I dont understand how all of the adults just casually let their kids run around with strangers all the time and how easily tricked they are by literal middle schoolers. It will describe how the 14 and 15 year old MCs were desirable by adults around them which disturbed me such as "if only they were older they could ask for their Wechats, " That disturbed me how they normalize adults being attracted to kids but not acting on it due to morals and condemn a pe*ophile at the same time. They are all the same type of nasty to me. Also like to add that the author seemed to make it sound like the ML was super genius about stocks and stuff but the more they wrote about it the less convinced I was. When you write on a subject that a character you created is supposed to be good at but you yourself aren't super knowledgeable on dont go into details. Thats how I really felt when reading the stocks and investment parts. It was so vaguely explained but took up so many paragraphs I was losing my mind and just skipped any dialogue about it. Also why did the ML want his biological mom to want him. She so easily abandoned the child she raised for 15 years and was constantly looking for a reazon to abandon him because she found out he wasn't blood related. His character was all over the place during revenge arc and everyone was so dumb. I couldn't get over the fact that they are literal children just fighting on behalf of the adults. It was so bizarre. In the end it was an okay read but definitely could've passed on it. Also idk what this author has against women but all of the were extremely poorly written and had holes in their brain it probably resembles swiss cheese. There is blatant misogyny in here and I feel like the characters would just go on a tangent because the author was trying to insert their political opinions and it was REALLY out of pocket and random/OOC for the characters.

It took a long time for the MC to realize that he loves the ML. He never felt anything involving love for any gender.

He only realized when he was about to leave the ML after confirming that ML could spread his wings and fly on his own.

It started out small and then slowly expanded as the MC began to explore and understand his preference in love.

The MC cares more about others than himself and never planned to confess his feelings.

Throughout the story, the MC always went above and beyond to help the ML. More than any other story that I have read so far.

He used his own money to help raise the ML. Buying milk and nutritions so that the ML grows healthy. Clothes and shoes in his correct size. A phone and laptop to help with learning. Guiding the ML in the correct direction with hope that he will be accepted and loved by his biological family.

All while hiding that it from him and letting the adopted mother take credit for it. Even going as far as to pay the adopted mother to spend time with the ML when he was in the hospital. Cause all the ML wanted was family love.

The MC worked as a translator to help make money to help the ML grow up safely and strong.

In the end, the MC wanted to adopted children with disabilities. And even own an orphanage for abused and disabled children.

The ML did not care about any of the bad things in his life so long as he had his mother’s love. Never complaining about anything so as not to make it difficult for his mother. Always taking the beatings for his mother, cleaning, cooking, and saving up money from empty bottle to help his mother live a bit easier.

At first, the relationship between the MC and ML was rough as the ML disliked the MC for being one of the many people that bullied him. The ML held a strong grudge and distrust against the MC for a long time.

Later on, the MC saved the ML when he ends up in the hospital for protecting his adopted mother from his adopted father’s beating. Due to his adopted father finding out the ML is not his biological son.

Cause the adopted mother exchanged her real son with the ML so her real son could live a good life.

So the adopted father thought he was cheated on. But finds out later on that the ML is actually not related to either of them.

And since they are not related, they refused to pay for the ML’s medical bill to save his life. Even though the ML ended up in the hospital in the first place due to him protecting his adopted mother from his adopted father’s beatings.

The MC paid the for the initial down payment to save the ML with all the money he had. Then asked his parents for help and set up a donation page for the ML. While clearing up the misunderstandings of the ML that people had of him.

After the incident, the ML got smarter but lost the ability to see color.

The ML always returned the favor of anyone that was nice to him. So after he found out about the donations to save his life. The ML began to start learning how to make money from small jobs to programming, to finally investing in the stock market.

The ML later on repays everyone that helped him out.

At that point, the ML started to fall in love with the MC. Starting from wanting an excuse to talk to the MC, to relying on and trusting the MC, to finally falling in love. But never confessed because he knew the MC did not love him romantically. The ML only confessed after the MC fell in love with him and the feeling was mutual.

In the end, the ML forgave the people that bullied him and accepted the flaws of his biological parents saying that they were only human.

I was just really frustrated and disappointed with how lackluster the romance in this story is that I was wondering if there's still gonna be a development in their relationship even though I'm almost reaching the end! So if you're looking for a fluffy and sweet romance, there is nothing here. I felt like the author just wanted to be done with it and call it quits. Plot is so-so.

