In real life Maya could never and should never actually be forgiven for the shit he pulled in the first 2 volumes but this is fiction and as you said the author grew as a person making this story redeemable. I love this story just not the 1st 2 volumes they don't exist in my mind lol. So I like 98% agree with you lol I don't think it's okay to forgive Maya personally but I can forgive the author y'know what I mean?
Guys, you also have to remember it’s not only Maya’s development as a character but the mangaka as well. She most likely realized her original plot was quite toxic. This series started several years ago back when “rape” or similar things were very common in BL manga. Since the mangaka grew as a person and honestly would change the way it originally started and I truly believe that it’s ok to forgive Maya as well. You can tell by how much love, emotion, communication and healthy relationships are present now in the story.
