As someone with ASPD, I absolutely love the representation!! The author conveys the ML as someone with a disability, rather than a lunatic. There's constantly negative stipulations around ASPD and the people with it. I've been told numerous times that I'm a horrible human for simply not having "enough empathy." (Even though that's just the surface of ASPD.) Everyone is different, ASPD is a spectrum, but the disorder itself isn't the problem. I have emotions, desires, interests and other "social normative behaviors," but I still have the disorder. I'm a human being. That why I love this series so much! The ML is human, not a "monster."