ML is too ridiculously OP. Just how old is he? Not even 18! His OPness had me rolling my eyes several times.

was MC having to support ML silently through ML's adoptive mother who was the worst character in the book. Annoying because this made ML had good feelings for her when it wasn't even her who did those kind things for him. It took half the book before ML found out and finally (thank goodness) cut ties with her. And she does later get her retribution.

author writes him off as without good will and against ML. I still felt a tad bad for him because he is a child. Like him wanting to hide the fact that he's not truly their child when his birth mother came looking for him for money could be seen as understandable as someone who grew up spoiled, for fear of being abandoned? But he also did a lot of bad things like staging an accident with the grandma to save her to get her gratitude.

There was a lot of enlightened language regarding abuse, children with disabilities, and not becoming a yandere.

what made me dropped this is on how MC "tried" to help the ML out of his abusive houshold by essentially making it worst. how he handled it is genuinely how a 14 yr old would handle it, not the adult he always claims to be.

he knew the ML was bullied and is sensitive to people making fun of him? let's "accidentally" make fun of him by imitating /mocking his chuunibyou phase in front of the whole class!

he knew the ML had a pe*verted stalker bc of his pretty face thats why he had to cut his hair in a weird way to ruin his image? let's force him to change his image to be prettier, causing the stalker to stalk him again and risk harming/assulting him bc he's (ML) only 15 yrs old!

ML has a trauma of someone taking pictures of him without his consent bc of said pe*verted stalker? let's take pictures of him secretly in front of his face!

he knew the ML's adoptive father was abusive, has severe anger issues and is ready to throw hands at his family at any time? lets piss him off by giving him a paternity test annonymously, making the only outlet of anger as his own son who was inside the house with him at the time!

i said "he knew" bc all of this were depicted in the novel he transmigrates into. Even if he doesn't, most of them can be avoided with common sense. Theres no excuses.

and how he treats ML's adoptive mom? disgusting. The world isnt black and white, and I think she fell into the grey area. Yes, she was a shitty person for switching the babies at birth, I dont want him to forgive her either, but isnt there something else you should be focusing on??? THE ML? HELLO??? Whether or not you think the mom did an unforgivable crime, the victim is still suffering and need both of your help. SHE is also a victim OF DOMESTIC ABUSE. help them. you have the means to.

lastly, POLICE. HELLO? IS THERE NO POLICE IN THIS UNIVERSE?? IS THE POLICE THAT BAD/NOT TO BE TRUSTED THAT MC'S FIRST TOUGHT WAS NOT TO TRY AND GET THE POLICE INVOLVED FOR THE ABUSE THATS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME, BUT TO TRY AND GET THE MOM TO DIVORCE THE DAD??? THAT SHOULD COME AFTER. GET THAT as*hole TO JAIL. GO GET CPS. DO SOMETHING???

(in the end, the MC sponsored his (ML) whole family with his allowance and part time job, which in turn only made the family financially depended on the MC and did not solve anything, bc the dad eventually found the cash, and took it)

of course you shouldnt just willy nilly-ly call the police "hello 911 my friend is abused". Consent is also needed for this bc sometimes the victim does not want your help, but theres where trust and patience comes in. you have to do your best to gain their trust and convince them that what theyre experiencing is NOT okay and that you CAN help. its not an embarassing thing to get help. consult an adult (bc clearly you have the mind of a child as well), keep an open mind, and treat him (ML) as a friend and not a character. I say this bc it feels like he (MC) is not taking this seriously bc he knows the ML will get picked up by his real (rich) family later in the future. This is also why he took the aforementioned unconsensual picture of him, to UNCONSENSUALLY distribute it to the family.

the writer did a shitty job at everything.

i hate it.

I cried when ML found out that MC had been the one caring for him behind the scenes the whole time. Honestly f*ck his mom for not caring for ML as she should have. Definitely a face slapping moment when she realized that the person that had always been on her side was ML, the one she had cast aside.

Then there's this whole thing where ML's birth mom HAS to choose between the son she raised and loved or the son she lost. Like??? Hey what the f*ck those are both your children why are we treating them like which fruit at the grocery store has fewer spots???

For you to have an idea, the MC only thought that he could love ML romantically in chapter 58 and they only got together in 63
