You should really not trust spoilers too much. Do you know why he is a red flag?? Are you just gonna decide that he's a red flag based off of someone's review??
You're totally correct. So I'm going to wait for more chaps before I really label the character.
Spoiler..take with a pinch of salt in case I recalled wrong.
I think in the review, and I could be remembering wrong, but it said that the ml actually recognized mc and was a spy for mc mom just like mc american friend. It also mentioned how ml purposefully messed up mc name. Like it was more of a mindfuck than anything.

I honestly don't know. Yes the ML was hired by the mc's mother to spy on her son. But what the failed to say is that the ML was an orphan who was provided for by the mc's mom. She was his benefactor. She even helped to place him in a good foster home with loving guardians. So when she approved him to help tutor and spy on her son, he basically couldn't say no to her after everything she has done for him. He never did it for the money. He did it in a form of gratitude. ML actually thought the MC was a spoiled brat before meeting him cause his mom is so rich but when he interacted with the mc and say that he was a good kid, he felt extremely guilty for what he did. Everytime he acted nice or friendly with the mc was because he genuinely liked him
This has a spoiler in the reviews i think and apparently it goes deeper than I thought. Ml is a bit of a red flag I think based on what was said and the novel didn't do justice with everything. But those aren't my opinions. I'm hoping the manwha is different than the nivel..at least in fleshing things out.
