    It's not depressing, nor does it kill anyone. The protagonist in the first book didn't die and is now in a passionate relationship with the female lead. The protagonist in the second book confesses his feelings right at the beginning. Although the protagonist in the third book reincarnates twice, he meets the right person each time (brother, you have to believe me) (fox god face)
