If he left her alone, that doesn't mean he couldn't still protect her or that she would end up dead. But that would probably take away from the excuses most people use to bash the victim if they took that into consideration. He's 'protecting' himself, no one else. Protection means the one protecting gives up something not the one being protected. Any other kind of protection is just abuse. Obviously. It is unfortunate to note however that this position makes it clear that FLs are d@mned if they do and d@mned if they don't, that people will indeed blame the FLs when they fall in love with their abuser AND when they won't. Weird huh.
I came to find this after I found a comment on some other story, I literally just laughed at the comment for a few minutes and wanted to see the story about a girl who's fiance fell for her liver. (In the other story, mc fell for the boyfriend's face).
I like the guy, and her reaction is understandable, but I just can't get into it. I read to CH 4 and skipped to CH 22, then read the spoilers in the comments. Maybe because it's shoujo and an old series at that.
One thing I will say is that I understand why the fl is getting bashed. As someone who read twilight back in the day and loved it, I'm aware how problematic that story was and her reaction while very real is kinda frustrating, especially when we get to know that the reason they even got together was because he like her liver - and decided to protect her from other Kumihos that want to kill her and eat her liver. If he'd left her alone, she would be dead. He also genuinely loves her now, so you want the development to happen quickly an have her love him too. It's obviously the end game, but I'm not ready to read the whole story for it.
