I know it's just started and I should be more patient, but I already feel like it's wasted potential. Every other chapter is a fucking flashback. And the ml who made a good impression in the first chapter is just a shallow, manipulative bastard. I'm so tired of this "oh, but he has his reasons and a sad past" storyline.
