After MC got to the house, he was still wearing his old clothes of which he didn't have many to begin with and were all faded because of how old they were. ML only got MC a dress shirt once right before they went to get the marriage certificate because they would have to take a photo. Later, MC was somehow wearing light colored fluffy sweaters that made him look even softer, but there was no mention of where MC got those cute clothes.
[collapse]SpoilerMC was so poor that he only had an old cellphone that had broken several times, but still worked. ML never got him a new phone. I'm reading chapter 55 and there was never a mention of a new phone, even when ML would completely freak out if there was ever a time he couldn't contact MC.
[collapse]ML kept mentioning that they have to make the marriage look real, but apparently a rich guy's spouse wearing faded clothes, owning old things and not being able to afford stuff looks like a real marriage. The only thing ML prepared for MC was a room that turned out to be a failure.SpoilerThe room they prepared for MC was a child's room, with childish colors, toys, plushies and cartoon bedsheets. ML told the designer that the owner of the room is someone young and asked to not make the room too serious and this was the result. Because "young" equals "child" I guess; give me a break. Later, an outrageous room resulting from the ML's thoughtful instructions seems to turn into a running joke that isn't funny at all.
[collapse] Second thing that rubbed me the wrong way was MC's attitude about his health and body. Don't get me wrong, he's happy to be alive even if his new body is deaf, but his new body is actually really weak but he does nothing to change that. He was even described as lazy. But shouldn't a person who got a new lease on life be ecstatic and do everything in their power to be able to live a happier and longer life? The narrator says he wants to live a happier and easier life, but has he done anything to make that come true? The only thing he's done to live better is to let himself be spoiled, but nothing to get healthier.SpoilerMC died in his past life from a terminal illness and it seems he suffered greatly from the disease. Now his new body is REALLY weak. He has a weakened immune system, has anemia, his blood clotting function is really low because he has a low platelets count, he suffers from low blood sugar, he has a rare blood type, his muscle mass is almost none existent and he has a sensitive digestive system. From the way it's told, it seems like he has all these conditions just because of malnutrition. But does he do anything about it? No. The first time MC heard about it, he even had the audacity to think that being like this wasn't any different from being terminally ill, like all of his conditions wouldn't be fixed with a bit of effort and care. Later he is still happy to be alive, but he doesn't do anything to improve his health.
[collapse]MC could literally die from a paper cut.SpoilerAnemia + low blood clotting function + rare blood type + paper cut = bleed to death
[collapse]SpoilerDoes the ML do anything about MC's health? No. You'd think that as a guy who's filthy rich, ML would hire professionals to design a special diet and exercise regimen to nurture MC back to health, but does he? No. ML does things to avoid MC getting hurt, like child proofing his hospital room and home and doesn't let MC eat too much of certain foods, but that's it.
[collapse] The MC is constantly described as a child and ML also treats and sees MC as a child and babies him. MC is so weak and so spoiled that MC can't do anything on his own. ML also likes how dependent MC is on him. The way ML treats the MC makes me feel like he only likes MC because he's pretty and pitiful and would be helpless without ML. It almost seems like ML likes MC because ML wants someone who is completely dependent of him and would be helpless without him. And the fact that MC doesn't even have an incurable disease, but conveniently doesn't seem to be able to get better is like a plot device to make MC deadly dependent on ML. It gives me the creeps.No, really, the novel keeps describing how cute, pretty, small and weak the MC is, NONSTOP. Soft fluffy hair, light rosy complexion, big round watery eyes, fleshy pink pouty lips. He uses both small hands to grab onto his cup and uses his small mouth to take small sips of his milk. YOU'D THINK THIS IS A BABY OR A TODDLER.SpoilerAll this and remember the childish room? And he likes to wear fluffy sweaters and loves hugging plushies. Oh ML also has to carry MC everywhere, because MC is too weak to walk far. And he child proofed MC's hospital room when MC was hospitalized and child proofed his house after MC was released from the hospital. If this is not creepy, I don't know what is.
[collapse]And another thing is that MC conveniently knows that he's in the world of a novel, but doesn't know anything specific. Only that there's a white moonlight, MC's gonna be tortured if he falls in love with ML and ML won't care until MC's almost dead. So there's no progress in their relationship because MC is resistant to falling in love.SpoilerBecause MC has no idea if things are still going according to the plot or not but he's making assumptions in that little head of his that ML will most probably still let MC be tortured and won't care.
[collapse] Just stop. I'm just gonna drop this. I have absolutely no idea how this got 4.2 stars
