And my biggest dislike about this story is the overused trope of ML, has it all. He’s got the looks, good parents or at least family that loves him, popular/smart/athletic without even trying ; like slacks off but still gets into a good college, everyone wants them, etc.. All the while the MC has the most miserable existence ever. Orphan or family that treats them like absolute garbage, debt up the ass , busts his ass at several jobs as well as studying to get a scholarship, or is just a “dummy”, little to no friends, no love prospects or being used by someone. I hate that imbalance. Who, realistically won’t develop some kind of complex that will eventually hurt the relationship, when one person is in the gutter while the other sits on the throne..bc it’s sooo romantic that the guy who has it all obsesses over the poor bum who has nothing, it I just doesn’t work for me.
