“Congratulations on your marriage, Kaindel.”

Isaac, who had been Kaindel’s lover—the hero who saved the world from the Great Calamity—learned one day that Kaindel was engaged to a princess.

Exhausted by their already strained relationship, Isaac eventually decided to leave Kaindel, who had betrayed him.

However, Kaindel wouldn’t let him go.

In the end, Isaac fled, unable to endure Kaindel’s refusal to give up either the marriage to the princess or his relationship with Isaac.

Not long after, rumors began to spread throughout the kingdom: the hero had gone mad.

***

[From Isaac Winter, who once loved you]

“…….”

Kaindel read and reread the last line of the letter, but the words didn’t change.

‘Once loved.’

Isaac really wrote his feelings in past tense.

“Ah.”

He never thought Isaac would leave him.

No, he never believed he could be abandoned.

Even if they parted ways, he was sure it would be on his terms.

Because Isaac loved him.

Because being loved by Isaac was, for Kaindel, something so natural.

“Why…….”

But it had all been an illusion.

“Why didn’t I see it?”

Now, the one left behind like a forgotten relic was Kaindel, him.

The one clinging to the past, too blind to see the present, was none other than himself.

He only realized it now, after he left him.

Suddenly, Isaac’s voice, long buried in his memory, resurfaced.

Isaac’s smiling face filled his vision, his silver eyes, like clear glass marbles, gleaming with a thousand bright stars, painfully vivid.

The sound of Isaac’s innocent laughter echoed in his mind. “I love you,” Isaac had once whispered.

When Kaindel’s mind wondered around, did Isaac’s laughter disappeared?

No matter how much he tried to remember, the moment escaped him.

He searched his memory in vain.

As Kaindel traced the days gone by, thick tears began to fall.

Like melting ice dripping onto the budding new leaves of spring, his tears left indelible marks on Isaac’s letter.

“Where is he?”

“…….”

“Find him.”

“Immediately.”

Kaindel finally crumbled.

In the place where his arrogance shattered, a deep regret settled in.

It was a perfect despair.

The fatal mistake of this novel is starting off the first few chapters with the interesting parts in the present then diving into chapters of continuous flashbacks.

I don't care enough to read about the MC & ML's past.

  • If you're not going to write an "original" story without the typical BL cliches and a fresh plotline, what exactly is the point?
We've read this type of crematorium novel a million times over. It's pretty standard how and what happens.

Personally, I'd have just continued the story from the "present day" and interspersed... more>> it with brief exposition with the focus being on the "chasing" part of the story.

Then again, I'm not the author. Quite frankly I don't need to read the same thing again and again, with different character names.

This gets a three stars to be "generous" since I dropped it at CH 16. <<less

Man... Starts off really promising but suddenly it throws you to flashbacks.

I personally do not care about the MC and ML party's past, I wouldn't mind if it was just shown in between the present story but noooo, few chapters in they leave you on a cliffhanger just to go through a flashback arc!

Maybe I'll come back when the flashback arc is over but honestly It's kinda frustrating.

The present is rather more interesting than the past. Honestly speaking, I don't give a sh*t how they ended up together, I need the wife chasing arc already!! But, we just have to start from the start! Really! Annoying!

The flashbacks end at Chapter 60, which surprised me since I thought they would stretch to around Chapter 100.

Also amazing translation

---

... more>> Edit

I don't understand the ML. Not in the sense the story is bad, the story is amazing. I just don't get why the ML loves the MC, or rather, is so obsessed. There's no way the ML can love. He knows the definition, and actions that come with love, but he just cant feel it. Isaac knew ML didn't love him, because Isaac could always tell ML was acting when loving him. It wasnt really genuine, and I don't think the MC was a replacements for someone else either. When ML gets jealous about Daniel interacting with, MC, its feels more like a child getting angry when someone plays with their toys. In fact ML is a child when it comes to love. Sure he's recieved it, but he doesnt know how to give it. He's selfish, not considering MC's feelings, and its like he knows its bad, but at the same time doesnt. He's so stubborn, wanting to feel something physically and emotionally that he holds on to Isaac in hopes of one day learning how to love.

Even if someone asked the ML why he chased the MC all around the country, I don't think ML would even have a proper answer, other than wanting a toy back. His character is so fun, and semi realistic. It's such a thrill and mystery of what this half sane man is going to do.

