Straight up ass. The ML is utter shit from the beginning to his supposed "redemption" phase, and I depise the author for not ONCE having the FL be disgusted, hateful, sick, or scared of this man. There is no saving this story unless the ML just dies.
Side note since there's no forums rn: Why in the hell are y'all blaming the FL when this man is legitimately FORCING this woman to stay and is consistently verbally and physically abusing her. Do y'all not pick up on that? Like you're getting mad at her for not communicating or not doing anything "badass", what is she suppose to do when she has no power and is sexually abused whenever she speaks. Hello, tf is going on???
