I don’t quite understand why people are saying a redemption arc of him begging or grovelling will suffice? The author couldn’t dream up a plausible reason for them to enter a normal relationship with love if they tried. The ML is a psychopath with no empathy and the MC has zero self worth. Neither of them are capable of being in love with anyone else let alone each other. You can’t love anyone if you don’t love yourself and you can’t love others if you lack the ability to empathise with them. I don’t understand how author forgot these basic things when writing the characters. Dan is fine and as a character he can grow and find self worth and courage. But the ML is simply an irredeemable maniac.
The psychological damage alone wouldn’t even allow for a relationship on any level whatsoever.
And obviously the author was so high of drawing the abusive porn they forgot that they wrote the ML into a corner and now lazily just copying and pasting the same dynamics from BJ Alex when characters had to change to progress the relationship.
The toxicity is not whats shocking or even a problem it’s just the sheer arrogance of writing such a crap plot, with crap characters. I dunno man i feel like author-nim needs to be humbled it shouldn’t be acceptable to shill out gold plated crap.
