I was wondering how bad this has to be for people to bomb it with 1 and 2 stars, I tried my best to give it a fair chance.

Holy hell, now I understand the ratings.

It's bad, really really bad.

The story is a mess right from chapter one, the characterisation is not simply questionable but disgusting.

MC not only acts like a child, the writer even constantly refers to him as "kid/child".

He's supposed to be a university student but behaves like a middle schooler.

It's especially nonsensical when you consider that he already died once, he isn't really his body's age but acts like a small kid to get ML to marry him.

And ML is into it.

I think the writer wanted the cute-Uke personality but drove the bus straight over the cliff right into mentally challenged Shota territory.

Not to mention that other characters are equally bad, they are empty shells babbling random stuff to drive MC/ML in the right direction.

Like cannon-fodder Nr. 1, who is known to be a soft cutie but actually schemes behind your back.

He lies in front of several people, a lie everyone with eyes knows is one because MC's appearance directly contradicts his claim.

That's not scheming, it's braindead. The whole incidence was over in one sentence, why it happened at all is the writer's secret because it sure as hell had no meaning or substance.

There's no logic to how the story progresses or characters act, she just wants it to reach the gay moments as fast as possible before half a paragraph of pseudo-story takes place again.

Only for it to get killed by MC acting like a toddler so another gay moment can happen in the next sentence.

It'll give you whiplash, that's how fast things get from zero to 1k in just a sentence.

Spoiler

MC, ML, and cannon-fodder sit at a table and eat, MC is b*tchy to cannon-fodder in the most childish way possible.

Cannon-fodder says something meaningless, ML looks at him, MC jumps up, runs away and locks himself up in his room like a moody child. All because ML looked at cannon-fodder for two seconds.

Really two seconds, he said nothing, did nothing, he simply turned his head to the guy.

The "story" element, the "confrontation", were three sentences with absolutely no content except for childish b*tching over crab meat.

Later ML goes to MC to check what's going on, MC throws a tantrum like "if you want to look at cannon-fodder so much, then I stick your eyeballs on him to make it easier".

Gay moment follows in which ML reassures MC that he gives no damn about cannon-fodder.

[collapse]

It's at the level of fanfiction written by a 12-year-old who recently got into Yaoi.

It's not crack, not intentional tr*sh, the writer just can't write.

I guess that's why it's on Shudan instead of a big site, they basically take those who couldn't make it on others.
