The younger ML simps hard, but is unable to get past the superior/apprentice barrier. Until the MC dies and comes back as younger than himself and with a lower rank in a different body. Even after ML figures out it's him though, he still waits for consent. Their swapping of hierarchy actually brings balance to their relationship. They've both had years of experience on the battle field now, gone through excruciating grief, and learned to rely on each other emotionally, even if they still have communication/trust issues.

In the last arc, an incident happened and many guides were killed and everyone in military base was blaming him. His 'good' research friend knew this and still told MC to get lunch from the canteen by himself. Ofcourse the MC was humiliated. Keep in mind this is military setting and his friends are suppose to be in high positions. YOU THING they would have some brains. Also, they never went out of their way to even attempt to investigate his death--some friends they are. ONLY the ML did...

He was explained to be a good teacher to many guides. These guides never show up in the story. He also had an opportunity to teach some new B level guides in his new life but nothing came of that. It would've been cute to see him not being able to help himself and end up teaching them. Then in the scenes where everyone was blaming him, these students could've stood up for him and defend his character. If his good friend also put in a few words for him, than it would've feel natural for people to go "oh maybe we were wrong to jump to conclusions, he has so many people defending him."

Seeing how much the ML cares for and supports the MC, through tender domesticity and little acts of service, especially during the MC's more serious depressive episodes... it genuinely made me emotional.

it's a toxic relationship, for both parties. They are not suitable for each other. The MC is too militaristic (understandable) while the ML prefers to either be angry or forget. If you're looking for healthy communications, get out. Their relationship problems are dragged on to even the extras my god. The ML gets angry again and again cuz MC constantly sacrifices himself and then MC says sorry but doesn't really change. It's a cycle. Very realistic.

Then there's the so called character development. There's none tbh. Everything stays the same. Even the problems, the antagonist is still alive, the central is still functioning. They are still in the toxic military. MC still ends up crippled and half dead after a s*upid action (that didn't even work). Just felt pointless.

MC's ex partner was admittedly not hard to figure out, there weren't any other strong noticeable antagonists that stood out. But the way the story was written, from motive, planning, execution, and so on made a lot of sense. How things unfollowed were also influenced by things he didn't account for and MC and ML's actions both intentionally and unintentionally. Sometimes there's just a bad guy behind it all. It's not the type of ending where the reader has en epiphany, but everything did fall into place nicely imo and there were no confusing lose ends.

MC had to enter ML's mind/dreams to calm him down and basically had to pretend to brake in and force himself on him to have s*x. Big ick tbh since they circumstances weren't romantic or very consensual at all. Imo they could've ended with MC helping ML to find himself and reassure him that he (MC) would always stay by his side and end with a confession, but I guess the author decided s*x was necessary. Not really in my taste, but it is what it is.

the MC cant fckin catch a break with his damn legs. N now after all that bs he got lung problems?

at one pt, I was fed up with how weak he gets I was hoping he die n reincarnate again.

when the villain appear in side story????

cus the surprised villain in side story. I literally screamed cus wtf ru doing here ?? Wedding bells are ringing so he should be dead/jailed

the last 3 ch?? Ur telling me a dream had to be that long when we couldve hold actual wedding??

the top r*pes the bottom in the bottom's subconscious because he thought he was a clone. It was made worse because somehow the top's subconscious was also inside that subsconcious reality, so technically he "raped" the bottom in his mind, instead of it just being some manufactured reality. It adds nothing to the story except give the top more guilt (which he really doesn't need; he's suffered enough in the real world).
