allergic to complex characters emotions and relationships
also i dont think leewon has stockholm syndrome neither is he a victim of manipulation he is grown and experienced and knows whats best for him
he's not weak or susceptible to manipulation and we've seen that multiple times throughout the series
it's not like he hasn't considered leaving before and if he really wanted to he wouldve but i really do think he loves caesar
Sure lets say that Leewon in fact isnt being manipulated or has stockholm syndrome for a second, but he really does not have a choice when it comes to their relationship and if he can leave or not, Caesar has proven multiple times, even in this chapter, that if Leewon leaves, or Leewon “threatens” to leave he’s going to be punished. Yes i will agree Leewon is definitely a lot stronger of an MC when hes compared to a lot of of BL protagonists in this same scenario, but at the end of the day he has no choice and he chooses to let Caesar dictate what is allowed and what isnt, that is manipulation and he is being manipulated. Now you can say this is because he loves him that he lets him do this or he feels pity for him is exactly what makes him even more manipulated, because in a regular persons mind these things wouldn’t be something to feel sorry for it would be the opposite and he would be disgusted / traumatized
This pmo sooo bad idk why im reading this like every time caesar do something bad leewon be defending him “b-but no ones ever loved him before thats why he acts like this” does it look like i gaf this is just pure stockholm syndrome and dv. At the very least you’d expect caesar to have some development after this long because ikkkk this author loves doing that but surprisingly he has stayed a piece of shit through and through good on him for never letting the world change him
