i just don’t find the “persistent ML” trope charming AT ALL! it’s vile how these stories basically groom women and girls into thinking that it’s romantic and desirable for men to be grade 5 clingers who don’t give their partners any room to grow.
like, this man has been manipulating FL since the beginning of the manhwa and just when i thought her america arc would show both leads growing up and coming to terms with their past on their OWN, SINGLE terms, this nonsense is what i’m hit with?!
