Ok to add on, instead of bringing out new sides of mc, all ML did fmwas to bring out the more fragile, reliant and dull ver of mc instead of helping him overcome his trauma. Before mc had a variety of emotions (mostly annoyance and fear of ML) but now all he thinks abt is to be a good mate for ML and keeps flashing back to his trauma.
Theres also a scene where mc talks abt how after he gave up so much in his life for ML, ML still doesn’t trust him and how upsetting and frustrating he feels (he gave up his freedom to someone he doesn’t rlly and that someone is also his rapist). It was actually so sad because mc deserves so much better. He doesnt fool around with omegas and he cares, and his caring nature and his trauma is what ML used to bind mc to his side. Its just so sad overall
In ch 10, during one of the alpha mc’s most vulnerable moments where he needed reassurance and comfort from the ML, ml decided he wants to manipulate mc harder by telling mc that he is the only one who can comfort him so mc can be more reliant on the ml. Not to mention the only reason mc got together with the ml is because mc was lonely and was SAed during his heat and forced to permanently mark ML. It feels like none of them truly loved each other since mc is only reliant on ML since ML kinda love bombed and provided care for mc (and raped him and made him mark ML) and ML only liked mc because mc was the only one who stood up for ML and only saw mc as a possession which is kinda fucked.
Around ch 5 or 6 (?) where they confirmed their dating statuss, ML goes: I cant believe I finally have you. He kinda says it just like how a child would say about a toy or candy they had their eye on would say. The reason I see it that way is because ML didnt actually fully chase mc and did not try to reach out to mc when they grew apart. Like if u rlly like this person even if u don’t interact with them u still will admire them from afar like a stalker or somth but ML does none of that. Istg if Ml didn’t coincidentally met mc he would have fallen for someone else. Not to mention the rape.
Also on ch 2 or 3(?) i couldnt remember the translator notes are so creepy. They kept talking about wow I wish this omega will dick down this alpha, how they cannot wait to see him violated and fucked and its just so creepy since the only crime mc did was being a pretty fuck boy who has a lot of sex buddies. He isnt sexist or a playboy who plays around with feelings. Idk but its just so creepy to me
