He is trapped inside a game where he played as a beta player. He was stuck for 2 years I believe. He will return to RL after the ML finished a hidden quest. MC will woke up inside his home in a state of starvation and dehydrated. The company of the game, Rise, send a staff to look after MC when he is still trapped in the game. After MC woke up, he was sent to a hospital in a vvip room which the company pays for. His room is next to ML's room where ML was admitted because of heartbreak after MC disappeared from the game.

ML is a chaebol who fell in love with a NPC (trapped MC) from a game. He is a nutcase btw, I mean look at how he was behaving in the game lol. When he found MC in rl, he was afraid MC would disappear again (salt in game disappeared after he finished a hidden quest so he is traumatised) so he tries to follow MC back home and actually manage to find MC's house. HE THEN PROCEEDED TO BREAK IN THE HOUSE 😭. With a bloody hand and feet after breaking and stepping on the glass, he immediately went to hug MC.

No sense of danger cause he just let ML hugged him after he break into his house 😅 ML actually get MC to take responsibility of ML's injury.

there's a bit to many fillers where some information are not that relevant. I mean of course it's to make the novel look longer and well thought but as someone who paid for the chapters, I'm kinda upset when the whole chapter is irrelevant and no progress at all huhu.

The MC and the ML are both hospitalized at the same hospital, one due to malnutrition and one due to a heartbreak *like fr???*

his mother leaves him behind, his alcoholic father dies later, then his chronically ill grandfather also dies, then his grandmother as well

the MC receives a mission with the whole saving the game world troupe with the 72 demons that were released blah blah, and he said that the reason he wanted to proceed with the mission was because that game world was Whitey's world *awwww*

Whitey is the one who trapped the MC in the first place!!!

Pe*verted: he's 29, MC is 22, he met 22 y/o MC when MC had a small body, and spouts pe*verted words to MC when he was an npc. Thinks of kissing and possessing a vulnerable MC.

Delusional: he met MC a couple of times and treats himself as mc's husband, in the literally sense, having a severe sense of possessiveness and repelling anyone who is close to MC.

Psycopath: he broke into mc's home, forcing the door open by bashing mc's window.

Guilt tripper: he got injured from breaking into mc's house, and still had the cheek to say that it was mc's fault for making him misunderstand, even if the cause was his own delusions and possessive nature.

I dislike this kind of male lead, extremely, and I have no idea what is so appealing about him, or if he will even get better with time. His behaviour upsets me so much, with his lack of respect towards fellow players, friends, and people in general. I don't even know if he will treat our cute Salt with respect. Currently, I feel that Salt is seen as merely a possession.
