Hold His Hand Chapter 50 Discussion

I've made it through nearly three arcs by skimming through most of the chapters, otherwise I would have dropped it after arc one.

Arcs are dragged out and full of background information no one wants to know, the worlds are completely separated, everything we get to know about them is void 20 chapters later.

I don't need to know a fictional country's whole history, including people that have died long before the story started and won't come up every again, but the writer spends at least 5-8 chapters in every arc on these useless information.

If you cut out all of these fillers, every arc could have been finished in 10 or so chapters, they have very little substance with large time skips every now and then.

Repetitions. Everything, including the most mundane things, get repeated every few chapters, sometimes even the phrasing is the same, so it's blatantly copy-pasted from earlier ones.

MC's memories from his former worlds are sealed, yet he remembers everything that happened during the story, and he's a genius even without his memories – he's OP as hell.

ML is borderline yandere, he planed to r*pe the MC right in the first arc, something went wrong and it doesn't happen but that doesn't change ML's intention.

Just because MC happened to actually want to sleep with ML doesn't negate that ML secretly gave him aphrodisiac and tried to knock him out with drugs, even stating that the aphrodisiac was because he's afraid an unconscious person can't get it up. He had no idea that MC was actually in love with him, he wanted to r*pe and unwilling person, it fell through only because the drug didn't work properly.

I would have been somewhat okay with this due to the complicated circumstances, but I'm not because the writer not only failed to show how wrong and despicable the plan was, ML never told MC about it, neither did he regret it at all because MC turned out to love him anyway.

This isn't what I would categorize as "no r*pe".

Apart from that, he's possessive and manipulative to a degree that I just can't pretend that it's still okay – it's not.

Their relationship is toxic as hell, from both sides, just in different ways.

Their romance is very very questionable in all three arcs that I read, it's uncomfortable and nothing about it is sweet or cute if you think about it for two seconds.

For some reason, at least one if not both are often barely of age (16, 17, 18 etc.), which makes it even more disturbing.

Side-characters? None, the writer didn't bother with that at all.

Villains? Braindead, they exist only for MC/ML to face-slap them.

The story is juvenile and unprofessional, the writer either has very little experience or never bothered to learn the basics of storytelling, and it very much looks like she was paid per word considering all the useless fillers and repetitions.
