Like the whole plot point against the girl could have been avoided IF SHE SIMPLY SAID HE LOST HIS MEMORY. It wouldn't be strange or a lie. THEN she could have left him to other people so she can focus on her own things. But alas, the story must be interesting. (It reminds me of a diff one with a purple haired villainess possessing the author)
I hope the ML is the red haired dude. He seems to be popping up randomly and would fit better than a Duke who may leave at any point. Especially since the og dude already liked someone and they had something going on.
Praying to the Lord we get a death to the villianess (I think that's the novel?) where the ML gets his own body in the og universe
I feel like just... explaining "Yeah, bro is super duper traumatized from the car crash. I think he forgot everything. Since we were friends back then/I was there I feel really bad and wanna help him readapt"
... like you just gonna let him look insane those first few days???
Maybe there's a cultural stigma I don't get cause I'm American or maybe it's plot convenience idk. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
