Forced to Become the Villainous Son-in-law - Ch. 13

@karamaru yes he tried to set him up because he wants the wife and to get him out the way hes trying to get her to get the husband
 
I can understand that wife has a reason for distrusting MC but MC accepting his wife now would be quite a step back.
And I still don't like her, ice demon girl is a lot better.
 
I don't blame the wife for distrusting the MC since its only been a couple of days when his personality did a 180°. Love the loyal maid tho
 
Casually dropping a literal pile of gold (even in your own house) seems like it'd have huge potential to backfire.

Was glass really valued that high in ancient times ?

Also, is this really a setup for the wife apologising for distrusting him ? Dude's done nothing but act hella suspicious since he hijacked the body of her husband.

MC accepting his wife now would be quite a step back

A step back in what ? He never rejected her, she's been the one pushing him away every time. And doing so for perfectly valid reasons. And it's not just that MC perfectly understands those reasons, he wrote them. He knows perfectly well the uphill road he has to climb to make up for the reputation of the guy whose body he snatched.
 
Well the MC, got ice demoness and the bros,so does he really need the wife lmfao.
 
@kowoyoshi more like... he kinda owes the wife for writing up a horrible life for her despite her not deserving it. Also, she did help him start things off with that initial 50 silver. He paid her back, but would he have gotten to where he is now that quickly without her help? You don’t just ditch someone like that just because you no longer need them.
 
@genR I am just guessing but glass should be valued high. It is extremly hard to make clear glass without modern technology.

Step back as in he has no feelings for her. Original owner was pervert and MC is same , to extent (one of main reasons why he is doing that is to get laid). Not only that, but from MC perspective, she is stranger. So how could it be step forward when girl that you barelly had any contact with, that shown clear distaste for you (MC done nothing wrong, previous owner did, from MC perspective) asks you to have closer relationship... What is the reason as to why MC would accept that? Being pervert would regress more his character than advance it.
 
@KamiKira00
no feelings for her

I don't see that as an issue. Feelings can come later. Besides filial love, no relationship starts with people already in love.

from MC perspective, she is stranger

He wrote her. Sure there's a looooot of finer details he doesn't know about her. But he knows everything important about this woman and her relationship with "himself".

Now, of course that relationship she thinks they share but that he knows only partially would be an excellent reason to take some distance from her. After all, the man she married is now dead. It would be respectful to end that relationship officially since it already ended de facto but only one party is aware of it. But then, it seems she despised that dude anyway. In general it seems the mangaka has zero interest in exploring the moral side of the body snatcher element of this story. Seems to be content enough with "that dude was a piece of shit and everybody hated him, the world's much better off with MC in control of his body now". And so I have no expectation that the story will follow that path.

how could it be step forward when girl […] asks you to have closer relationship

Sex. Especially since MC (the author) is still a virgin (I imagine his current body isn't).

Being pervert would regress more his character than advance it.

That's jut your opinion. MC was making sure the content of his pants was still intact 2 minutes into his reincarnation in chapter 1. I don't expect that trait to disappear any time soon.
 
This is so simple fast paced and mediocre. I love it lol. its solid enough to be a fun read but not stupid enough to be intolerable c:
