See authors, it's really easy to write a piece of shit seme that's arrogant and toxic, yet still at his core, a likeable character who you want to see redeemed and enjoy reading when they get their comeuppance.
There are so many authors who want to write uke torture porn that they don't think of the kind of character they've moulded their semes into, such that any redemption arc that doesn't involve them being completely broken down and deconstructed as a human being for like a 100 chapters feels unsatisfying.
Characters like Yeonghan and Taejoo from Low Tide in the Twilight are absolutely awful to their respective partners (Taejoo obviously far more so), but the authors cared enough to properly characterize them such that you can see even early on that they possess true potential to grow as characters in ways that most semes are never properly characterized as.
Yes, this is me hating on Jinx in another comment section and y'all can't stop me lmao.
