People don't like it because it's toxic, but that's the whole point. In fact, it's better than the other stories that romanticize toxicity. In this story, the MC doesn't know that the ML is toxic (yet), he's kept completely in the dark and that's why he still loves him. The ML is a psychopath done right, not even his own kid is spared. I can't stand stories with toxic semes and the uke just somehow forgives him for everything. The vague ending is also a nice touch, really creepy.
