Imma be fr, I think the best ending is everyone going their separate ways and finding happiness individually, whether that be by being single or with someone entirely new.
Cause ngl, I truly believe it’s the mc/bottoms effect where all is forgiven and ppl will want the MC and ML to end up together in the end. I KNOW ppl would never forgive or at least never want the two mains together had it been a top/ML that cheated with the reasoning being his trauma/insecurities. The first time MC did it could be due to trauma/insecurities, sure give him a free pass. The multiple times after that could be due to manipulation/blackmail on the ex’s part but we forget the reason why it even worked: because the ex was gonna tell the ML that MC cheated on him. And MC didn’t want ML to find out, and that’s why MC continued to cooperate and sleep with him. Rather than telling the truth after that one “mistake” he valued the lie to protect his relationship. - I know ppl are gonna come at me because their reasons are MC is realistic and that this is how a true victim of an abusive relationship is. I get that. Hopefully he can heal and improve and reaches true happiness when he’s mentally well. But what I don’t like is when he gets forgiven and gets back together with the same person he cheated on and hurt. He is also the source of another’s pain and potential trauma. Authors have the same thoughts when it comes to MC/bottoms doing something bad and still getting their happy lily ever after with the ML. Because what is this teaching anyone? Showing a realistic abusive relationship and victim can cause them to hurt others, but even when the other party is hurt, they still should be together? There is not much different in the initial action between ex hurts MC, and MC hurts ML. Yet one gets forgiven anyways.
This unfortunately is not the first time bottom mc cheats and the ML will forgive him and get back together with him. And maybe someone will be like: “you don’t know if they’ll end up together yet-!” It’s a good guess based off that cover change and the build up. My wishful thinking is that everyone ends up happy separately.
