People who think he's annoying don't know what the author is doing, it's a common trope to pair an anti-hero with a heroic side character/romantic love interest. Revenge takes a person down a miserable path and if misery accompanies misery, it'll only lead to mutual destruction. I like ML because he's not moralizing to her or fearful for her, he's just a genuine good person. I hope his friendship helps her start to feel better.
