I gave it a re-read and the plot is interesting! it's just slow. reaper is in love with MC, and doesn't want him to die or be punished for defying nature... reaper is a reaper as a punishment for his previous life, so if they're caught as they are (defying the laws of life and death) no matter what they can't be together. if they can make it through yama'a suspicious eye or find favor or a loophole somewhere, the best case scenario is MC and reaper can reincarnate and be together in their next lives. worst case is MC is erased forever (no reaper status and no next life), and reaper remains a reaper forever with the painful memories of being responsible for the erasure of MC.
booooorrrunggggg i want development to their relationship i feel like this lore is getting us no where tbh??
