I feel like the author tried to portray a self-destructive mc but swerved and went the safer way. In the earlier chapters, he has misconceptions and very pessimistic, he stays with a "friend" that obviously won't do him any good, tolerates abuses and harassment, he fights back but also isn't decisive enough to do something to stop it completely. And really, when he heard his sexual harasser boss got into an accident, he went out of his way to contact his family showing even more concern than the other employees? That really bugged me, I hope it really wasn't meant to portray as a good trait (seme said it was cute lol). As someone said, compassion for your enemy is cruelty to yourself.
Its all a consequence of the accident but also a product of self-indulged toxic environment, but when he was finally free from that toxic environment, even more drama ensues. This kinda make it seem like the "abused mc" plot was just used without much care into the topic itself.
