I love that this story addresses the treatment of mental illness in a factual and compassionate way without blaming the MC, though I think he has some serious PTSD, rather than a generalized anxiety disorder.

For my last point of why I feel the story is good but not great-- despite the author's attempt to portray psychological issues, I find it a bit odd how PTSD wasn't mentioned, and also the reactions of the MC's family to the murder attempts. It's true that the MC is the only one who knows how horribly his family dies in the other life, but clear attempts of murder were made on the brother/father of the MC multiple times, and it was kinda weird how calmly they took it. Look, if someone switched my medicine FROM THE BOTTLE or put a weird drug in my car I'd be paranoid for weeks. But it seemed like the brother/father of the MC were hardly effected. And even given their 'serious and rational' personalities that allow them to keep calm, unlike the MC (who is extremely anxious to the point of sickness), you'd think they might attribute some of his mental breakdowns to PTSD about the murder attempts, and not that he has an inherit psychological problem like long-term anxiety or depression. Plus, I'm not sure anxiety medications are the right choice if the real cause is PTSD/disassociation from flashblacks, which makes the last arc of the story quite sad. I mean, it's not like the MC is believed even if the says he's from another time line. There's also the mother, who keeps making the MC take chinese medicine... and TCM is just bad... it has little basis in science and some ingredients are from endangered species.

the family didn't believe in his "dream"/past life he confessed to, they don't fully understand he has real underlying trauma. The ending although some may say is slow, is absolutely necessary for the MC and the readers to understand how important the MC's past is to not only affecting the MC's mentality on his current future but how it shows to the readers that this isn't just a cliche book where we'll act like the past of this character doesn't matter. Bc mental health is a real issue to be concerned about and just bc you got reborned, doesn't mean everything is ok up there in your head after I get revenge. The slow ending showing is recovery is necessary and important. That being said I wish they didn't just put him on meds. Nothing against meds, but the boy is truamatized. He needed therapy y'all. Sadly they don't think he's truamatized again bc they don't know that that sh*t really happened to him. They just think he's chronically anxiety and depressed which they take seriously enough to ask him to take medical treatment but Ahh it just makes you pity him so much bc of we as readers know that the family will never truly get to know his issues. But they are trying and it's truly heartwarming to see a real family who cares.

the MC friggin' spent 10 years to avenge them in his past life and ended up dying in front of his brother's tombstone but we rarely get any heartwarming moments betweem them.

I felt really really bad for the MC’s past life like he really had no one with him like ML was there to help but he disappeared too and MC didnt even realize his feelings for him before he left and he just supressed his feelings after he left...

When he rebirthed too, I felt bad for him. Although he did have a new life and changed his past but he was still so trapped that I just cried for him. I loved his outburst when confronting his family. I know they wouldnt believe it but atleast he got to say it?? Anyways. Fortunately his family is with him now, fortunately his love can accompany him in this life.

Ugh the extras about the parallel universe where ML didnt die was so bittersweet. When MC asked “It would look ugly if you put a wedding ring on it.” (something along these lines cuz his left hand had a big scar) really just broke me. He was so insecure and I’m glad ML was there for him.
