I want to hit the main characters. I'm not going to lie. If they were real people, I'd want to yell at them right now. You can't say all their actions are completely brainless or unjustified. But it's so incredibly irritating how fixed their mindset is, especially the main character! In the first life he's a complete yandere for the main male lead. In the second life he'd rather die (literally) than get out of the mindset that the male lead cannot possibly be better off without him. Naturally, this makes for a good angsty novel. And much of his mindset makes sense after what happened to him in his first life. BUT WHY OH WHY MUST THEY TORTURE US SO MUCH? I've never been great with angst but I at least thought I could handle it (looks like no).
I just don't understand why the main character's personality is always at an extreme. Pre rebirth it's one extreme, post rebirth it's another. I just want to rage and complain that it's irrational and brainless. But after what he experienced, maybe it does completely make sense. I don't know someone who has been reborn before so how in the world can we know if a person will be like that??? Still, I just feel so irrationally irritated by the main character tying things into knots then wallowing away in self pity. At this point he has yet to tell the male lead the pain he has experienced and it's driving me up a wall.
Clarification: this is a fantastic novel, provided you enjoy angst. I'm not hating on the novel at all, if I did think it was crap why would I be up until or past midnight reading it? However, the angst hurts so much and I want to punch some sense into the main character even more.
