i feel like you guys r not giving author enough credit for writing a redemption arc for an asshole character, like ima be the first to say i fucking hatee alpha lowkey prefer omega (hes also horrible for what he did) but again i feel like the author is doing such a good job at showing that pitiful self-blame and guilt as "karma" for what he did, and even him acknowledging it, much better than most bls that have an asshole ml. like i bet half of yall read painter of the night and probably ended up liking the ml/couple at the end so is there rlly much of a difference? again, fucking hate alpha and am so glad hes suffering like this and realizing his wrongs, but thats like the whole point- that the author is setting up a good redemption IF they do end up together (i REALLY HOPE THEY DONT i want the mc to be off on his own but thats obviously not gonna happen). i guess i just felt like everyone was putting him in the 100% bad evil black area when i see him as a bit more gray with room for growth and forgiveness considering how hes reacting rn
