how aint this bl??

I am not a fan of the 'getting back with the rapist of your previous life' trope, even tho the ml is not as terrible, I can't bring myself to approve of him. mc compares ml of both lives, realizes the current ml is different and more lovable, and be like "oh this guy isn't so bad...what? the whole shabang was just a misunderstanding? my feelings of fear and resentment is slipping away faster than an eel", which is downplaying the trauma and abuse of his first life as if they are just a tool to make it harder for mc to fall for ml, rather than it being a trauma for mc himself to overcome. is this guy too big-hearted or what? as if the fact that he's an ijin(?) and actually loves mc could wash away everything he has done. did mc love the ml more than his family or something? cuz no matter how different he is, i think it's near impossible to forgive, much less fall in love with such a psychopathic murderer, especially if he's the one to ruin my family. even if he's not, can you even forget the trauma? not that i have a thing against big-hearted people, but placing them in this kind of concept is frustrating. after all that shit he's done, why the hell do you think he doesn't deserve death?! you don't want to avenge your family?! if you are not feeling such anguish, then it could be assumed you're feeling apathetic....but, you don't. yes, mc does feel hatred but after spending a few days, weeks with ml, the heavy damage inflicted upon the mind dissipates into nothing and you can kiss him and feel affection for him, which is absurd. he's being way too softhearted towards the wrong person. unlike him, the mc of Thousand Autumns is moving, he is frustrating sometimes tho not for the same reasons.

it's really good, but...why make the boobs so big tho?

lack of worldbuilding or history relevant to the hunting of witches or info on paladins and the church...lack of explanation for romance...lack of explanation for isekai/backstory (i think it'll be revealed as the plot progress)...lack of good buildup/foreshadowing that led to the appearance of X(the witch)...for now, the characters aren't very interesting...they're good to look at tho. as for the plot, idk...we don't the mc's goals, past, or given any piece of history, only the estrangement between the church and the witches which lacks an explanation...
