the amnesia wasnt that bad he still remember he was a transmigrated person, which is the most important memory. he just forgot a few days (or months?) from his initial arrival.
i mean even if he remember those memory now it wont change a thing. maybe he will just come across cain and said hey old friend how are you. and maybe helped him regain his protagonist's position if he cared enough but there is also high probability he will just leave him be. i mean his purpose in coming there is just to continue life in a place written by his sister, it wasnt clear whether he want to live exactly like the character he is in but probably not.
hm thats what lack from this story. A MOTIVE. after transmigrating and run away from that weird place, Satin doesnt have anymore motive. ok maybe he will look for Cain and confirmed he is safe as a friend but then that's as far as their relationship extend from Satin's POV. he wont have anymore business
i didnt realize i had read 50 chapters bc nothing much happened because they kept going in circle with their relationship. as someone else said, nothing actually got solved.
TO SUMMARIZE:
arc 1 - they became temporary partner
arc 2 - the "villain" cancel their partnership so they worked to take it back.
IN SHORT, ARC 2 just allow him to regain his position in ARC 1, sure they are dating now but they dont even imprint. Just be more lovey dovey.
IT READ LIKE A SHORT STORY SO DONT EXPECT TOO MUCH DEVELOPMENT
still, i love esper Do's personality. he's really cute and i kinda surprised he kept that act to the end. I mean, he didn't turn 180 degree and Section Chief Lee (mc)'s impression of him didnt change much since the start (same as me), but he still fell for him anyway. To put it well, you dont meed to worry about character's twist. To put it badly, there's no personality development.
i see couple with bigger problem that still wont break up, even a lot of married couple have that kind of dynamic where the husband busy working and the wife takes care of the house and nagging the husband, then they barely eat together and communicating but they still together (marriage is harder to break off). so i actually kinda kudos for tsukushi to call bullshit on it. Although it's better to communicate it first.
toui lowkey gives a vibe of minor inattentive adhd, or are stereotypical novelists like that? hyperfocused on their work and forgetting to take care of themselves and looking around their surrounding. anyway whatever it is, i can relate to it
ah what i meant is i dont see it that unrealistic for them to be back together bc the things that made them break up isn't as worse as some stuff like cheating or being overly possesive and oppressive, gambling being alcoholic or lending a big amount of money. well people can break up from very minor things too but they also can go back together for a minor thing too. in the first place they really love each other and have been together for four years
ignoring his politically married wife isn't a malicious move. obsession for a male lead that's very green has becoming weird. is a man not allowed to have trauma and keep it to himself he owed no one to explain not until the trust between them grows. so def he didn't owe it to the OG either.
he was very nice already he gave her all she supposed to get as lawful wife, didn't restrict her movement, didn't cheat on her, didn't abuse her or his child. likened his action to incel is such a karen move or whatever female equivalent of incel is. contexts matter. real incel would do worse
aside from that, child neglect is bad but even the nicest parents can still do it unknowingly, not all parents able to do it right the first time especially when the child is an accident or even worse. noah was finely clothed and well fed something that can be envied already by a lot of children. ofc child neglect is still bad and he need to atone or make up for it. i am not child neglect apology. however understanding and support can be given to changing parents so they can do better instead worse.
as from events in OG story, it all happened due to the OG plot so in my mind those OG characters before MC appeared were like puppet following a script. and there's no need to count about what could have happened. just think of it like parallel world.
anyway dont make the expectation of ml become as toxic as toxic masculinity. btw there's also similar story from the rofan webtoon side, become a Cinderella step mother something. i think it's received well.
ofc i know not everyone think this male lead is completely bad, but i see no one defend him from being likened to incel using this reason so here it is. in case there will be new readers with such thought











this story felt like it chopped into two seasons, during the first year it all focused on the main couple while there js a cute side couple (di and zikui) they dont overshadow them at all. but once they got into second year, suddenly unrelated new characters appeared which only purpose is to make the main couple jealous (the blonde and the black haired guy). yu tong's sister and weiyun's brother are understandable at least but not those two guys.
however if the story want to be tighter, it really should just finish not long after they got together. after that, the plot development just seem unnessary. it read like a korean drama/webtoon now instead of chinese manhwa lol. it feels like author just want to make it longer for more profit no offense.
btw where are di and zikui?? they are mvp when it come to side characters even more than the best friend and sister. it is weird that they suddenly dissappeared.
