We do be forgiving these ML of the vilest characters because they are "obsessed" with the 2.0 newly improved version of the girl they ignore even when they are aware of the plight and the situation of girls especially young girls in society...
ML ignored the OG girl because as a girl (who had been suppressed all he life and had to grow up without her parents or any positive parental guide) she was too pathetic and weak for his mighty attention or covert help...
NOW...
...Now she has dug herself up from the trenches, she is surely suitable to save his ass from The Empress.... isn't it a little ironic...
When he saw her in need, he looked away but she is lending her help because she can and she knows he needs it WITHOUT him asking...
