I feel bad for MC, because he is genuinely such a sweet and kind guy. But Kotani is just an asshole 90% of the time for no reason. I think author is trying to make them banter, but it’s just painful to read because it’s not a banter if MC always feels like shit or hurt because of Kotani’s words. Author is trying to keep the ‘enemies to lovers’ essence, but it just doesn’t work here.
Furthermore, whenever Kotani hurts MC - they just fuck. No talking it out or sharing their feelings. Dude just fucks MC and doesn’t care if he is mad or not. Really romantic.
They are suppose to fated mates, but their outlook of life and personalities are just not compatible. Realistically, this couple just doesn’t work. Like the desire for marriage and kids are a pretty big deal when people start dating. If your partner wants kids and marriage, but you don’t - the relationship won’t work. And it’s just one of the things that don’t match for both of them.
On top of that, Kotani treats MC like a fuck buddy rather than a long term partner, which pisses me off. He is just taking MC’s love for granted, and I can’t wait for him to get his head straight later when second male lead (?) appears.
I really hope Kotani gets his shit together, because he does not deserve MC whatsoever.
