Delayed Affection is Cheaper than Grass; Why Cry When I Depart? Chapter 82 Discussion

Like Yagurl333 said you'll like this if you like grovelling.

Generally in such fake and true child stories the family is mostly guilty of ab*se by negligence rather than anything more severe, to leave a chance for redemption.

However in this book our MC, Xu Mo, suffers from severe verbal and emotional ab*se, with a dash of physical violence here and there. It's not even debatable, the actions are most probably legally termed as ab*se in most countries.

Never have I so fervently wished for the painful death of an entire family. Every time a scene of how they treated MC appeared I had to take deep breaths to regulate my blood pressure.

If you are hoping for redemption you'll be disappointed. There's no chance that the family can be forgiven by anyone with even a drop of self respect.

As of yet the MC has shown no intention of even breathing the same air as them unless forced and would happily throw a party on their graves complete with firecrackers and banners claiming that the greatest contribution of the family to the world was to die.

And honestly -

And honestly - I would show up to the party in bunny costume with a bucket of vodka.

There's a lot of business in it and I was not very interested in the business aspect. I came for the angst.

Honestly I hope there's a new loving family or lover in MC life. He deserves to be pampered.

3 stars because everything is overused. The entire story follows this pattern:-

Spoiler

MC does something - a family member finds out - don't believe/mock - MC excell - family member introspects - realises that they are all human tr*sh- ends up in a guilty trip from hell - wants to make amends - realises MC hates them - cry due to once again realising they are tr*sh - tries to reason with another family member

Rinse and repeat.

None of the family members deserve a second chance IMO. Even the eldest sister who as of yet is the smallest offender is a serial ab*ser/ accomplice.

Also the Mom is bat sh*t crazy and needed to be put in an asylum like yesterday. She polluted the air she breathes with prejudice and hate.

The 3rd sis too.

Please let them get some very painful, incurable, immune against painkillers disease so that they can only die after atleast 4 years of constant pain.
