It’s a difficult one alright, I don’t believe the dragon is a bad person, but as confirmed in this weeks chapter he was suffering from his slow decay and took out his anger/fear out on Ha-on. I mean, despite the rape the dragon does take care of him, making a bath for him after sex and feeding him these berries is supposed to heal the marks of sex.
And the regret is obvious on him in present times
as much as i would have appreciated not having the non con / dub con (sorry idk the exact term that'd apply here) part of the past , i do think that since the ml is essentially not human, so we can't apply human standards to him? this isn't me trying to justify what he did in anyway nor I am trying to say anything bad about the story because its def intriguing to read and too soon to judge the characters and the plot and I want to see how everything plays out. I do believe that there are other ways a creator can show such characters without adding the forced parts but this is just me trying to see what other reader's opinions are because at present the character development/personality difference is very stark Indeed.
