Dropped at chapter 6. I'm so disappointed bro, I loved the mc and the setup of the plot but the ML is a peice of shit and I'm tired of reading stories where the mc gets abused/raped and then the ML has a half-assed redemption and they get together anyway. Why do authors have to ruin their own stories with this bullshit 24/7? ML doesn't even have anything about him that's interesting to begin with. Bro spends his days getting shit-faced alone at a club and then harassing the female employees. What possesses authors to make such extremely unattractive people their main love interest? If I'm reading a romance I want my heart to flutter for the love interest too, not activate my gag reflex every time they're on screen dammit.

There are a million ways you could write interesting toxic/manipulative characters without including rape too.
