Honestly im still very invested in this story. Despite the very rapey aspects of it and the whole 180 turn of the story, which im ngl is a very fun interesting plot line I've only seen done very few times(and even fewer that I've actually enjoyed enough to stick through them). However I do think it would be interesting to have had the ML's(blanking on the name) full perspective as I feel like if he were the mc it would be easier to "root" for him in a sense *Besides the rapey aspects*, since its your average bully-victim revenge trope but with some hidden nuance within it. I don't truly believe either of them are reliable narrators and despite their denial of feelings or obvious commitment/relationship issues, they still seem to obviously care for and connect with each other past a surface level. I really want the story to take yet another turn and explore those themes more, instead of the author going the lazy route and making the ML a "flat stereotypical yandere psycho" who just really hates the mc but ends up fucking him so much he gets this weird possessive attachment over him (its overdone, tacky, and overall unenjoyable), but instead give us a deeper look into his mind and his true feelings about the MC(Which I hope are actually there and not something im reading into). Still Interesting concept, nothing to confusing but still manages to be complex enough for me to actually be able to look past the psycho behavior and not immediately dog on the ML and the MC for taking it. Hopefully it develops the way I think it might, if not I'll probably be back with a Scathing review
