Because you haven’t witnessed their interactions later on. He’s not only funny(in a sadistic, psycho kind of way) but he’s also very whipped(and later on very devoted) for Penelope.

Okay but that means I have every right to didlike him right? Right now, all he's really done is threaten and attempt to kill the FL. If he becomes likeable then good for him but at this point in the story, I can't see why anyone who hasn't read ahead would want him to be the MLヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

Tru tru. When i first read the novel, i disliked him too because of how he treated our bb penelope but dont worry, he's gonna have some character development hahahaha

sorry to be that person but can i get the link for the novel

I generally dislike him even in the novel but her options pool is really limited...

Every one of the MLs has been an ass to her at some point except Vinter and he can't accept for...reasons. I guess from her very narrow selection pool (brothers out coz they're family), eclipse's oopsie and vinter possibly walking off the face of the planet...

Some type of spoiler.

apparently Vinter betrays her in the future...doesn't trust her or something. Honestly Kallisto is the best option because he's seriously funny in the future and then whipped. He's just got trust issues as we can see from his family.Doesn't excuse his shitty behaviour now but he's the best option not because he's slightly better but simply because of major character development.

Definitely one of my perfect husband ML list!

Spoiler to spoiler!

I know he does that whole using her as bait/testing her to see if she was a spy bit but that wasn't exactly abuse? He has good reason to be sus too, MC suddenly shows lost magic powers out of nowhere, esp when magic children have been going missing. That and the brainwashed kids showing up just and MC advocating for them - either she's geniunely good or she's using pawns to gain his trust, he really couldn't tell at first.

He doesn't betray her per-se but I guess it's also true that while they might make good friends, they don't have too much chemistry. Even towards the end, I think he's mostly motivated by guilt - not a good foundation for any relationship.

Same, as of right now, he's still an asshole

I've been reading it to right to left and re-read it again becuz it confused me
