MC has no brain (or spine) and ML has no heart. They’re not even entertainingly bad characters, just frustrating ones. I keep reading in hope MC finally snaps out of his delusions, but no, it keeps getting worse. He’s really willingly sleeping next to his grapeist because of a scary movie? It’s like the author heard someone say “I’ll never blame the victim” and took that as a challenge.
