I agree! I don’t think the author destroy his character cause he was always quite harsh since the beginning. 2nd ml believed the rumors and thought the worst of her and wouldn’t even work with mc in class b/c of her past, and even made her do most of the work(while ghosting her) to the point she didn’t mind failing the class. And he continued to keep his friend around who kept trash talking about her for so long. Who in their right mind would like them after all this??
Makes me laugh when people think the ML is bland when the 2nd ML was blandest of all. The typical nonchalant cold guy. He was pushy, judgmental and very heavy handed with her that when he grab her she freak out really badly, she had punch him because he wouldn't let go after she told to multiple times. Then on the date he reminded of that horrible professor. It was obvious with some hints he wasn't the ml and Baram never took interest with him. They had no dynamic what so ever. The biggest icky thing from him was when he told her kindest is what leads others on and she shouldn't be kind, this happen in early S2. So no it wasn't a sudden change he always been like that. Image hating the ML who's emotional intelligent and never cross Baram boundaries and always gave her space. I'm starting to believe deep down yall normalize toxicity as "interesting" with all red flags ML that's been releasing the recent years.
