I feel like it's about Stockholm syndrome.After being kissed by force and being forced to do things you don't want, I think the author calls love as getting used to it. I really don't like it when novels with a lot of s*xual ab*se attribute the process of falling in love to getting used to the s*xual ab*se and not feeling as 'disgusting' or 'bad' as much as the first time. And frankly, although things are not more exaggerated than other novels, this is still bothers me. And initially I had high hopes for the MC and ML duo. Depending on the way the story was written, if these things at the beginning could have been discarded it could be better. We don't always view fictional worlds as real, and there's no obligation that we have to like the things we like in the fictional world in real life. But I still don't like seeing things in novels that I wouldn't like in real life. This is my opinion. Frankly, such a male lead bothers and irritates me. If I met such a person in real life, the first thing I would do would be to call the police, a mental hospital, or a psychologist.To summarize, ML uses Mc's heartbreak for himself, while he says 'he loves' MC, ML also causes a rift between he and his friends in their group, and in the same way, ML constantly causes the failure of what MC has been dreaming of for many years. It bothered me a lot to read about ML constantly messing around with Mc's career and friends, pitting them against each other, and then standing next to MC and comforting him while he was upset. Even though ML has done everything, MC begins to 'relax' and 'get used' to him because ML is always with him. The author calls this love, but I honestly don't know what it is.It doesn't matter how much he obsess over MC, but for me the most important thing about ML is that he doesn't harm MC. This is not just physically but also emotionally. I've read a lot of dark romances before, and since it's fictional, I can tolerate obsession and yandere Ml's to a certain extent, but it disgusts me that ML goes behind Mc's back and ruins his dreams and friendships or something else.Still, I can say that it is better than many red flag and sick ML novels. Generally, you need to read the tags of such books first and start. If there is something that might bother you, it is better not to read it at first. Because not everyone's preferences and capacity to handle characters sickness (over jealousy, doing sth behind the scenes, obsession...) are the same. There's a difference between reading this in a novel with fluffy tags and reading it in a novel with these tags. You should start by knowing that these will happen in the first place and if you prefer. So in short, I started this knowing that I would read a Yandere Ml, even though Ml's behavior bothered me. And even though I don't like Ml, I can say that his character is not as exaggerated as Ml's in other novels. Of course, this depends on how much you can handle. On the other hand, although MC is not an extremely different character, he can still think and has his own emotions, and at least in the first episodes, he slapped and punched Ml.Even though I don't prefer such Mls in terms of story, I liked the process of the story. A novel that can be easily read and understood. It's also gripping. I actually still have mixed feelings about this story. Even though I don't like ML and MC that much, the book keeps me reading. I'm also curious to see how things will develop. So, even though there are things that bother me, they are not extreme enough to make me put the novel down.And I like Ml's character didn't further exaggerated in later episodes. Because in stories like this, they usually seem good, but they actually start to get worse with each episode. Ml's behavior in this regard is already evident from the beginning. That's why I liked how he handled his relationship with MC towards the end of the story. It was a nice character development for him to start doing some things differently and for him to hold back or at least try to do things MC didn't want to do.
