they may flame me for this but I kinda agree with you like the MC was getting his ass beat by thugs everyday, his POS father was no help at all and he wasn’t able to go to school….The ML solved all of his problems, like the made up scholarship is essentially financial aid and ngl he can’t afford to live without the ML. He’ll go back to being poor, chased by thugs, getting his ass beat, and not attending school but at least he’ll have his pride

Hot take but I dislike principled bottoms. I love the shameless ones that wouldn’t care if their school tuition was covered in full by the ML. Ok, the money isn’t clean bc you’re paying for it with your body but living in poverty and stress was also killing you. Sigh. Just be okay with having a sponsor who gets rid of your turd father, because the other option was stretching yourself thin to the point of death.
