MC thinks too much, broods too much, that he will miss opportunities for things he should have taken. Like explaining something to clear misunderstandings to ML and even he should be able to save ML's mother in arc 2.

It's easy, although I don't like MC, I keep reading because of ML. He is very sweet, caring and loves MC so much to the point he was willing to die for his lover. Then our beloved MC destroys everything by making the decision to erase ML's memory and ending up in depression. That's ridiculous. He made the decision himself, he should have been stronger and mentally prepared, but again, he thought too much, cried every day, drank until he's emaciated.

ML has no feelings left for MC because his memory has been erased, but when they meet again, ML, who has the power to hear other peoples minds/hearts, when dealing with the MC, the world around him is calm, then the MC knows it immediately throws himself into ML arms regardless of whether ML already remembers him and loves him again or not.

Then, ML finally remembered their memories through the paint made by MC, and returned to love MC. I feel like I'm being forced to have a happy ending.

, there's situation where the MC doesn't give his consent, but then he thinks it's okay because he is guilty of something, or he is treaded violently but he endures because he feels it's okay because he loves the ML or because is a way to calm down the ML, and the author always smooths things saying that: and then, afterwards, soon he felt pleasure and begged for more and similar things.

The MC would be so in love he would be 'I die if I don't have you' sort of thing.

While ML would put MC so many things just to part with him. I understand the reason behind but.

ML would r*pe MC repeatedly just for revenge. Due to a misunderstanding that ML caused. Because he can't trust MC.

MC would take in the r*pe and reliant on him so that he won't be angry and MC show his love for him. MC had no back bone. He did get angry once or twice but that doesn't mean he had a superior position. He always back down because he love ML and would die without him.

They spend dozens of years together in his mental world but they barely had a basic understanding for each other. I'm not saying for MC to suddenly knew all of ML issue. But like if you knew ML was ML and that his d is his d. I would expect you to know of his personality after dozens of years. And not just being spoiled by him whenever you had a moment of HE.

I don't f*cking care if the dude killed your parents ok, there's literally no excuse to physically ab*se ANYONE, EVER. Actually, sure, punch the mu*derer who killed your family a few times to let out steam.

But literally raping someone day after day, imprisoning them, or intentionally trying to make s*x painful for them, and then claiming to still "love" them, that is PURE bullsh*t right there.

It is not romantic, it is not healthy, avoid at all costs.

because he could hear people's minds in the real world, that's why he wanted to stay asleep

The first arc was also especially violent, though it is a fairly big spoiler. The ML quickly turns into a yandere and actually rips out the MCs beating heart. He also imprisons the MCs childhood friend (in the dream, the MC obviously doesn’t actually die and the childhood friend doesn’t exist). It’s pretty shocking and pretty sudden. Makes you wonder how in the hell MC actually falls for the ML. Interestingly, the ML is probably the most yandere in the first arc and also never kills the MC again (despite the fact that MLs assistant tries to express that the stakes are higher in the later arcs). Instead of mu*derous, the ML becomes more sexually violent as the story progresses.
