I don't understand why would they always introduce the ML blackmailing the MC. It is so dumb. The idea of having a super OP ML when the MC was OP, too but find her in a bad moment is just soo repetitive. They should allow to see a ML that is of the same level or lower so it will give the illusion that the MC is OP. This is like the MC is OP BUT!!!!! turns into a damsel in distress cuz omg what is going on with this weak knees. it is annoying and boring.
I wish I could see a MC meeting the ML after she gets stronger or meet the ML right away but want to see them weaker than the MC and actually the MC attitude to be greater gives him that push to want to improve himself to deserve her.
