Disclaimer: this is a genuine question, I'm just frfr curious about others options
Like genuine question to everyone who dislikes the ML, the story line and still kept reading, why? I also do this, don't get me wrong, but I am aware of it and I know it's my personal guilty pleasure since I usually am still intrigued by the story, but some people genuinely hate how this is going so why bother?
Second question, why do you dislike these kind of stories yet keep reading them? + if you dislike it, are you aware that it's personal taste and not because the story has to be necessarily bad? (You are entitled to dislike things) Lots of ppl call it bad but personally I don't see why the story is bad, the characters action make sense, the plot is interesting, you can get emotionally invested, there's no weird pothole or ridiculous action. And by reading the comments it looks like ppl are calling the story bad because the ML is a red flag or they don't like the MC BC they don't like these kind of characters but then.. why are you reading this genre?
Personally I like these kind of stories because I like conflict, I like angst, revenge (everything that does not happen if the characters are flawless from the start) I want all these messy feelings and character development, and as long as the story doesn't get problematic (for example ML doing ) I even welcome red flags, so there is stuff at stake you get me? There would be no plot without it. That's the story.
If I wanted a wholesome immediately 'everything is cute and fluffy, green flag yay' then I would have read something different, not every story can be wholesome and easy. Yes he is an asshole but the pay off will be great, there's chance for character development even for FL, so I do not wish for her to get with the second ML.
PS: obviously my opinion will change if the MC is doing completely dumb things for example IF the ML would cheat on her and she would forgive him or smth like that, for example Operation True love was also great in the beginning but got really dumb imo. BC the development just got bombed and trashed. All the investment for nothing.
