I wish these types of manhwas had better mls. I thought the ml would go from cold to kind after he started falling in love with the mc, but instead he imprisons the mc, rapes him, and marries his sister. He really treats him as less than human. I loved the mc so much, sadly I have to drop it.

Literally, most Korean manhwas follow the same formula. It’s always the poor, helpless, kind, and innocent mc who is either in debt, or is called a bastard child, or is treated as less than human that catches the ceo/emperor/gangster ml’s eye, and then the mc gets taken advantage of by the heartless ml, who later rapes him, treats him like a whore or toy, and then suddenly becomes nice at the end. By that point, the mc has suffered a lot and lost his inherent kindness.

It’s hard to even find a good redemption arc in these manhwas. The ml always gets forgiven so quickly. I’m so tired of these manhwas. I wish there were manhwas like this where the ml treats the mc kindly from the start.
Like, I would love a manhwa where the ml considers using the mc to achieve his goals but later abandons that idea because he falls for the mc so deeply that he would even give up his life for the mc. But It's hard to find a manhwa like that...
