He was way too kind that he was a pushover. That author called him anytime in the name of work and he never set boundaries before. From the outside he seems like the "ideal soft boyfriend" but he was more of a pushover who seriously needed to have boundaries. If the fl saw how the author treated him and he let her, they wouldve broken up a long time ago. Also, even if the gender was reversed he still wouldve been a pushover. The change did help him realise where he has been wrong
Are you having some cheating fantasy while reading this or something? Yes she compared him to the ex but again the ex was her type and the current one is the one she chose for her mental health. She clearly has good boundaries not to go back to her ex unlike you are thinking by reading other shitty stories. You wouldnt ever guess how many ppl who like those toxic traits have a healthy personality bf would desire for a roleplay like the toxic one atleast. Coz its a fantasy, not a reality. Just because she is attracted to that toxic trait doesnt mean she will act on it unlike you are saying. Not sure if you are even reading the whole story properly

This is always a problem in relationship, people can't be satisfied on what they have. The boyfriend was so gentle and greenflag in the first few chapters but FL wasn't satisfied because he wasn't rough in bed?? Imagine if they have reverse gender, you have a good, beautiful and girlfriend who takes care of you but you're unsatisfied because she isn't someone who's wild at bed, constantly comparing your past relationship where you were treated like a shit to a relationship who treated you like a queen even if the guy is busy at his work, he still does everything for you because he has life and he is a good person Inside, yeah I don't like this
