Ikr, all the reasons were pure bullshit and doesn't even come remotely close to a "misunderstanding".
Like what excuse would you even have for letting your "friends" call your "beloved" partner a slut and a bootycall in his face. Ignore his injuries and plight and treat him like a fucking doormat for years-- because he's S H Y . Like, be for fucking real.
And because there IS NO real explanation for him being just a shit human being, his redemption was saving damsel in distress MC bajillion times like damn doesn't this mf MC learn to not get kidnapped and drugged at this point? ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I'm just waiting for this to end to see the conclusion, but it's definitely just dragged out without any purpose or actual plot.
What i dislike about these kind of stories is how the author is trying to convince us ML loved the MC from the start and that he cant live without MC. But the author has no argument so instead we just had the uke constantly being attacked/kidnapped then saved by seme and seme getting hurt too.
So seme treated uke like thrash from start to end. It wasnt miscommunication or misunderstanding, it was the truth. But then we say "oh he just didnt realize his feelings" and proceeds with a ton of BS to "redeem" him.
The story doesnt even try to make sense and yet its so long, thats crazy.
