After the Breakup, He Washed Away the Memories

I read this particular story because I was seeking a heart-wrenching tale of a man chasing his lost love, which would add to my current mood of depression. To be honest, I found the narrative quite satisfying. The main characters' development, especially the protagonist's strength and vulnerability, were portrayed beautifully. Despite his foolishness and past trauma, the MC exuded resilience. As for the ML, though he starts off as a despicable character, there are hints of his复杂 emotions, which become clearer when his backstory is revealed.

However, I strongly disliked how the secondary character, Rong Qin, was handled. In my opinion, he was more culpable than the ML. Without giving too much away, he played a significant role in pushing the ML to make certain decisions and consistently undermined their relationship. It's frustrating that he doesn't face any consequences for his actions, while the ML had to make amends.

Despite the ML's transformation and respect for the MC's career, which included a scene where Rong Qin reacts negatively to MC taking on a leadership role, I still struggle to empathize with him. I can understand why the MC forgave him quickly, given the emotional ties, but it's hard to swallow.

On a positive note, I was glad to see the second couple's downfall; they seemed to be a disaster waiting to happen. Overall, I enjoyed the story, although the reading experience was marred by technical issues on the translation platform. The navigation often led me to incorrect chapters, forcing me to constantly refer to the table of contents. Since it's a free translation, I suppose I shouldn't complain too much.

Phew, where should I even begin with this? As I delved into the story, my patience reached its limit. I was livid with the main male character (ML), so much so that I could've hurled my phone out the window in frustration. He's an absolute jerk, and his actions only exacerbated my anger. The protagonist's constant struggles only fueled my irritation. Initially, I had hoped for a satisfying tale of an amnesiac, but alas, this novel fails to deliver any satisfaction. Instead, each chapter just added to the mounting fury within me. Sigh.

I don't have any positive feelings towards the male lead at all. Honestly, I wished for the main character (MC) to end up with the charming alpha male, not this arrogant guy. The男主角's behavior is off-putting – he just needs to get over himself. I'm giving this three stars solely because I like the MC, despite their foolishness before losing their memory. I haven't finished the story yet, and since I don't want a different version by someone else, I'll wait for the complete translation. So far, the male lead hasn't shown any redeeming qualities, and his condescending attitude towards the MC's beta nature is really unpleasant.

The ratings seem off! I gave it five stars just to balance things out, though 😤. I often come across novels like this in the 'Chasing a Wife's Ashes' trope, and I'd say the possessive aspect in this one isn't as extreme as in '188 Series', 'Obsessive Shou Advances', or 'Pain Fetish'. It leans more towards a lighter tone.

The reviews before me might not have paid attention to the genre tags or aren't accustomed to this kind of storytelling. The main character, Qin Muye, can be viewed as a jerk, but compared to other MLs, his worst offense is perhaps indifference. His personality and beliefs resemble another ML from the 'Alpha Predator' series, Qu Moyu. He believes that an S-Class Alpha requires an S-Class Omega for pheromonal balance, which explains why he ignores our Beta protagonist, Rong Qiu, without crossing the line as Qu Moyu did.

Rong Qiu shares similarities with Shen Dai from 'Alpha Predator', but she's a Beta and far more assertive. The ABO world in this story treats Betas harshly, which is unusual, but the author seems to shape the narrative as they wish. In my opinion, Betas should occupy a neutral position due to their lack of pheromonal influence, making them the most functional in society. However, most ABO stories follow a pattern: if the MC is Omega, it's about Omega discrimination; if Beta, it's focused on Beta struggles.

The amnesia plot provided a satisfying arc, as Rong Qiu's initial submissive behavior tugged at my heartstrings. Her upbringing without love distorted her understanding of relationships, but witnessing her humility towards Qin Muye created a tug-of-war between empathy and frustration. The early chapters weren't unbearable, though – I've read worse.

If Rong Qiu had higher self-esteem, she might have challenged Qin Muye's aloofness earlier. But as the story progresses, she becomes a strong, independent, and intelligent character, surpassing Qin Muye in many ways. The side couple, an AB duo, initially seemed like a positive influence, but their relationship eventually took a dark turn, contrasting with the main couple's issues.

The endings for both couples felt fitting, resolving their conflicts realistically. As for the second male lead concern, fear not – there isn't one. Rong Qiu is self-sufficient, making it difficult to find a suitable replacement.

Lastly, a minor gripe: occasionally, the omniscient narrator revealed too much, taking away the surprise factor and dampening the storytelling experience.

Overall, I'd rate this story a solid 4.1 stars, considering its enjoyable nature.

A lovely story, well written, no parts of it feel rushed - like many other stories on this site. The relationships and character development are handled well. An easy read.
