People do not easily change

While it could be easy for some to commit to their convictions overnight, others find it hard to do so. That's why most New Year's resolutions fail. Thus, it would be a forced character development on JK if he suddenly treats KD better wihout a trigger incident that would help JK realize that being a jerk is not the answer to helping him achieve what he wants.

I am not defending JK because I like him. What I'm saying is that I understand his actions. I do not have to like him to understand his actions. I understand why the author wants him to be written this way.

I mean, if ALL YOUR LIFE, all you ever knew to get what you want is to be an asshole, why would you change tactics? It wouldn't make sense because it used to work all the time before. Of course JK is not yet groveling on his hands and knees because he wants KD back for his own benefit. He still has selfish reasons.

For him to start groveling, he must start to do it for selfless reasons. He does not understand KD's actions because he still thinks he did not do anything wrong. He has no reason to grovel. He does not want to make it up for his past actions yet because he's not just an asshole. He's a dumb asshole. Take pity on his remaining braincell and let him figure out that not only does he want KD, but that KD deserves every good thing in the world. Let JK figure out that is is not on par with all that good things KD deserves, which COULD START WITH JK REALIZING HE LIKES KD AND NOT JUST SEX WITH KD.

Please. I'm treating these past few chapters as a prologue to the groveling section. The appretizer. So just enjoy the show. The only other thing getting older than this "reused BJ Alex plot" (which is actually a pretty standard jerk top to whipped lover trope e.g. 'You Get Me Going', 'Ghost's Nocturne', 'POTN', 'Taming the Tiger') is the train of hate comments containing the disappointment that JK is not yet scraping the floor with his knees. You do realize that once he starts groveling, that is the start of the end, yeah?

    well said way too many people are expecting him to suddenly be a good person as if it’s realistic for an asshole to stop being an asshole without something happening.

    I just read your comment and wanted to paste what I wrote :)

    I've been saying I hate him but I just really want Dan to fight for what he deserves and to have it.

    I know that's just the way this kind of stories goes, still I think is important to both like and criticize it, cause I know that when I read BJ Alex years ago I was romanticizing it.

    It seems to me that nowadays we read everything with a more objective attitude and I'm grateful for this

    Well, the same "people don't easily change" applies to KD, too. If all he knew his entire life is to be treated badly with only Granny truly caring for him, how would he know what he actually deserves? Right now, KD's actions are for what he wants, not for what he THINKS he deserve.

    yeah I absolutely agree, what I'm hoping is that I hope that the author is able to make Dan capable of reaching such a conclusion, idk if it's clear what I mean.

    Like, it's fine that for now he is still rightly anchored to his past, but I hope that this "evolution" can happen and does not end up as always in a Red Cross syndrome character