As for Isaac, I wouldn't say he's s*upid, but rather him and ML are in the same both. MC is a hopeless romantic desperately searching for love, even if it's toxic. Which is why I'm happy he got the chracter growth he needed.

That's all, I really like MC. Out of topic but in topic imagine having a partner like the ML, that would be hell omg. Maybe the reason why MC has grey hair is due to all the stress ML causes.

-----

This novel isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was one of the people who dropped it when the flashbacks started but came back on a whim.

The flashback isn't just some dumb arc to lengthen the plot; it actually introduces characters and meaningful interactions. It highlights how much of an ass the ML is and shows that the MC is fully aware his feelings are one-sided.

I also like how MC's normal actions are seen as weird for a always death prepared group.

The hero's party is also fun. My favorite is Daniel. I really hope the MC visits him after the flashbacks. I'm also curious about where the MC used to work—I hope he can reunite with his friends there. The other party members have intriguing backgrounds as well.

- Owen: A runaway priest and the healer.

- Daniel: An elf who speaks to animals.

- Ruan/Ruen (forgot his name) : A sailor with exceptional eyesight.

I just feel like these four are hiding something from the MC—or maybe they pity him for catching the ML's eye

rating is a 4.2 <<less

The ML is a s*umbag, I really feel bad for the MC, but it seems he is accepting reality faster than I thought and will take action soon, so I'll keep reading, I need to see the ML suffer.

I think is early to give this work a rating, but I'll give 4/5 star, I see the potential and the translation is good.

The biggest red flag of this novel isn't the ML, it's the amount of flashbacks I had to sit through to get back to the present.

This novel is packed with miscommunications and blame-shifting. That itself is fine if things get resolved, but the novel spent so much time on their flashbacks that the ratio of flashbacks to present time is probably 3:1. While I do sympathise with both characters, nothing gets resolved in the first 100 chapters because the entire novel builds itself on flashbacks.

The whole novel can probably be... more>> summarized like this.

Spoiler

MC : You cheater, you don't actually love me do you!

ML : I'm not cheating! I really love you but I need power to protect both of us.

MC : So power is more important to you than me? If you truly loved me you'd abandon your status for me!

[Long flashback]

MC : *runs*

ML : *abandons all his plans to chase MC*

[Another long flashback]

MC : Maybe he does love me afterall.

Typical wife chasing crematorium.

[collapse]

Both MCs seemed emotionally immature for a novel tackling mature themes. They weren't on the same wavelength and I couldn't feel their chemistry. Rather than a redemption novel, this is more of a revenge novel because you'll see ML's fall into the depths of depression while the MC takes pleasure in that. Healthy fake marriages exists so I'm not here to dictate whether non-emotional relationships with others is a sinful affair, nevertheless their relationship wasn't particularly healthy. What I do like though, is how MC isn't a damsel in distress and it was refreshing to see other characters in their team siding and protecting MC instead of ML without having romantic motives. You really don't see that often.

The concept is there, but the author's execution of slotting all expositions into flashbacks leaves much to be desired. It had the potential to be heartwretching and angsty but readers are thrown into expositions after expositions. Flashbacks resolve nothing for the characters, please, just move on!

P.s Not sure if this is translated by AI or edited by a person but there's a lot of pronouns error. The rest of the translations are okay.

Rounded up a 4* but it's closer to a 3*. <<less

Would really be interested in seeing the Hero's perspective. He is showing tendencies of manipulation, the fact that he is isolating the Shou from people and from the hint that I got even intervening letters from Sehar (forgot name) tells me he is a s*umbag. His circumtance growing as a Hero burdened by saving people from Catastrophe seems to gave him unhealthy growing environment and I am not suprised if he turned into psycho because of it. Age of three holding a sword? Where is childhood? That's basically a cold... more>> blooded monster not a child. I'm happy for the Shou understanding themself and knowing what he needs after being with the s*umbag who basically told him, himself I can't marry you or be out in the open with our relationship because a.) you ain't rich and b.) you can't get pregnant.

ML acing redflags one after another I tell you. I hope the crematorium chasing wife would be intense but more with ML suffering from his mistakes. Like dude you can't expect someone to love you if you can have self respect and self love. Bringing different ladies into banquet's and then marrying a princess even for political reasons are just excuse of you not having repects and decency. He is so pathetic and change my mind I hope <<less

The story is entertaining, but annoying. The flashbacks weren’t that bad honestly. It lasted until about chapter 60, but was a nice read to learn about MC, ML, and the other team members.

