My opinion on this

Okay, I don’t know if it’s just me but some of these comments bother me. I’m not saying you have to like this, it’s definitely made for people who enjoy these types of stories. I’m more intrigued with both characters and interested in seeing in what direction it will go.

I don’t find the ML ugly, but he isn’t that good looking either; especially in certain panels. I do like his appearance though, as I feel like it portrays his character well. It’s not every day you see an author that step out of the traditional way of drawing ML like him. As usually when it comes to red/black flag ML their looks are very important, as most people are willing to forgive a character that is conveniently attractive. I know not everyone does, but it’s a good majority.

The thing that bother's me is that the comments would be very different if he was designed differently. Not saying you have to find him attractive, but the hypocrisy I’m seeing makes me laugh. Like he is terrible don’t get me wrong, but there have been ML’s that are just as bad or even worse than what he is done so far. Yet, people are saying that he is the worst ML that they have ever seen? I have seen a some more mainstream BL that have that the ML is just as bad and some of y'all eat them up. You can excuse rape and murder, but draw the line at killing a kid? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ like at least people who think more logically, be it they like it or not knows he sucks for everything he is doing.

I know not everyone thinks like this, but I have seen this more and more and it’s been bothering me just because the ML isn’t traditionally handsome. Btw sorry for my bad English -

    Pretty privilege. And it sucks. Reminds me of criminals getting away with murders or being idolized instead for their looks

    could not agree more! The ML’s appearance is a breath of fresh air for me.

    It's the sneakiness this guy exhibits that repulses me. My repulsion has no bearing on my liking the story, I rather enjoy messed up sht.

    There's something extra sickening about violating a person without their knowledge to the point you're robbing them of the ability to react to it. It's unfathomably cruel and proof of selfish and obsessive desire in its purest form. The ML has zero respect or care towards the MC. Like, none.

    The author is definitely not pulling punches with this guy and I'm very curious to see where this goes. I personally will never ship this. He could be traditionally beautiful and I'll feel the same.
