thats what im saying like idek what i jus read

It makes me sad as well, he is so desperate to have a good relationship with his brother. There is a sadness to him.

He's super genuine too ╥﹏╥ Bro is trying his hardest and everyone is just abusing him...

agreed that it was an ass move in the first life and he personally admitted to the neglect himself, but tbf it's less "you're an esper so you're worthy now" but more "i understand your condition better now and sympathize that we both had the same struggles that came with zero guiding & you're not someone that needed to be quarantined"

he's still less than the ideal sibling, but the steps he's taking are in the right direction at least.

The problem lies in his persistent self-centeredness. While he does care for his brother, it's rooted in their shared struggles and identity, which largely echo his own. He then follows up by enlisting his brother in his scheme to stalk and harass his suspected ex, exploiting the brother's goodwill towards him for his gain. Only to then dedicate all of his time to harassing the female lead at her residence, overlooking his brother's presence entirely. Throughout this narrative so far, the ML's actions reveal a notable absence of genuine selflessness or empathy. Despite his sad backstory, he consistently places his own needs and well-being above others and exhibits little concern or effort regarding how his actions affect those around him. Simply citing personal reasons cannot erase the years of trauma and pain he inflicted on someone else (how he acted with the FL so far is a prime example of this).

Until he demonstrates authentic selflessness by making genuine efforts to prioritize others' comfort without any underlying motives, such as wanting to do things for the FL because he likes her vs just doing stuff to manipulate her back into the relationship, I will maintain a critical stance towards him.
