Comment by Silver Gumiho on One Day, I Became a Mad Tyrant - Chapter 5

Well... from the opening scenes of chapter 1, we knew it was going to come to this. I don't know if I'll keep reading, but... out of all the stories with toxic, unhinged tops that I've read, this one has the most "acceptable" justification? I don't know if "acceptable" is the right word! But the poor guy is living a life that isn't his. He doesn't even know what the company he works for actually does. It's weird that he can't use his phone to look it up, but okay. He's sleep-deprived, cut off from social contact because he can't talk to anyone except the ML, and the system is forcing him to basically survive on whiskey. And that's not even mentioning the fact that he keeps dying over and over again, which means he's also being subjected to both physical and psychological torture. I think even the sanest, most controlled person would eventually lose it in that situation. Does that mean this justification makes it a good story development? I still don't know. Let's see what happens in the next chapters. Because if it's just there to excuse the top being an a**e, then it's a bad plot, just a plausible one. But if it's actually going to develop a theme, then it could be interesting. What I found weird, and I don't know if it was the author's choice or just poor execution, is that the couple has no chemistry. There hasn't been any romantic or sexual tension so far. It all came out of nowhere.
