What kind of bad are we talking? I’m thinking of reading it, but I’ve experienced too many horrible male leads. Sexual assault? Cruel but she likes him anyways? Murderer?
well other then being a discompassionate douchebag leaving her for dead in the current chapter while she's drugged and incapacitated. its been pretty modest.
Skimmed it, and from what I’ve picked up, I’m gonna have to say that this is actually a hard one. You’ve gotta consider his position as a duke. Again, I only skimmed. I don’t really know the odds of success on a rescue mission, the resources needed, the losses vs the gain, etc.
"this is actually a hard one" not really. he had a choice and the power to do something and he didn't with the mentality that everyone else should have to suffer like he did as a kid and save themselves or they aren't worth anything, pretty cold. it surprised me, I expected this kind of thing from the female knight, using this situation as a opportunity to get rid of the mc but it was the ml was was so adamant on abandoning her, even the knight looked uneasy with his view.
Our "romantic" ML everyone.. thank god she's actually pretty strong. though, even if manages to survive through her own efforts, it doesnt exonerate him for what he's done. or in this case, chosen not to do. not cool.
