So i didn't bother reading the whole thing, but there's a part whereWhat happened in the web novel?
It's sounding a lot like this manga isn't going to get better.So i didn't bother reading the whole thing, but there's a part where
his maid ends up falling in love withthe hero while mc was on the front lines of the monster fight, and she leaves the mc to serve the hero, while the mc talks about how the hero is better and gets heartbroken.
There's basically the mc constantly blaming himself and being punished for actions that occurred before he took over the body.

The manga ends at chapter 25, after a short tournament arc, so there isn't much left to be series. Just a few more chapters of everyone hating him and self hatred.It's sounding a lot like this manga isn't going to get better.
I also find this series to be trash. This guy just gets degraded through the series for no fault of his own, and the author somehow thinks that's interesting and fun. This series might have made more sense if he had actually committed those evil acts before regaining his memories, but as it stands, it's just misery porn.I just asked this after just seeing it on Reddit, god damn it I just wanna drop this trash now
Hey actual web novel reader here this is being taken way outta contextI just asked this after just seeing it on Reddit, god damn it I just wanna drop this trash now
After reading the spoilers. I really don't want to be stuck at the same loop of this shit. Probably will drop it as well.I just asked this after just seeing it on Reddit, god damn it I just wanna drop this trash now
What an annoying chapter. For the length of the whole chapter I was just waiting for Leold to tell Erina to keep her forked tongue behind her teeth. But of course the previous chapter, where Leold was unable to lift a finger to defend the saintess, already revealed he's lacking the kind of spirit you need to confront hostile people. He's feeling far too deeply Leold's past sins. They aren't his. He should just look at them purely objectively, with zero conscience since they weren't his misdeeds. Yet this scene looked 100% like Sendou Makoto himself would have been responsible. I have said before that he can't escape the consequences since he just happens to have Leold's body and identity now, but he doesn't need to get emotional about it, no more than a man falsely accused and sent to a prison would feel responsible for the crime someone else did.
By doing what he is doing...he quite literally and directly thinking "How am I going to fix 'this guy's' mistakes and actions? How can I right his wrongs?"It's not empathy that's the problem, you are over simplifying it.
Again, the problem isn't empathy or a lack thereof. You can be empathetic without being crushed by the actions of someone else. It might be the body he inhabits but he acts like he's the one who personally did everything and that's the problem. If you suddenly woke up in the body of someone else, someone bad, you'd feel sorry and empathize with the victims, but you'd never act like you yourself were the problem.
You would not go "OH DEAR ME! WHAT HAVE I DONE!? OH IF ONLY I HADN'T DONE THAT! AND IF THAT OTHER THING HADN'T HAPPENED!"
The reason has nothing to do with one's ability to empathize but with the fact there is a psychological distance between the two inhabitants of the body, one that literally cannot be overcome due to him knowing full well he's in a different body.
There is no reason he can't look at his host's old life and think "Wow, that's terrible" and then be confident in the fact he can and will do better. There's no reason he can't go "Dang, this is terrible. Leold really made a mess of things!" or when parts of it aren't his fault, he can simply say "I'm sorry you feel that way, and I'm sorry about everything that has happened, but I have nothing to do with that. You can't blame me for everything just because it's convenient. I'm doing my best with the chance I've been given and that's what I plan to continue to do."
Being empathetic doesn't require you to be a wimp with a martyr complex.
Basically what TrueWarriorJak said. Don't treat any random cute girl that shows up as a harem member or a potential one. It's supposed to be that the protagonist is building his own harem alongside the mc and his is much larger though lower quality. The mc has actual chemistry with the girls he has a relationship with rather than just being there.So i didn't bother reading the whole thing, but there's a part where

There's basically the mc constantly blaming himself and being punished for actions that occurred before he took over the body.
As stated before the problem is that he is expressly seen several times taking what Leold did to the chest as if it was his mistake. He is not acting like a separate character, he's often times acting like he is Leold instead of someone inside Leold.By doing what he is doing...he quite literally and directly thinking "How am I going to fix 'this guy's' mistakes and actions? How can I right his wrongs?"
The thing is no one sees the MC. They see the golden pig. It is not convenient...it is the reality.
Even if you consider him a martyr...what is YOUR alternative?
Run away from his past?
Pretend he has amnesia?
Flip off the princess and everyone in the capital, and get booted out kingdom by the King?
Congratulations he'd now be removed from even the boonies and can no longer make any changes for the better there even.
So you don't like him as a martyr. Fine. Hate reading series is also a thing.🙈 Complaning about what you dislike is fine too.🙊
You don't have to listen to what the authors and artists are trying to say.🙉 That's a choice too.
All you did was show up, reply at me for not liking it the way it was handled, ignoring the validity of the criticisms in the post you're responding to and then tried to act smug about it. This wasn't an argument, you were rambling, my guy.Anyways... You made your argument, I have made mine. People will like/dislike what they will. Later.![]()
Makes more sense with chapter 20. But if you're frustrated I don't think much will change, other than it ending abruptly.So now he's supposed to be responsible for others' actions that he didn't ask for as well? What? This series has been going downhill for quite a few chapters now
