Oh no I definitely am not excusing that everything to that point is shitty and he definitely deserves revenge but I dont think the seme WANTS revenge. It’s feels very similar to exotic love and the way the seme just goes along with everything blinded by affection.
If the seme wanted revenge I’d be on his side like yes manipulate the little shit but if he’s genuinely trying in this relationship that, at this point, doesn’t even feel manipulative coz hes outright being told to leave, then the mc is not to be blamed over how pathetically this relationship is going
I don’t know if I got my point across coz my english isn’t that good :/
I know people hate the ml but like he clearly tried to break things off it’s not like he gave him mixed signals from the beginning it’s the seme that keeps coming back so toxic as it may be I dont think the ml is the villain here
