There really are too many unsatisfactory MLs around

Which is why this one seems so amazing in comparison. He has so so many good traits and moments, but I'm not loving him so far. I wish he'd properly showed appreciation for how she humilated herself to save him from the being accused of treason. I wish he wouldn't demand she tells him everything but not once (up to the chapter 28) tells her that he actually likes and cares about her for herself. There have been other moments I can't remember right now where I've already felt a bit uncomfortable and bitter about his behaviour. Because she's an extremely traumatised, inexperienced and insecure female lead and a lot of this might be fine for a mentally healthy and confident MC in a position of equality but is a bit worrying for her.

I totally acknowledge how many ways he's really good and trying really hard to figure out how to make the best choices in a complicated situation, I really do. I just still often feel uncomfortable with his behaviour.

Anyway, I know a lot of people love him and that's fine, please carry on enjoying him!
