The ml be giving me the ick. But I'm still reading bc I like how refreshing the family interactions are. And tbh, the villain girl is interesting and I like this competing trope thing going on between the isekai with your phone and reincarnation isekai. I'm w you in feeling strong indifference lol
Also FL (in first life), i thought *was* communicative, no? ML just ignored her I thought
If I'm not reading it wrong, yeah she was trying hard. She is in love and had a crush on him so she tried really hard to support and stuff, as a proper wife guide and everything. On her side I don't see anything she did wrong(, it's tech mostly ML fault their rs is like that very bad). But spoilers (and based on it I read), the ML had to pretend he hated or or were indifferent because of all the people after him (in Korea life), and yeah he hated FL at first but gradually fell in love. And she also became his weakness so, the classic fake hating the love of our life(in public AND private) to throw off the people after him but also give the love of your life major issues and depression because of this bs.
I get the pretending to hate thing but I never got the trope in general
Bc like why can't you just tell your love your plan to pretend? It obvy wouldn't have affected her actions in a way that would tip off the villains given she still was obsessed with him and still sacrificed herself in the end lolol
I also thought about that why do they always do a plan without their partners knowledge. Then I remember a quote, "To decieve your enemies you have to decieve your allies first." Or something.
BUT still this shouldn't be applicable in your relationship partner or at least not for that long like their entire married life.
BUT I can't also blame ML sooo much, I still hate him but I can't do anything about it if he experienced that and he is mentally unstable in return.
┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
imma be read this with indifference until it gets more to the climax and nearer to the ending cause honestly, fk the ML but also poor ML. Poor FL in the beginning and honestly, the only issue I'm seeing here from the FL first life(?) in Korea is freaking communication.
Saintess being a selfish bicht also made ML like that. ML pov is him thinking he is protecting MC the best he can, and idt he realised how controlling he was to her but all in his head is that he is protecting her. No excuses cause FL is hurt but hngggg.
This situation is like, if they did communicate better in first life, they'll probs end up being lovey Dovey even if they try to hide it, seeing how obsessed they are with each other. And with how ML was being experimented on by the govt(I think??) and the fake saintess also being there and his mind going haywire with everything, ML thinking his way of protection is the best to protect MC cause she is his weakness.
But still, poor FL .
Also, noting on the obsession part. Do take remember that the world building for this guideverse where the 'Bonding' is important. So even if it gives us modern world ick, it is a possible norm or an understable reaction/feeling in this world setting. So like, if U feel uncomfy just exit it, no need to deep dive hate this for its world building.
Also, hope CP will be in a better position in the future and get away from the fake saintess bicht
Ngl I put off reading this cause I've been seeing edits and I didn't like the gist of the premise I was getting and the ML gave me ick, but I decided to read for fun cause I have nth to read and then read the spoilers and now I think I might follow this, with indifference cause idk how to feel ngl.
