FRRRRRR like this just made me angry （￣へ￣）
I get that in dramatic soapy stories there is either the creepy false nice guy or very hateful psycho antagonists that have the function to make the toxic ML look good and more heroic for the MC and the audience.
But why does the great perfect endearing Second Lead appears at all when at the end the stupid MC only choose the ML who is usually the cause of their sufferings???
For god sake; you have cleary a better healthier option but still decide for the trash bag full of shit!!! Are you kidding me?!

The Bad Boy Trope, Explained
Rich priveledged powerful tsundere Alphahole treats his love interests like shit and gets rewarded for being an ass.
MC/Uke/FL is so powerless, inferior or so weak against the bully ML no matter how strong, smart or talented he is.
There is obvious a better good man for the victimized MC - the Second ML who suffers under the Second Lead Syndrome. That catch never gets the love :(
So what's the point of all this? Why? Does the author has masochistic toxic tendencies???
