To be fair the ML did mess with his memories and with that void of absence without knowing his family, his job, his life probably made it easier for that bitch to manipulate him. Poor MC was broken in for 4 years straight, I dont blame his mental nobody sane could survive that without mistaking his feelings for love
huh, if you look it that way, it makes sense. although chances of the story acknowledging it as canon would be almost zero. this is love for ya!
ok im still on ch. 8, and based on the comments, there's a twist of how ml partially erased mc's memory(?). unsure but it makes much more sense of why the love came suddenly with the ml's manipulation
holy shit, imagine trying to understand your rapist why it's that way and then falling in love with it. that's stockholm syndrome for ya.
it's quite apparent that the mc is completely aware of how shitty the ml is, how he struggled against it, and even tried to kill it, but trying to love it is a whole new case of insanity
