This is the worst version of the neglectful husband trope I've ever seen, ngl. Usually the ML's tragic backstory explains his actions a little bit, but in this case it's not enough at all. He's legit so stupid

Yall so mean lol. It makes sense, he doesn’t want to get close, so he doesn’t care to know. It was also mentioned he was away for some time, but even then, he’s been told all his life that he’a the reason people in his life are dying so it’s like a mechanism for him to avoid having people close to him to avoid getting hurt because he probably genuinely believe he’s a grim reaper

Their names being based on Sherlock Holmes characters is so funny!
Fl is smart, but not genre-savvy... the most likely culprit at the beginning is rarely the actual culprit in a crime novel, it's so obvious it's not Renius based on logic alone.
I do wonder who the OG FL and ML would've been though, since there's a love story supposed to be happening in the novel...
Hmm, Tomoya kinda sucks a little bit. It's kida refreshing, and I understand his thought process, but still
