Maybe I'm missing something here but in terms of what MCs brother did wrong we have obsessive, creepy, attacked a mythical creature and imprisoned MC out of somewhat understandable abandonment fears. It then spiraled out of control and MC died due to unintended consequences.
Thats bad, but all in all, if someone went through multiple lifetimes reflecting on how those were bad choices, I could get over it. At no point was the brother evil, just wildly unable to express healthy affection. It feels strangely disproportionate given the ML at some point raped the MC.
Seeing the younger version of the two at the end was downright depressing. They’re brothers. He spent his lifetime atoning for what he did in the first life. And he seemed to be a good brother. I just think MC shouldn’t have been so quick to call each other strangers - maybe they reduce the time they spend together, but at least acknowledge that he’s a better person now in this life.
