this is so interesting to me bec you can tell the author isn’t sugar coating the love interest’s chilling/psychopathic nature, he clearly has empathy issues and struggles to feel/relate to others, his obsession with luce is also not romanticised which just makes it so much better when we see the male lead actually feel and act romantic around luce (like when he destroyed his hand and then tenderly moves his hair out of his eyes when he’s asleep, the contrast!!) , it’s so messed up !!! i think he genuinely is in love with luce but that love has long since turned into an obsession, with his detached and unfeeling personality, his lethal intelligence and lack of care for what luce himself is feeling as well as how financially and socially powerful he is, i think the male lead makes for a great villain and love interest at the same time! i can’t really see where the plot is going to go but hope to see more of the male lead be messed up and clever and also would be cool to see luce eventually outsmart him
