the amount of sigh i let out each chapter (in another life, he managed to escape from him)
tbh, i love how they didn’t justify and elaborate the ml’s actions by giving us nothing, not even a backstory to take pity on him. man’s just doing it for the game. he’s js bat shit crazy and that we should not romanticize every shit he pulled throughout the story. unpopular take, but this is one of those stories that makes sense in terms of stockholm syndrome trope. i hope there’s no side story to this wherein they’re depicted as a loving couple so that i will always have the same fear i have for the ml. he scares me. legitimately. it’s like he’s a real person.
for the mc tho, if he had managed to escape, i wonder what his life would look like? will he survive without the ml or would he come crawling back to him after a year or two? he wasn’t THAT broken when he wanted to escape, he can still think for himself. if there will be a side story to it, i wish it was an alternative one wherein he became free and that all the fucked up things he went through was a fever dream. or that he took sum of the ml’s money and vanished into thin air. i want the alternative one to be on the ml’s pov where he will unalive himself by the end of it. oh well, a reader could only dream…
