No redemption arc can fix him
I'm so tired of these yaoi authors romanticising rape
And people who genuinely like these stories r weird unless ur able to actually realise that these male leads suck and should be dead or in jail away from society and don't deserve any happiness
I don't want to start a fight, but people should really stop getting upset over obviously crappy male leads. Just like some enjoy reading splatter-manwhas, others enjoy manwhas about romanticized dirtbags. Of course, a real-life version of him belongs in jail and the uke should run like hell, but this isn't real life. Every normal person knows the difference, and those who can't and are actually influenced by it need the kind of help that only a Psychologists can give. It's just like the whole gaming leads to violence crap. It's just a messed-up "romance" story that you mainly enjoy for the beautiful artwork, not because the story is super exciting or interesting e.e.
It's so amazing seeing namwoo who selflessly loves hajin compared to that friend who was just obsessed, it really puts into perspective that obsession isn't love and love isn't selfish but obsession is selfish , dude literally raped him for his own desires while he was an authorities figure and dares to call it love
