Law of Inertia Chapter Completed Discussion

I don't know if I can recommend this one. Might have been one of the messiest reads I've had recently.

It's difficult to characterize our main characters. The MC is... stubborn, perhaps naive?, somewhat dense, jaded, and low on emotional amplitude. Our ML is much more of an artistic free spirit, very flamboyant but also very capable. There's a lot of random sh*t going on in this story, and it feels like the MC is just going along with the flow a lot, which I guess is the meaning of the title "Inertia". At the start he already expressed dissatisfaction about his relationship with the ex, but he never took the initiative to break it off. It was only after he saw the explicit evidence of cheating online that he finally decided to break it off, and even later when the ex came to bother him he wouldn't really do anything harsh to cut him off. The villains really felt like a bunch of c*ckroaches. The author claims that it was bc he didn't want to breach the confidentiality contract so that's why he let them jump around, but it's pretty frustrating to see.

The relationship between the MC and ML is also somewhat questionable. Our MC is somehow convinced at the beginning that the ML is a bottom despite the ML's figure explicitly being said to dwarf his previous ex and the ML's large weaponry. Even though it was obvious to other people who barely knew the ML that the ML was a top. The whole mental gymnastics of this were wild, and the ML going along with it to enjoy the perks of the MC walking around almost nude didn't help things lol. Other drama ensues later but overall their relationship doesn't seem very friendly, and the MC is often going against him for various reasons of varying validity. The levels of communication between the couple are not ideal, so misunderstandings and issues are common. Felt like the ML was the one being bullied most of the time at home, though I do appreciate the MC's attitude of defending the ML at all costs to outsiders.

Overall a very messy story with Schrodinger's level of happiness in our main couple's relationship, our ML's mom being spontaneous af while her man indulges her every whim, a side couple with a love hate relationship, and the chaos between the villains and their respective gold backers. Do not read for fluff.
