: I think part of the reason why a lot of ppl still can't stand ML is his lack of expression and Negative Memory Bias. like I get that he's supposed to be subtle or his emotions subdued, but girl the only times we rly get to see him experience strong emotion are when he's angry (specifically the betrayal when he found out MC is a prophet).
This one moment (in addition to how unexpected his reaction was) persists more strongly in our minds than all the sweet moments collectively. Where chasing arcs usually consist of loud exclamations of love or vulnerable moments meant to encourage empathy, ML in this story was (quite literally) just chasing mc after banishing him. So not only did it feel like a sucker punch, but ML's bizarre logic behind his actions proceeding the banishment felt like salt in the wound
Maybe it's the art direction, maybe it's the writing. But for sure, the chasing, while decent/resolved on paper, feels somewhat lacking or underwhelming in the grand scheme of the story

: I suggest you all read the novel, being a manhwa making it so rushed because they cut alot to fit better in manhwa. Reading the novel make the experience and understanding better. In manhwa their expression and feeling can't be express properly
