I've read the novel. Until the end ML just full of manipulations and gaslights.
At some point, ML feel bad for how he's treating MC and aware of his pain. Strangely enough, instead of try to work for the better relationship, he gaslighted MC to make him looks like the monster who traumatized MC in the past. For some moments MC did stand up for himself, but sadly his insecurities and loneliness never fail to make him fall for ML again and again. If MC expressed his pain or disappointment, its not even take one/two chapter for ML gaslighting him. He manipulated MC by pretending that MC take control of their relationship. He told MC that he'll resign from the office and leave everything if that can make MC feel better. Then he was like, 'is that what you want? Ruining my career and all?' This asshole just take drastic measure when it is truly unnecessary. The insecurity MC will be feel bad and feel he's the problem.
I'm so done with this part of the novel; MC simply expressing his insecurity of why ML like him, which ML said, "Do you realize how disrespectful that sounds to me?" And, "I don't know what kind of answer you expect from me". BROO YOU JUST NEED TO SIMPLY SAY, " I come to like you by the time we spent together". That simple. Why is he triggered much??? He just gaslight MC for EVERYTHING.
The guy just full of himself. Hardcore narcissistic. When MC unable to finish his words because overwhelmed by gaslights, ML has the audacity to say, "In moments like this, you should just keep your mouth shut until you fully digested your words"
I'm starting to questioning the author's life situation. Are they this gaslighting AH or a victim of it.
So anyone who argue ML is a THERAPIST for MC's trauma is INSANE. He's more a RAPIST than a therapist. The whole problem is not about BDSM. Some statement about 'Don't read it if you can't handle BDSM' is ridiculous. BDSM is not the problem, it is about the whole plot and the shitty character of ML. MC will be forever trapped in that toxic relationship where ML take control. MC may have happiness only if ML allow it. As the author want a happy ending, then MC get that happiness as ML decided it, and MC must be grateful of.
