Hi! I Need some advice, please don't juge my failing too hard.

We have resident cat, Otto. He seeemed very comfortable in our home (92qm2) but kinda understimulated despite "excessive" playing (morning before Food, afternoon bevor Food, evening before Food - until he is laying down and panting). So we got a second cat accustomed to cats (The shelter said Otto doesn't mind others cats).

New cat's Name is Franz. He is extremely comfortablen with the space, but not dominant. Immediately showed his belly/neck and invited to Play. So we did an intro, but too fast. They were okay for one week, sleeping in our bed, tolerating. All of a sudden it was not OK anymore, Otto attacked Franz - not playing but with Screaming and fur flying.

We separted them again. We are lucky to have the flat layout with the lving room at the middle, so we can swap territories.

Franz is extremely open to share, but Otto I think is insecure and attacks.

How to improve Otto's confidence so that he will be ok with submissive Franz?

we restarted introduction with them not seeing each other, doors are closed for smell only.

I wanna mntion, they ate next to each other up close with the fence and even played with the same toy through the fence.
