It's one thing to force money onto someone who doesn't want it (which is still a violation of consent), but breaking his dad's leg and throwing him into an asylum and then locking up Yeomin and making those threats... man, there's been some pretty toxic ml's recently, but this is just plain psycho criminal behavior.
I struggle to place this story in a genre, because on the one hand, we had some pretty funny scenes, like the ml saying that Yeomin was possessed by the protestant work ethic, so the story seemed lighthearted at times. but then there were some dark signs, like the ml threatening the loan shark about his young child, or him enjoying how "easy" Yeomin was. but those things could have been glossed over with an epic "falling hard" arc from the ml.
sadly, the story truly took a very dark turn recently and I can't see any plausible way out of this mess where they can end up together in a satisfying way for the readers. like what would that even look like? the ml would have to lose all his privilege, maybe even go to jail and realize how unhinged he is, go to therapy, do volunteer work, hell even donate his kidney, I dunno. I am truly baffled, I'll definitely keep reading to see where it goes (and to see cutie Yeomin finally escape and make a life for himself somewhere). however I don't predict I'm going to be happy with the ending, same as with Jinx and other stories.
why do authors do this bruh???? is there like a sick enjoyment for them to make readers hate the ml? are they trying to prove some weird point? I just don't get it
