I understand this stance but it doesn't really fit their case much. Mostly because:
1. MC wasn't in love with ML at the beginning. Definitely a huge fan, but who wouldn't be a fan of someone who helped you while vulnerable?
2. ML is also technically a fan of MC lmfao
3. MC didn't hide his knowledge of who ML was nor approach him under false pretenses or with any intentions at all. Feels unfair to lump him in with the lot that you are cause he had absolutely no motive and just got swept up by ML. Poor guy is just emotionally constipated and timid, I think he'd struggle to admit they'd met before even if he wanted to.

I didnt even finish the first chapter. But I dont think I like the fan falling in love with their stan. Like. It's okay but everytime I read this. My pstd is kicking. He is still a stranger at the end of the day that too much effort to know about that person until they are obsessed. I get where the author is going but. Its creepy. No its different if it was yandere. No lie. We need more of those. I am starving.
