I don't know the reason for others but here's mine - just coz a character doesn't force themselves on another doesn't auto make them likeable. That boy was one reddit rant away from being an odd mix of sadboi and incel, just make it specific to the uke instead of women, his attitude and reactions to the MC's contemplations (wc are mostly valid btw) were just not it. Retain his behavior and change his character design to a stereotypical dweeb and you'll quickly see what a creep the dude is.
I don’t hate him, but I can totally see where people are getting mad (￣∇￣") he’s kind of a stalker for a majority of the story and there were a few dubious consent moments in my opinion (even if it wasn’t out-right sex, would still be considered sexual harassment. He’s lucky MC had feelings lol).
MC knows everything & accepted it though :3 ML isn't as much as toxic like the other black flag MLs I know.... :3
True tho...But afterwords it got better as both of them are sure of their feelings.... & it became mutual!
nah, he accepted coz he didn't want to lose ML in his life since he practically said date him or he'll stop being his friend. That kind of mind game might not be as strong as the physical abuse that red/black flags ML do to their ukes, but it's just as bad. If he truly loved him, he would've been more conscious of his feelings and contemplations, assure him or even backing out if necessary to give him peace; but nah, gotta keep going with being a territorial creep instead and insist on what HE wants not what MC wants. This the kind of alpha bullshit MLs that only appeal to tweens fr.
Why's everyone hating the ML? Did he force MC on anything? Nope.... so why? LMAO PEOPLE
