The ML/ogML fell in love with MC at first sight. It was his obsession to possess her.

Tl, Dr: ML had his memories removed every time he begun to have feelings for her and revolt against the plot and the story was rewinded every time but he started to recall the love for her much earlier after each regression (in total 9x times). The world creator needed the story to finish for some reason and their own existence depended on the story completing to the way it was written. I don't think anybody would do that for entertainment when your character goes amok over 5-6times, I'd RQ. The OG plot doesn't make any sense either, the villainess is holding the ML back with blackmail (that they have slept together) but would openly make ML tell the FL that he and the villainess got together and the relationship lasted long enough for FL to assume they'd sleep together during that duration, so wtf was the point of it being blackmail material???

Even after breaking off from the control of the creator of their novel world, he manipulated and lied to her to convince her. He had no faults just like her as they've been puppets at the creator's will and if he would've just explained it from the beginning of their regression instead he chose to wrong her like the creator did to them and I find that unacceptable. That gave her heaps of unnecessary anxiety and headache. After clarifying how obsessed he was with her and how desperately he fought for her, the part on how much he disregarded her free will was never touched on and according to logic she should've hated him. But it was overly focused on how ML was victimized instead of what he did after on his free will towards her. She's convinced by his desperation to hold onto that obsession over her that lasted a decade and apart from that? They're physically and visually attracted to each other, personality wise, who tf knows and they said they don't care which I'd doubt in the long run. Reasonably after being puppeteered for over a decade, ML would snap and become twisted and it does prove he was nuts enough not to care about anyone or anything at that point (saying he wouldn't care if MC died again or if the whole world ends). How the plot would play out in the long run after breaking off from control is all up to speculation. Everybody will be given their autonomy and I find it silly how they never considered what they've been taking for granted will may be taken away; smooth road of success of ML, loving parents and friends etc.

There is a way to write this type of story where the male lead is basically entrapping the female lead. Male lead's lie will eventually become undone but depending on the reason and the explanation of the lie, you can either save the story or destroy it. For me it didn't work. The female lead is right, both the creator of the world and the male lead manipulate her.

But tbh it's not that bad. I just wanted the FL to not give in too easily to the ML. Yeah yeah, we all know what the ML experienced. But bruh, the FL easily gives in with just a little bit of seggy lol. And maybe because he's a yandere so I guess people forgave him but..... I dunno. You may have cope with a much heavier trauma but I need time too for my trauma stop forcing yourself on me and let me just think.

when the male lead say that he would never think that his greed for a little happiness would lead to such consequences... he wishes time would turn back even for just an hour so he could fix her brother's accident, so that she will not be that sad, he even had to tell her that he did that to her brother when it's not even him cus he had to follow the plot he cant even look at her at that time : ( ( ( ( ( ( (im surprised he was still mentally stable after 9/10 lifetime
