I shove my 5 cents at the speed of light, because I really couldn't handle how it starts and didn't bother to continue. YES, I read only few chapters, but found that it was ENOUGH for me. I may be wrong being too radical about this novel in particular, but I have a grievance with this author and their odd beginnings. By that I mean how strangely they start their novels and later have hard time to wrap it into some logical way, but in my opinion they fail miserably. With this novel the first several chapters and the summary basically sum up the whole premise of this novel. We have 1 guy, our MC, who lost his memory, and we have another guy, future ML, who used the situation with amnesia to his advantage and lied to MC they were in love. Are you sane? Don't tell me you found it romantic and not entirely creepy? Not to mention it's like cheating s*x and feelings in desperate hope that MC will actually notice his feelings. Notice me, senpai~.You know what's unnerving when you start it? The fact that MC who has no effing clue about his past lives with a person who lied to him about their relationship. I see ML as this creepy existence that couldn't get what he wanted when MC was his original self, but now he simply seized the opportunity. He didn't think how MC would feel after he finds out, I see it as being really selfish. Honestly, if such story happened in real life I bet you anything a group of people would run after ML beating him for being a scum, he'd drown in your spit. But of course it won't happen in the novel, no-no-no, MC will feel sad, ML will run after wife in the crematorium and author will make it all flowers and sunshine in the end anyway. Because they always rule things out in convenience.I'm sorry, but sometimes the whole "but it's just a novel" argument makes me itchy to hit someone in some of the novels.I wish this author would deal with their problematic beginning problem, it's not funny in many of their novels, it just creates unnecessary trouble that is later resolved in a weird way. The only more or less normal beginning was in tool man, two guys just hooked up, though later the author's humor and never-ending ending spoiled the whole thing, but it's a different story. Some beginning they portray can be simply disgusting tbh. That's why I can complain endlessly about their style starting the novel.
