An arrogant rapist who treats everyone else around him like crap.
He had two people on his side when he was younger, the coach and his coach's mum, so he wasn't all alone and that's not why he turned out worse than Dan. He has every right to be angry and upset about his childhood. Nothing gives him the right to take that out on the people in his life.
The difference between someone redeemable acting traumatised and someone who is a lost cause is genuine remorse, their willingness to apologise and right their wrongs, and their resolve to never repeat their mistakes.
JK han't done any of that. He's still only ever thinking about himself. And that's why he's one of the worse toxic semes I've seen.

It's one thing being genuinely naive and falling for a bad guy (which is already boring and frustrating enough).
But it's quite another to know you're dealing with an a-hole and then choose to ignore all of his red flag signs (and then cry about it afterwards).
Why do these authors keeping making these characters with personalities at the start and then turning them into annoying pushovers? Ugh...

RIP Luce's happiness. Don't think his friend is going to make it out alive either .

Spoilers.

Next Chapter Summary:
The Crown Prince casually dismisses Luce’s friend after a few sharp, mocking remarks about them “having a good time.” The friend takes the hint and leaves. Once they’re gone, the Crown Prince turns his attention to Luce, taunting him with snide comments. He grabs Luce’s injured hand and presses into the wound until fresh blood runs—his way of issuing a clear warning: don’t test me again.
Following Chapters:
During a royal hunt, Luce accompanies the Crown Prince along with several other nobles. The Prince shows off his impressive marksmanship. Meanwhile, Luce’s friend unexpectedly shows up nearby. From a distance, he spots Luce and starts waving and goofing around, trying to make him laugh. Luce sees him and giggles.
Then, without hesitation, the Crown Prince fires an arrow. It grazes the friend’s ear, leaving it bloodied. The scene erupts into a minor scandal—officially labeled an “accident,” but the strike was deliberate, calculated. A warning in disguise.
Unoriginal dialogue. Bland characters. Predictable plot.
And we're only four chapters in so far.
