ngl he stood up for himself a lot but it got kinda old when his partner was somehow always there for his rescue i mean it’s romantic yeah but it gets to a point where the mc just starts looking like some damsel in distress
even though i tend to give these types a try and even i can tell how shitty this is lmaoo the whole “hes just a beta!! b-but hes so alpha now!!” shit is so cliche
tbh ngl hes so real for that he would rather be with someone who treats him so cruelly than be alone its a sad reality many people deal with including myself
ngl this reminds me of bj alex sm lmaoo the pacing is the exact same
