I actually don't know what to feel or say about this 😭 it's pretty sad and suffocating to read. Wish they have a good ending in the end;-;

The MC's role is usually that of the background character in other stories. As horrible as it is, I'm interested. That character that suffers with no happy ending in sight is real. His strength is real.

I think it's a bit more bearable because the incidences are shown as vignettes. It's not told in 'real' time or chronologically so the effect of the violence suffered by the MC is not as severe. Usually I can't bear this kind of violence but the way it's delivered is not pornographic. If that makes sense.

(So far) we're not made to understand or sympathize with the abuser either. Except maybe the present one a little.

So for me, it's bearable... barely.

MC really suffered in his past life and everytime he remembers some of it I just wanna kill emperor one more time. I still don't know how to feel about his second life version though. It looks like he tought his lesson & all but still ... Anyway thank you for your translation♡

Nothing but praises for MC finally regaining his memories, they will fall on trash if he becomes the same man as before 🥰🥰🥰

Code:
At the beginning of this story, I didn't want them to end up together bc it's such a toxic relationship. I'm hoping I will still think the same bc romanticising toxic relationships makes me uncomfortable, but I am interested in seeing how the author explores such themes, and hopefully have them move past the toxicity. Idk what direction the author has with wonjae, but with this recent update,
I had hope that he would become better until he said "become like me".
Idk if it was something lost in translation, but i wonder if wonjae meant
he wanted mc to be euqally obessesed as he was, or if he wanted mc to just like him back

My blood pressure raised too many times reading this but it is INTRESTING to see how this will end. The ML better have a heck ton of character development, cause with that kind of mindset the relationship is toxic to the depths of hell and is a big NONO. The MC deserves a better partner. Just glad that the MC didn't fall in love with this maniac ML yet (i'm predicting he might in future?), cause plots like this usually have dumb MCs fall in love with the jerkass ML no matter how psychotic they are.

I don't think there can be enough character development for me to ship the leads together. Like he (or his past self) caused too much pain. Like I get he feels bad but he can't take away the pain.

This says completed but that cant be how it ends? And I dont even know how I feel about it, is like the Emperor is a villian even though he is trying atone for his sins he committed way too much to be forgiven.
