I Became a Villainous Character with a Limited Lifespan Chapter Completed Discussion

In my opinion the characters aren't inconsistent, they just don't act rationally OR have a reasonable EQ.

Honestly, I think it's only the MC that has issues, and only when it relates to his relationship with the ML.

The ML is actually pretty smart, knows what he wants, and tries to press forward to get it.

Our MC however....

Spoiler

Knowing he's going to die he decides to continue the relationship with the ML, despite also knowing that the ML is in love with him. He does this when he knows he's falling in love with the ML as well. However he sometimes acts like an @assh*le to try to push the ML away because he's scared of hurting him. So he hurts him as much as possible with lies instead of telling the truth... which is just... This goes back and forth a lot and it's the heart of the angst in the story. All of this could be resolved easily if the MC just confessed that he was dying. At any point in the relationship with the ML he could have taken the steps to say "I'm dying and there's no cure" and it would have been one hundred times easier on both of them. This is what makes up the majority of the "plot" of this story. Miscommunication, assumptions, and the poor EQ of our MC.

[collapse]

What is an excellent concept and had a lot of potential for drama and emotion ended up just being a totally emotionally inept MC treating everyone around them selfishly.

I highly recommend that people avoid this, but that's just my opinion on it.
