tbh I didn't really like him at first, he initially approaches mc's friend (bcs he is the reincarnation of the person ML loved thousands of years ago) but due to an unexpected thing he bonds with MC with his other identity (fox). guess what he did? after making mc's friend

fall in love with him. ML (fox) actually gives hope to mc!! and even confessed to MC that he likes him?! if ML will prefer his old lover-, he should not give any hope to MC and focus on your old lover!!MC didn't even know at first that these 2 ml's were the same person :) another comment says MC is third wheel but he wont be third wheel if ML doesn't give him hope. ML should also be more assertive between choosing his old lover or MC but he keeps undecided

pathetic human. hiding behind his usual mask he is a person full of envy, jealousy, and loneliness, never feel the feeling of being loved. after he met ml/fox he finally understood what it was like to be loved. when he blackened after ML preferring his old lover/MC friend, I'm not too surprised. if only ML wasn't mc's obsession in his 2 lives, I hope in his next life MC much more trying to love himself +finds someone who is more sincere and loves him.

one of mc's monologues that makes me sad

"Who was it who said he would always be there for him? Who had told him not to be afraid?

Why wasn't he coming to his rescue when he was so afraid?

Why did he choose to save Lu Ming but abandon him?

Why did no one notice him, why did no one help him, why did no one save him?

He had been trying so hard to live, so why...... did he still have to face such despair even though he was the most. invisible being?"

innocent and cheerful character. that is sad, compared to MC that looks more like side character/villain. mc's friend is much more suitable to be the protagonist lol, MC is also envious of him but he always considers him a "friend" bcs he is mc's only friend, even though in the end it's all in vain bcs MC killed him. Hopefully after reincarnation he meets someone who sincerely loves him

worst of the worst, what happened to him in the end was the payoff for what he did.

is not a good protagonist in the traditional sense

That genius Hai Huan, who's always better than others, the cold CEO type of person. Then we have the idiot, the class clown, the last in class that probs everyone laughs about/with, but is also really like. He's a people person, and at the end of the day, he'll still make it, Lu Ming. Btw that's the side cp I mentioned. And yeah... idk, seeing someone who's always been the worst in everything suddenly get better, seeing them get all the attention... I can understand MCs frustration, bc I also feel so... and also, that naivety, that kindness, that smile... it kind of pisses me off haha... if it's not the MC I don't want others to be that ways... idk ^^' Anyways, these two are like the protagonists of some story... and MC can only be a passer by, somebody who's name won't even be remembered... and that's so sad. It's like how he described at some point in the beginning. He's very average. The geniuses can be as arrogant as they want, they will be liked and admired. The last one in class mostly as well. Despite having bad grades, they still get along with everyone. Only someone who's average in everything, won't get any attention. They aren't good, but but are also not too bad... tbh that's unfair, but I guess that's just how it is... Anyways, I guess that's why I can relate, but also why I feel uncomfortable... it's like, normally I read novels trying to escape this reality, trying to put myself into the roles of the MC who can do anything they want and will achieve their happy ending without much trouble. They are kind of vicious, but only to the point, where ppl will like this kind of trait... but here... I have to face reality, that not everyone can always be good, have good thoughts, won't ever be jealous... so I'd really love seeing MC succeed and show them, that he too, can do it... no matter how... sadly I just can't stand watching that side cp

I wish MC could've been a little bit more cruel towards ML at the end, the ML really doesn't deserve redemption from the MC, he kept disappointing him again and again. The last betrayal really shouldn't be ignored in the name of love. I wish MC had moved on, forgiven and forgotten ML, I wish he had rejected him. "Now you finally choose me, but I don't love you anymore, let bygones be bygones, I spent all my life chasing after something that I coudn't get, now I learned that it's time to let go" I would've been more satisfied with such an ending, much more satisfaction. In the novel's ending, it seems as though after much suffering inflicted on MC by ML, when ML finally decided that MC suffered enough bcs of him and that he let down MC enough times, he turns around, declares that he finally "loves" MC, and MC tearfully accepts ML's love, everything that happened before gets forgotten in the dust, swept under the rug, all of the previous MC's suffering gets forgotten. That is disrespecting and down-grading everything that MC went through. MC really deserves better

The MC is such a gloomy person with a lot of dark thought. Anger, jealousy, envy, loneliness. It's suffocating reading his inner feeling.

The ML is such a cold person who was described as genius but I found him dumb most of the time. He was indecisive, selfish and obsessed. He would choose whatever that suit him most. At one point, he wants to have both MC and his lover, isn't that scummy move? All this love triangle won't happen if he is not greedy and indecisive. I can't bring myself to like the ML until the end.

The are many more important characters, but one word to describe all of them is obsessed.

The MC ended up together with ML in the end, but since I don't really like the ML, it's a tragedy.
