The reason why I actually liked this as much as I did was the bit of accountability. Taeju actually owning up to how fucked up he treated ML and how fucked up he is in general and how that disfunction was ruining ML’s life but not only that, actually removing himself from ML’s life (or at least trying to) in a lot of stories the asshole apologized if they even at all and everything is perfect and all sins are forgiven which isn’t how accountability works but then again that varies from person to person. Many stories put the ML through hell and give a less than half assed resolution under justification that “they’re just so in love” but I think this was one of the *better* ones. It would have been nice to see ML could have moved away and built a life before meeting later, having a kid and getting married. I wish there was also more discussion about Taeju forcing himself on ML how that affected him and ML drugging him in the later chapters but oh well.
