And instead of rejoicing at how the MC treats the ML better and how "cute" they are, it just grosses me out as I am unable to comprehend why the ML would want such a life. Being FORCED to be a wife if you were a man would be humiliating.Īnyway, I dislike the MC's petting behavior and his general disgusting treatment of those he is married to, including the other concubines. That's what women had to deal with in the past, but for men, they usually were supposed to be responsible for their family and get an image. Not only that, but ML literally had his entire future stripped away because of this dumb marriage. I just don't get why the wife dude is so forgiving. besides being a little flinchy for a bit, the ML barely takes any time before softening his attitude towards the MC who had recently been terrible towards him. The LAST thing I would want is a person who tormented me in bed to then insist on 'taking care of me', bringing me to the bath, and literally hand-holding me afterward, yet this is exactly what occurs in the first few chapters. The MC (based on the descriptions) had r*ped the ML violently on their wedding night and even after he is reborn barely seems to reflect on it for more than a few seconds.
In this story, the MC has really just been reduced to a 'wife' character. You know, where they can both carry their weight to some.
I'm the type that prefers to read BLs where both MC and ML are masculine to some degree and even if they aren't that strong are treated with some respect as an equal. I get that he finally realizes his husband is a nice guy after the ML sacrifices his damn life for him, but the story is filled with cringe-worthy behavior. I find the MC of this novel so damn dislikable.
