mc isn’t likable at all tbh Except for when he helps his friend ito to discover her himself but that’s the only time i can think of him doing something truly selfless. But honestly it’s ok that the mc is so u likable tbh the rape scene almost made me stop reading and I get if anyone did at that point but I don’t believe the author is condoning it I think it’s just to show the reader how narcissistic mc is that he truly believes he helped her. And it’s a theme throughout that he’s not really helping anyone he’s trying to help himself. He sees himself in everyone he “helps” even Ito during their little therapy session . Because the homunculi are a reflection of himself. I’m honestly wondering if they were there to begin with or if mc was just hallucinating . Nanaimo could supposedly see people’s hearts as well but maybe not the same as his illusions . Another scene that really got me was when he asks Nanako to see him and all she sees is a demon. I’m kind of disappointed she believes in his power after what he does to the yakuza boss. I’m assuming she lost her life after the trepanation. I feel like the cops weren’t arresting him for just doing it on nanako I feel like he’s so desperate to be seen that he probably did it to others. He was willing to do it to ito the second he got in the car. Also I find it really tragic that ito did set him on this path. I don’t know where mc would’ve ended up had he not gone through with the surgery but Def not the ending he got: mc was better off without his “superpower “ ito probably feels so guilty for setting mc on this path to madness and potentially being the cause of death for so many others. That’s just my headcannon tho. Honestly this was a 9.9/10 imo I’ll remove .1 cause I feel like the rape scene was dragged out and unnecessary.
