Spoiler-ish? I guess?

I initially thought the shou was faking his childishness because of the whole memory loss thing in the second arc because his child- like nature isn't very apparent in the first arc. The first world consisted more of him getting used to things and freaking out for the most part. I thus couldn't get a feel of what he was really like in the first world.

Later on as he goes to different worlds it turns out that him 'faking' having a child's IQ in the second arc is actually the closest to his innate personality. And its what he continues with even in the other worlds because the original slag shou's don't solidify their personalities in front of the gong therefore making the character flexible. He thus just acts out his part with his own personality.

It was just something I didn't really expect? In a good way too I guess. Because that means the gong actually fell in love with a very real/candid version of him and that kinda pleases me for some reason😗

The first arc ends as a rape romance. Rape is not romantic. If you cared about someone even a little, you wouldn't use such a degrading means to torture and demean them, making them feel such trauma regarding something that is supposed to connect people. This treatment will only leave the victim to loathe and fear the rapist. Rape should be treated as rape. After the MC struggles to defend himself and is violated against all of his screams and protests, he says it felt good? Like, what the hell, author? Fortunately, the MC dies after this, which makes the ML become psychotic with necrophiliac tendencies and destroys the ML's life.

Like I said, the ML deserves every single drop of anguish he gets.

The second arc doesn't involve rape. Other reviewers mentioned that, while the first arc is distasteful, later arcs are better. So far, this is true. The second arc starts off with the MC essentially being a prisoner and hostage. Once a romantic relationship develops between the two, things change.
