I can finally figure ML out now, he is repeating his mother's crazy traits, reading something and blending in with the character until he loses himself in it, hating the real life so much they both needed an escape and turning into a fictional character was the solution for them both, but the mother had a problem, her husband wouldn't play his part so she ended herself after losing him. ML abducted the writer of the character he chose to blend with so he could ensure the happy ending for them both. This guy needs some therapy...
