istg, do you just not see my point here? i'm not trying to justify his actions or whatsoever so why do you keep bringing up his past mistakes? the point of a character development is that the character would be actually be better than they were before. no loopholes, no justifications, just the character trying to make amends.

Actually what the author was trying to show in the past chapters was that he wasn't aware of how people treated her. Hence, his treatment towards her. Like, is that a valid reason?? only he gets to degrade the fl? Tf?That he "actually" liked her. Wth. We're not tryna invalidate his change. What we're saying is that he deserves the hate. That no matter how much he changes, that doesn't make the fact that he ruined another person disappear. You're the one who's not getting our point here.

hello my fellow trash i am also in club swayed-by-garbage-valer~ i see his growth and i revel in his tortured misery of falling for her too late. i could live on his tears~ also there was the whole bit a min ago where it's hinting the parents had something to do with this so i hold 1% hope for him but yeah i'm enjoying simping for this hopeless idiot~ (plus thanks to his stupidity we got joachim up in here and i am beyond grateful to him for that one lol like hnnng watching that pure love joachim be falling into, the clueless cuz burned once neveah, and the regretful angsty ex who's literally sobbing on the side lines - this is giving me life. he's doing well.)

This! It’s so weird of him to be like “wait, I didn’t know she was having a hard time with other people :(” to feel bad cuz like... that just goes to show he didn’t actually know a damn thing about her to treat her the way he did. He would like verbally tear her down all the time and for what? Now he gets to go “if only I had known...” and that’s considered character development? Bye lmao

did you not read my comment properly? sheesh. i never said that he didn't deserve to be hated.
“all i'm saying is that he deserves to be happy as well and people should not hate on him too much .” read this again and read it well.
he was shitty as fck, but unlike other characters out there, he is someone who is actually thrives to be a better person and not misplace his negative emotion somewhere else! that's honestly such a breathe of fresh air since it's not everyday you get to encounter a well-written character like that.
valer has so much potential to grow as character and many people are not seeing that simply because he's portrayed as what he was on the first chapters.

My point is that this 180 he’s doing was only triggered by her not loving him anymore and leaving. And instead of just admitting that it was because he’s a shitty husband and just not a good person for treating her like garbage, he has to use the way others treated her to be like “oh no... so this is why she was having a hard time.” Like??? Yeah, but also YOU gave her a hard time for NO REASON at all. Not to mention his behavior towards her and the fact that he neglected her was well known, so that escalated the treatment she got from others and the slander.
You’re obviously free to disagree, but he is not a well written character to me. He comes off as a textbook selfish ex who didn’t realize what he had until it wasn’t groveling at his feet anymore.

him regretting his actions doesnt justify his neglect to neveah. even if he didn't know that she was being mistreated, it's not an excuse to treat her that way. its common sense to treat someone decently though you don't even like them. neveah didn't do anything bad to him either and he only regretted shit when she fell out of love
i, for one, don't understand why people hate valer so much. compare to other ex fiance/husband/boyfriend of other manwhas out there, he's wayyy better. he made his mistakes, realizes them, and actually ACKNOWLEDGES THEM. he regrets them and even with such a negative emotion, he still wishes for neveah to have a future without suffering. and with the recent chapters? istg i'm finding him cuter and cuter. i'm not saying neveah should get back together with him, heck! i like her with joachim.. all i'm saying is that he deserves to be happy as well and people should not hate on him too much
PS. don't yall dare associate him with trasta and sovieshit
