and tbh, I like it XD
Thank U for explanation
I'm just mad at everyone at his point. My baby has been abused on, beaten up, and used by everyone that played a massive part in his life.
ML is a manipulative fuck. All of this is not enough to make up for all the ways he wronged MC but I can give him a pass if it's to satisfy and protect MC in this lifetime
Yes, you can give him a pass. The MC is quife stubborn even in this TL. He always thinks that he doesn’t deserve to make his own decisions because he doesn’t want to he abandoned. Specially now that he has fallen for the ML. Even when the ML is already leading him towards his dream of becoming a perfumer the MC still refuses it but slowly MC little by little accepts the things thaf the ML is giving to him. Oh the ML will take revenge on his behalf towards his family. The ML’s brother will have it bad this TL too.
I mean I get MC's baggage, he's someone who's never made a decision for his own because of how controlling his shitty family be about his life. He's spineless that's for sure but it's all bc he's been treated as nothing but a puppet. So of course for the he would hesitate, for the first time in his life he's being released from his strings.
So True! That’s why I love it when the ML keeps on repeating to the MC that he is not locked up. That he is free. The reason why the ML didn’t marry the MC in this TL is because he wanted the MC to have the freedom to choose his own freedom when things are settled or when he regains his memories of his past life. Unlike in the 1st TL where they are married.
The ML intension is not to own the MC but to set him free and make him independent, that’s why I got a little touch when the ML in the succeeding chapters tells the MC to pick his side no matter how bad he is. The MC got confused because the ML has only shown him nothing but kindness.
Ow spoiler! The thing that ML wanted from the MC is his happiness and freedom. Remember the letter with the flowers when they first met. That’s what he wanted from him, even when he’s not in the picture when it happens but of course they still end up together. The MC is already too in love with the ML so yuuuhhhh
Judging by all the flashbacks and the hints that the ML was an abusive and rapist spouse in their past life (Ig that's the term), it really irks me how he's still so vague and some what manipulative when he's speaking to the MC. It's obvious the ML knows the future and remembers his past, so I expected him to be basically worshipping the MC in some way, or at least making his life smoother since the ML knows the future already. Yes he buys him materialistic things, but the MC clearly needs emotional reassurance and the ML knows that yet does nothing about it. But overall, It's not a bad story so far, I was actually pretty invested.
It's a simple cliché genre of someone went back in time and their trying to change an outcome, but from the POV of the person who isn't the one who remembers. I simply do not like the ML's personality and knowing he most likely raped and abused the MC multiple times at some point, and their still going to end up together is a huge turn off for a story to me.
If none of that bothers you though, you most likely will enjoy the story (^^)d !!
(As far as chapter 32 at least because that's all that's out rn).
