ml bad, his family even worse

i see what the author is trying to do, the seme is already bad but they’ll make his dad and probably the rest of his family downright awful so he appears decent in comparison and his toxicity can be excused. the mc is already saying nonsense like “he was trying to look out for me” like oh brother. next chapter is probably going to be ml’s family trashing the mc to his face and the ml mildly defending the mc, making the mc start to see him in a positive light
