"Since the people who wronged the protagonist in the "first run" obviously didn't get to actually betray him in this timeline, his obsession with ruining, torturing and killing them in this timeline is a little petty... so then the author spends an inordinate amount to pages to justify how they are the worst human beings anyway to reassure the readers they deserve it, which kinda feels like putting the cart before the hose, not to mention it gets repetitive real quick."
