Okay so I reread it after like 6 years from when I first read it and oml have my tastes changed. At the time I first read this I was considerably younger and was just going along with the plot of the story not thinking much of it but now I can clearly see what's wrong about it and what's right. I can see that the author tried to portray a victim going back to an abuser time and time again in an almost Stockholm syndrome type of way and the mentality behind it, but it just wasn't executed correctly. It was really exaggerated in the regards of "Oh, mc actually loved him the whole time " even after the horrible abuse and mc CLEARLY NOT loving him they still try to play that up. In my opinion it was pointless, they didn't have to write it like that and instead could've done better at showing the "rotting" mentality of mc and the abuser. How entagled they become and in there own world in a sense, but they just...don't do that...I also have my issues with underplaying the abusers reasoning for all he does to mc they did the whole "Oh he's a psychopath so he just doesn't understand love properly