The thing I disliked the most was the ML. He, despite his past, is honestly just a pos. Like his past describes what he went through and his thought process, but it doesn’t change how annoying and sh*tty he acted.

... more>>
Spoiler

I think the most annoying thing about the story and what plummeted my rating was that all of the story could be avoided. MC ran away because ML was getting married to the princess. Understood, then in the 80s or 90s chapters, the princess reveals to MC that the ML and princess weren’t going to go through with the marriage at all. They were going to stop the marriage before anything actually happened, mid-wedding. But the ML didn’t even bother telling MC?? Instead he just went on to say thats what nobles do? Like this entire thing could have been avoided if they just, idk, TALKED?! They just over complicated things.

I've started reading this and it's pretty promising. The story starts off in the present, but then transitions into the past at a time where you see the MC (Issac) preparing the letter in the synopsis, an incremental moment where the chase will likely begin.

In the present tense:

... more>>
Spoiler

Issac is not being respected by the hero, with arrangements and promotional prospects being presented by the king, which has led to tension between Issac and the hero as lovers. The hero is dismissive of Issac's concerns his position in society where he is continuously disrespected. For instance, banquets or social gatherings, the hero brings other women instead of Issac, and the hero is dismissive of Issac's frustration with the hero being betrothed to the princess. The moment the flashback will begin when Issac decides to leave the hero with assistance from a former comrade and childhood friend of the hero (not getting romantic vibes tbh, but idk how this story is going with the ML or a 2nd ML even).

Told bluntly the hero does not treat Issac respectfully as a lover, as he is essentially marrying the kings princess and is making arrangements accordingly, and Issac does not approve, especially as he was not even notified by the hero but through a newspaper instead. Not only that, Issac has no power or authority so he is treated with little to no respect by surrounding parties as well, only the childhood somewhat respects him but even then... it's more out of pity and a sense that the hero is really doing Issac dirty. There are implications that Issac is more then just the heroes lover, and yet he does not get his flowers in part to the hero not highlighting Issac as a comrade when the king thanks the heroes party.

[collapse]

Hence, the annoyance from many other reviewers, you can even see the translators have marked the chapter when the flash back will end (chapter 60) because of how long it really is. I was also losing my patience with reading the flashback when it was integrated, but I am honestly loving it, it gives some needed context to Issac's personality, his dynamics within the heroes group and even his impressions of the hero. As of chapter 51

Spoiler

MC gets recruited and joins the heroes party, essentially falling in love at first sight upon seeing the hero. Issac gets recruited by the hero and his childhood friend (that helps assists with the escape) mainly for his intel knowledge from being waiter for other adventurers regarding a tricky and strong monster.

Thusfar, I'm loving this flashback because it really builds upon Issac's skills as a companion to the party, this establishes his relationship with the other members and his usefulness from his intuitive thinking (problem-solving) and a bit of his knowledge accumulated from being a waiter for a restaurant where many adventurers commute.

Honestly, this flashback also establishes that the hero was not roses and daisies with the MC as well, there are tendencies that the hero has that Issac clocks and finds strange not only romantically but from an ethical point of view as well. For instance, Issac notices that the hero is projecting someone onto him when expressing his affection, or notices that the hero is physically affectionate despite not retaining romantic feelings for him.

Otherwise, I'm really enjoying seeing the MC actually contribute to the team in a realistic way. Which really contrasts with the present where Kaindel is highlighting his comrades contributions and Issac gets left out, which that acknowledgement could have really helped Issac in being treated with more respect cos... aristocracy. It also makes me wonder where they are now as they have not been introduced in the present at this point

[collapse]

Honestly, I will say the flashback could be integrated in a better way, and it definitely is not where you wanna go when it seems like an angst filled chase is about to go down. But I really love how the flashback establishes the previous dynamics and relationship between Issac and the hero more clearly, and verifies that Issac is actually being done dirty more then in just a romantic way, but potentially as a comrade of the heroes party. There are red flags about the hero that Issac clocked even upon acknowledging his feelings for the hero.

This novel has some potential so I'm gonna keep reading and see how it goes, hopefully it does Issac right. <<less

I was expecting the flashback to be bad because of the review but, it's not.

I feel like everyone just hates the flashback because the present in the beginning ended with a cliffhanger. Everyone just feel impatient.

The flashback itself is not bad at all. The author kinda blabbers a lot, like stretching the scenes to make it longer. But I don't find it boring. Nonetheless, it's interesting and enjoyable to read.
