Dude I had no patience and went to raws and my god next chapter is a MESS
I thought maybe he’ll realize mc is actually heartbroken and quickly clear it up and comfort him even if he’s crazy enough to be happy about his jealousy but no
What does he do?
Decides to kiss mc
And mc rightfully punches him cause wtf bitch time and place you’re literally a cheater in his eyes rn cause you’re not denying or clarifying shit
And then mcs legs give out so he’s down
And what does this fuckass ml do?
Whips his dick out like a psycho and jerks off on his face
What the actual everloving flying fuck man, tolerated a lot of stalker bullshit from this dude but this is…….

I hate this trope of abused parents saving their own ass while leaving the mc kid behind all alone depending on the same abuser, and I hate how they’re portrayed as blameless and only pitiable as if I’m supposed to say I get it 6ou we’re tryna survive or smth, bro if you KNOW your spouse is that abusive that you’d leave everything behind and RUN, wouldn’t anything be better than staying there for the kid too? Like clearly you don’t care to keep your child with you but couldn’t you idk leave him with some other relative too? Or fucking hell even an orphanage? writing-wise I hate how they’re shown only as a victim and not like basically an accomplice in the kid’s abuse . . .

Bro the switch up is so abrupt and it only makes it feel like he’s going “okay so I’m the problem I won’t bother you anymore” just to get him to run after him being like “no I’m sorry I went too far” like I know that’s not the intention with the writing cause they’re tryna make him still be an otherwise alright guy that blurred the lines betweeN protection, like and obsession but it’s really coming off as intentionally manipulative

I’m both excited and annoyed, like bro if all it took was one convo telling you to be selfish etc for you to quickly change your mind then COULDNT YOU HAVE THOUGHT IT YOURSELF?/? HOW MANY MONTHS DOD IT TAKE, and it’s not like it’s a case of him beating himself up endlessly for his divorce and needing specifically her forgiveness and permission to go be with someone selfishly, like the whole reason was leaving him cause he’s too young and you wanted him to be with people his age and that reason hasn’t changed so why did this one convo send you running I’m annoyed

to me, it reads less like 'one convo fixed everything' and more like that conversation was the final push after months of subconscious wrestling. sometimes people need an outside voice to echo what they already feel but can’t fully admit to themselves.
i think the point more how its trying to highlight how guilt/obligation can cloud judgment until someone outright gives you 'permission' to prioritize yourself—but if that’s the case, it could’ve been fleshed out more.
My god the brother is a cunt, who tf talks like that to someone they just met and is ordering around a whole ass adult like fuck owfff
Like fucking hell being spoiled at home really messed with your sense of manners? You barged into someone else’s house insulted it AND them, and then act like you’re the parent of your GROWN ADULT brother ordering him around telling him where to live what to do, and also bro mc should grow a spine and tell him to fuck the hell off more harshly he’s going way too much with the dickhead’s flow so much that his head tripled in size, pop that balloon
