This story just isn’t for me. It’s not badly written or anything, it’s just not to my liking that’s all. I think the thing for me is that as much flack you can give ML for neglecting MC, a lot of flack can also be given to MC, who flat out admits he was an enabler who accommodated a lot of ML’s behavior. Yeah the ML left MC to die alone in the hospital in the end of their first life, but MC also doesn’t say a single word about his sickness either, and you can’t do something that you don’t know you’re supposed to be doing in the first place. Don’t get me wrong, ML did neglect MC and took him for granted, but I can’t help but feel a bit miffed at how MC was a literal doormat but blamed the whole communication breakdown on ML. The biggest thing for me though, is that the way the author has ML consistently hanging around even through MC’s new loves makes me physically wince (in a “this is an INCREDIBLY awkward 3rd wheel” way) and honestly the way they got together in the end felt kinda weak to me compared to what the ML went through.From what I have read, it’s a very good but very dog blooded groveling-type story. I did really liked how MC was also very firm on moving on from ML, and the fact that he actually dated other people the second time around, which is honestly extremely rare. There’s also a lot (a lot!!) of character growth that occurs as well. Like I said though, I just don’t jive with this story and even though it’s very well written. Maybe I don’t really like the MC? Maybe I just don’t like the plotline? Regardless, I must unfortunately stop here.
