I have the same feeling and it's definitely because Sejin isn't asking any questions. We readers want to know what happened but because he's not asking Ido anything our questions won't be answered either.
All we can do is hope that once the questions are answered it won't be rushed through it by the author
Self pity and pushover - yeah because the mc fears of not having any identity or foundation to fall back on, being an abused omega orphan.
It makes total sense that ml is pushing mc to build confidence and authority because ML felt so bad for MC in their past life.
Authority or autonomy? Idk. Sorry. Lol
I mean i really loved the story in the beginning but it's been already 60+ chapters and it's still full of questionable shit. Also, idk if it's just me but MC is too deep in a self-pity hole he's being a pushover.
I have so many questions about Ido and all this shit going on but none were getting answered from all of this updates.
I guess I have to let this marinate more or I'll wait till it's finished before reading it again because I'm getting impatient that I'm losing interest.
