I think it's more about the redemption arc and how he changes as a person. Sure, Masaki did some fucked up shit but everyone makes mistakes, some more serious than the other. I also think that Masaki just wanted someone to notice and love him. That doesn't excuse his wrongdoings, he should have a punishment. (I mean, Bakugou from bnha is also a real jackass but people still loved him for some reason)
I agree with you soo much, I read this before I read his other story and idk how to feel about him he didn’t even apologize but he made mistakes and never apologized which makes me not like his character. Also bakugou is a total dick and everyone loves him, I can’t stand him, people ignore the fact that he was a bully for quite some time. If he was fat and ugly the views on him would be so much different, but people aren’t ready for that conversation
I..... what is this trend in yaoi where you take a very abusive an toxic man that nearly destroyed someone they claimed to like and then make a whole story about how they arent THAT bad and deserve forgiveness and love... the only thing they deserve is to pay for their crimes the hell
