Personally, I love irredeemable trash that STAYS trash. To me, this type of garbage is much better than forcing redemption arcs and sob stories on piece of shit characters. You cannot pay me enough to gaf about an abusive ML's tragic background. Toxic demented "love" won through Stockholm syndrome where I don't feel bad for either party, though? Yeah I can accept that.
Toxic x toxic. Codependency. Maybe a dash of Stockholm syndrome and yanderism? NOT abuser x victim. I want to read that shit and think "oh these assholes deserve each other".

I love school life settings because I can attribute stupidity to the characters being literal children. Yes, go ahead and be immature and childish and dumb, I will still love you ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~ .
Had they been grown ass men, though... They'd better be prepared to be sent to the guillotine. Immaturity is not cute on men with hairy ass balls.
