Fr, I never liked the bls that you mentioned, lister is literally them but is written more logically imo, he doesn't change nor apologizes, these types of people never do because they are mentally insane.
literally like the redemption arc in low tide in twilight was so awful i was not falling for it
yup - its sad how the plot of most bls just revolves around the mc 'fixing' these fuckasses
REAL tbf there wasn't even a redemption arc. taeju never goes through even a fraction of what the mc goes through. all he does is cry for a few chapters and has a sudden shift in personality, and people eat it up like its the greatest character development of all time.
no, literally! if lister was the ml people would just stick with the story waiting for his redemption! but since he is not, they hate him
yk whats funny? lister is literally almost identical to the male leads in some of the most popular bls: jinx, low tide in twilight, that recent pearl boy fuckass etc etc. even if lister turns nice, if the mc here ends up with him we'd call it stockholm syndrome, but in those other stories since the mls get 'redemption', everybody's suddenly okay with it. insane.
