Hmmm... mann, I don't like this... she doesn't cherish herself at all... and she forgave him too easily, or rather, she didn't even blame him for his neglect. This is way too easy for him. He let her die and now he get to try again without even having to apologize to her! Wtf... and he still doesn't know what kind of rumors circulate about her! If he lost her once, he should be digging everything about her to know who is behind her suffering... man, this is tiresome and disappoiting to read 🫠

@Hiyoko I dont actually see that way, cause She mentions A lot , that She by herself, made the decision on staying distant from him. What we see on the first part its her perspective, wich with that maybe he never been that mad at her, and just awkward, it worsened when she only appeared greedy in front of him without any explanation. He didnt let her die, he didnt even knew She was going to see him, and his perspective must have changed once he got to know more of her,wich on their first life, they BOTH were distant.
@Hiyoko Both MC and ML are idiots who refused to communicate and share each other's burdens in the previous life. She refused to tell him of the horrific bullying she was experiencing, so he thought it was safe to leave her by herself. As the phrase goes "no new is good news." He thought leaving her at the fortress was safer than taking her into the dungeons with himbut clearly his judgement that she was safe was wrong. He didn't want to burden her not understanding it made her feel useless
Spoiler!
according to spoilers: Apparently, he had been sending her lots of gifts that never made it to her due to the bullying and harassment ochestrated by the princess. His biggest issue in the previous life was being too preoccupied with his own inner thoughts that he missed obvious signs, so when she wasn't using any of the gifts he sent he was like "she must hate my gifts" in his head instead of asking her if she was disatistfied with his gifts and after they slept together, he was avoiding her because he felt he took advantage of her and was afriad of losing control around her again. Scared he'd hurt her, oblivious to how he was already hurting her by avoiding her. It was only after she died that he learned she was being bullied, living in squalor, and never got his gifts. He then murderized all the people who had bullied her
@Chibi put simply they're both idiots
@Chibi I understand your point, there was indeed a lack of communication from both. However, his social standing is way higher than hers, which in this type of old society scenario makes it difficult for a woman to speak what she thinks freely. And if you are bringing someone, it doesn't need to be your partner, just any person to live in your home, it's normal to get to know at least if they are comfortable in the house. She wasn't just a guest and he didn't know what kind of room she was sleeping in. This is crazy, because even is he was like "oh, I don't want to bother her", if he likes her he should look for her discreetly. He just doesn't notice things at all. Even now, after his previous life mistakes, he keeps not seeing it. So, we can blame her a little for not speaking, but he is in his second life - he shouldn't keep making the same mistakes.
@Hiyoko Dude was kinda treating her like a male friend and not like a wife oof. Makes me think of those skits about male friendships where the GF is chiding the BF for not noticing things like " WDYM you've known Jason for 5 years and still don't know his last name or his address!" or like "Your roommate, Greg, has been missing for 3 days. Aren't you worried?" Which his lack of understanding what is normal for women and naivety is entirely fair, dude was raised by men exclusively in a religious institution since he was an infant.

This is like his 1000th+ life not his second, so he screwed up a lot more times trying to save her. You'd think he'd have learned and not make these mistakes again
