I... I just can't. This MC. Why is he so stupid.
(SPOILERS) So not only does he never tell the seme that he just got raped and brutalized by the seme's psycho ex ... he doesn't even bother to discuss with the seme that this guy is CRAZY and dangerous and they should NOT be traveling with him. No, he just chooses to tremble and act useless. Yes, let's go with crazy ex on this remote trip, nothing could go wrong. THEN PROCEEDS TO JUST GO OFF ALONE WITH THE PSYCHO EX AGAIN. After already having been beaten and raped by him literally a day ago. He could've said no, the seme was right there to protect him. He goes there, is like, "Hur durrr I thought you wanted us to go alone into the woods together to gather stuff for camp". Like REALLY. Did you REALLY think that's why psycho ex wanted to lure you alone into the woods together? THIS ENDS WITH MC GETTING A HANDJOB FROM THE PSYCHO EX. And at no point does he actually try to stop it. Or run away. He's just moaning and going "oh nooo I don't want it but I'm c**ing" like some pron actress. WTF. I'm done with this dumb@ss MC.
Yeah, honestly, he wasn't so terrible until the whole... amnesia thing. I thought until then his reactions were fairly reasonable and normal. After that though, he lost all brain cells and I can't even begin to relate with any part of his thought process. Why is it so hard to find a story with a strong, smart uke when there's a yandere male lead TAT.
The seme's ex shows up later in the raws. He's the tall, tattooed redhead that dresses in skimpy robes. Not a whole lot is known about him, since they're still trying to keep the seme's history and background a mystery. He used to live with the seme, before the seme left one day. He's been searching for the seme ever since. He's really psycho.
The Chinese raws are here, they go up to chapter 20 so far: https://boylove.cc/home/book/index/id/11359
So the art is amazing (probably 99% the reason I'm continuing this), but God DAMN the MC is a pushover. I flipped a table when she just sat behind the tree while the disgusting black haired girl did the dirty with the ML. Like, I get that she has no intention of being with him, but MULTIPLE TIMES she put it openly on the table that she would grant their wish to elope. And they still chose to cuck her. The sheer NERVE, and she's just like, "oh no what do I do, I can't make a sound, guess I just have to stay here and listen to them bang the whole time". Like WAT. She's well known for being a psycho with tons of power. As soon as she transmigrated, everyone is just openly disrespecting and cucking her everywhere, and there are zero repercussions. I get that she doesn't want to follow the same villainous path, but there's being a villainess and being a DOORMAT. Ughhh I wish she would've at least stood up and been like, "you two can do that, but get out of my area of the palace, never want to see you two again."
There's actually a reason why she's doing this, she can't just act out of line because 1. If she were to mess things up the game could glitch and something bad will happen or 2. Everyone finds out who she is and the game just kinds of finds out their fictional and everyone is going through ~trauma~ because of it.
I can see why she wants to carefully change her fate without breaking the game, but I don't think she needed to continue to hide behind the tree while the two had smexytime. That's just weird and awkward. And honestly, I think that's way more OOC for her to do that than to be like, "wtf you guys doing, get outta here with that". Like I said, I'll continue reading this, but that moment went a bit beyond weird.
