Wow, a lot to unpack here.
First of all, "the story treat it comedically"
It depend on how you see it, I guess but I don't see how it is treat comedically. Also, sexual aggressor that have changed for better. Better learn to accept that people do change for better but it doesn't mean you have to forgive them.
Secondly, tbh I think you should drop this if it triggered your memory too much and I'm sorry if I'm wrong but don't associate yourself as MC when you read stories, because not all MC are nice and flowers.
Lastly, you and the stalker, the feeling is not mutual. ML and MC, feeling is mutual. ML doesn't like MC being forceful and arrogant. Now MC have changed, maybe ML would watch MC like an eagle to make sure if MC going to continue to work with ML's mother or not.
Sorry but I'm fighting just to finish the third chapter, the mc is so unlikeable to me.
I get regretting stuff and I'm all for that but he was literally a sexual aggressor and the story just treats it comedically.
Ok it's bl so what was I expecting but it's usually not the mc-the person I'm supposed to root for- doing the detestable stuff.
But here he is, and to make matters worse now they're making the male lead look wishy washy by being sad once the mc STOPS sexually assaulting him like??? I've dealt with stalkers and let me tell you the RELIEF I've had when they stopped and left me alone was unparalleled, nobody is getting their panties in a twist cause the twat that was obsessed with them moved on.
