I enjoy reading this and they are so cute and adorable! But one thing that threw me off, when reading the novel, was their quick diagnosis of renato's symptoms. This isn't exactly a spoiler bc we all know that trauma can be sometimes linked to anxiety and or PTSD . I know I can be... quite picky with how certain goes in the story , but the goal for me ,when I'm reading, is to be completely immerse with the story without me having to snap back to reality until I have to. In the novel, and most likely in the manhwa, they went straight to the diagnosing him without getting a good grasp of his history, his relationships, his environment, etc . Obviously , we as readers know, but not the doctor that he is gonna see . Then they proceeded to say he got his ptsd from maximo and went straight to "fixing" it . With renato's history, he most likely been having ptsd at such a young age , and maximo's shit got stacked on it . Not only that, in the novel, he was cured within a few years from ptsd when i saw no form of therapy . Usually, healing from trauma takes much much longer than that, especially from childhood .

    Ah that makes sense, yes maximo has a part in his trauma but theres a deeper reason for his ptsd like his family abuse, especially with how his blood was taken ╥﹏╥

    I agree they quickly diagnosed him with ptsd without unraveling his past experiences, but i remember the novel tho not going specific with the treatment, they did mention hypnotherapy, consultation and well-planned therapy session he had to go with that military doctor in those few years.

    It's not perfect representation of how healing from trauma since it's plot-focused one and other many reasons, it's still nice that this series shows Renato's mental health, the importances to acknowledge it and seek the professional. I believe each person is has its own time to be 'healed', so it could taken that Renato has stronger will to healed in few years :D
