I get how people hate this truly i do. As a victim of something to what the ML went through (of course never went and killed someone) it really messes with your head. Your idea of self, concept of love skewed from people who are supposed to help nurture you, all of it really does turn you into a completely different person. It reminds me of Niichan by Harada where they're shit people but you see how later in their life no matter how old they get how it still affects you. Its a ugly but sad thing that happens to many people. I was actually triggered but tbh I preferred how explicit it is cuz it shows how something that starts off so abnormal can become something you normalize and seek out or become used to when pretty words and words of affirmation are peppered in. I think it truly would have been shit had author let him live his life with no repercussions. But truly karma came for him as well as him coming to the conclusion himself how wrong he is and needs to repent for his actions. As for the dad I would've wanted him to suffer but that also is reality these perpetrators get away with it but its quite obvious it eats away at him mentally they only way he can say he's innocent is to push the blame on his son for his actions denying he was the catalyst. So I know it left a bad taste in people's mouth but it really is like that sometimes.
