The protagonist was accused of stalking male 3 even though all of their run-ins were accidental. The protagonist goes on to defend himself and say he's not a stalker and then goes on to stalk him to prove he's not a stalker??? At least that's how I understood it. He wanted to be in places, like in the archery gym, before male 3 to show it's not just the protagonist walking into places that he knows male 3 is, but male 3 is also showing up at places the protagonist is at already so that he can accuse male 3 of stalking. I'm not sure if that makes sense or if that's fully what happened but it's how I understood it. But also the protagonist staked out different gyms every day just to find the right one like cmon please don't do this. I don't know why it bothered me so much I guess I just found it kind of hypocritical of him but whatever.

Another frustrating thing I guess is just how mean male 3 can sometimes be to the protagonist??? I guess you can call him a tsundere of sorts or just emotionally constipated but he can be pretty rough and rude a lot. It probably has to do with MC being a healer because he seems to have an issue with the healer profession due to his brother. He gets nicer but the violence and rudeness still annoyed me a bit sometimes.

Kwon Joo-ho

In the future he's known as the strongest hunter and uses swords as his main weapon. The MC thinks that Kwon Joo-ho hates him so he tries to avoid him as much as he can until he realizes that he's a target.

Kwon Joo-ho is actually quite cute though. He has a cold face on the outside but his affection for the MC is the highest of them all. He seems to have met the MC before which seems to be the cause of his affection.

Although MC says that Joo-ho hated him in the future, I think that Joo-ho had also liked the MC but then something soured his feelings. My guess is because of the bad rumors that one guy whose name I can't remember spread had spread about the MC, which I think included MC sleeping around with hunters in order to get carried. Joo-ho seems like a person of integrity who really respects strength and these kinds of rumors probably had an effect on his feelings. Of course this is just my speculation. His thoughts on the MC though warm my heart and make me want to squeal because he's just so in love with the MC and wants to love and protect him and he calls him pretty a lot. I hope we can see Joo-ho open up more in the future and be able to express himself better.

Baek Hae-won

He's a fire wizard (not sure if this is the right term) and is one of the most powerful hunters in the future. Currently listed as an A-rank hunter who works for the Hunter Association which confuses MC as he's meant to be an S-rank so he's unsure of why he's hiding it.

He's the one I have the least impression of at this moment. I don't hate him or anything but there's not much we know on his real feelings. On the outside he has a beautiful appearance and a nice and helpful personality. He's kind of like the face of hunters towards the general public. On the inside however, we can see that he can actually be quite cold and crass, and he's really suspicious of the MC. He's very two-faced but not without reason as we can see from how the story progresses. He seems to really enjoy stirring the pot sometimes when it comes to interactions between the MC and the rest of the male leads. This leads to some amusing moments for us and him, and an overall headache for the MC. Of course, this is all to help the group become closer so he's really helping them by doing so. He's the most indifferent to the MC so far and is the hardest to change his intimacy and affection.

Shin Dokyeom
Another of the strongest hunters in the future. He's a genius that uses a bow to fight, and the MC really admired him in the past.

He's the one that the MC admired the most in his previous life. The MC wanted to get close to him in his new life but that doesn't really go as planned as he seems to be really hostile towards the MC.

Dokyeom is really prickly I guess? He's usually silent and anti-social like Joo-ho, but he's more rough and temperamental. He butts heads with Joo-ho a lot after fights in the dungeons and can be pretty intense. His intimacy levels with levels with MC are the only ones to go into the negatives despite rising affection which is pretty funny. His attitude gets better as time goes on and the MC works with him to be nicer and voice his thoughts out more. Overall I do like him and I hope we can see more growth on his part and hopefully some softening to his jagged edges.

Yoon Seungjae

Another strong S-ranked hunter in the future. He's the youngest of the main characters and his profession is tank. Wasn't really involved with MC in the future but he's the first target that the MC gets to know.

I think he's my favourite male lead other than Joo-ho. Although he was reluctant to get to know the MC at first, he quickly warmed up to their friendship and ends up quite clingy towards the MC. He seeks contact and affection from the MC the most and honestly it's like a breath of sweet, fresh air after having to endure the cold and distant personalities of the other male leads. He's quite protective of the MC and is always devastated every time the MC gets hurt. He will defend MC with all he has, even against male 3 when he's being rude to MC, and is always on his side which is really sweet. He's not taken very seriously by the MC until later due to being younger but that doesn't stop him from trying to prove himself to the MC.

a younger cute kinda tsundere gong. He has the potential to be an S class tank

a weird guy who despite liking the MC and has high affection meter, but he has negative affinity meter towards MC. But MC really like this guy from his 1st lifetime because he is really towards MC kind back than. But now, because MC acting suspicious and he thought MC stalked him, he kinda hate MC and avoid him

so MC is come back to the past and try to stop this mega gate that will happen some years later. He has this dating/affection&intimacy system with him who makes him to approach MLs. I don't remember why and how it contributed to stopping the mega gate, but it must be related to that.

The truth behind the mega gate, heavy spoiler ahead:

There's this healer organization behind the rising gate appearance, their goal is to restart the world or rewash them to make the gate disappear. Which will kill all of them. The interesting part is the leader of healer organizaion and the leader of the awaken association is also a re-do. And now MC is an extra variable to decide what the final outcome.

the author hasn't made Ye-hyeon/MC have a sit down with ML 3 who obviously has some sort of beef with him, albeit an ambivalent one, while MC has had an unplanned sit down with ML 1 who he thinks hates him, although this is unconfirmed. MC realized, he regressed 3 years, ML 3 is not the future ML 3 he met before. MC has not realized, ML 1 is not future ML 1 who he has a bad impression of, like...?? Can we slow down and talk pleaseeee. The breaks between gates have been skipped over so much! So many lost opportunities—

"bad" boss monster naming sense on American hunters? Even having a dumb quarrel over a name with a Canadian hunter, are you for real?? There are so many ways to play this off, but author had to choose this one...

take care of the team that consist of self absorbed and prideful people, they don't even know each other...

MC: Choi Ye-Hyeon

• contradictory, conflicted, low self esteem, patient, enduring
• I actually don’t mind him that much, perhaps cuz it’s fun to watch him try to improve himself tho it’s slow, realisation takes a while and with the fact everyone tells him to do anything cuz he’s a healer doesn’t help

ML 1: Kwon Joo-Ho

• silent and awkward
• Man pls, I need you to speak more, you are so boring

ML 2: Baek Hae-Won

• Very nice and kind, gentle and knowledgable, easy going
  Spoiler

  two-faced

  [collapse]
• Very pretty, wish I could see

ML 3: Shin Do-Gyeom

• Tsundere personality, cold, harsh, cynical
• Annoying to interact with, would never be friends with someone like him in real life

ML 4: Yoon Seung-Jae

• Puppy personality: super clingy, overprotective, simple, love skinship
• Most straightforward out of all the MLs

form a solid team so he can survive the future and save his sister

one of the ML is immediately suspicious of MC and how he occasionally is aware of the ins/outs of the gate when he’s supposed to be a newbie. MC knows he needs to pretend to not know but he slips up time to time. Which makes sense because how can you flawlessly pretend you have no knowledge of the future and pretend your years of experience never happened. You’re bound to slip up somehow by accident.
