I'm going to admit something: This story doesn't bother me because it is toxic, it bothers me because it is toxic AND the MC is just an innocent cutie pie. I have mulled over why some toxic stories do not bother me and I think that if both parties are kinda mental, it makes it okay...obviously in fantasy and not reality....but even in fantasy I cannot stand a toxic ML and an MC who can never and would never adapt to the toxicity. The example that I think of first when I imagine a toxic relationship that I ship is from the tv series Hannibal, I just shipped Hannibal X Will so hard and that shit was beyond toxic. If you know you definitely get what I mean.
This story just makes me so sad for MC...if he never met ML, he would've led a completely normal happy life
