He forced him into this or he'd hurt him, he didn't give him the option to refuse. Also he purposely places negative status effects on him for a whim, not for his team. Saying this isn't toxic is delusional. I personally like it, since power play in stories can be fun when not extreme, but i still recognise that it's toxic.

To be fair it’s not bad because he didn’t take it too far…. Yet. So your in the clear I just have a feeling one day he will take it too far and that will tell us the ml’s character. If he doesn’t it anyway that’s the point of no return. That’s why I hate they have this kind of power. It just leaves room for regret.
I don’t see anything toxic about this. Yeah ML is an asshole but MC isnt a wimp either. Theyre not even into each other yet plus ML is using MC for his team no shit he aint gonna baby him. People are being a bit sensitive ngl…
