Just my theory
Ok so, in the past, ml neglected mc most of the time. The ml and the mc had no emotional attachments at first, but started to develop feelings with each other over time.
At first, I thought the ml was a big asshole in the past that also sexually abused mc but turns out, this recent chapter revealed that the piss of shit older brother was the one raping mc in the past. The trauma is so bad, mc is literally having nightmares from his previous life
Well at least that cleared up some confusions that the ml is not the person who's raping MC in his nightmares HOPEFULLY that is the case
Here's why I think ml is not the culprit:
Cuz if it was the ml who was raping mc in the past, then mc should've atleast felt some sense a familiar aversion during their intercourse. The mc only felt familiarity but he did not feel repulsed of ml's touch.
The recent chap rlly showed that the real rapist in MC's nightmares is the older brother. Due to his fight or flight system was activated and mc is very repulsed or scared when the older brother appeared. Not only that, the older brother referred to him as, "ido's plaything" it really shows how much he objectifies mc and has a rapist mindset
