I ground my teeth in hope for character development, but then I really liked this when I started it, so the subject matter felt like a betrayal. There's also the fact that the novel honest-to-god puts forth the idea that unregulated s*avery that is confirmed to feature torture - and the main character INTENTIONALLY TORTURING A 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL - is totally okay, because, s*avery is legal, and she loves him later! It's like the story thinks he's entitled to respect and worship, and the idea of happily living in the background is unfathomable.
The persecution complex is so thick I'm gagging on it. No good characters are allowed to exist without also regarding him fondly, or their dislike being a misunderstanding. Everyone is painted as villainous so he looks like a shining beacon of hope. No one else is allowed to do heroic things. But the narrative only paints him as being absolutely in the right and earning back the appreciation he rightfully deserved from the beginning. I actually adore the angle of "would rather self-destruct than grow as a person". There's no explanation why the concept of women fills him with feverish loathing it's just, one person who was female claimed he abused her! So all women are tr*sh! Okay? Are we just supposed to accept that 'female wrongdoing = become misogynistic' is a rational mindset? Or just assume misogyny is the default?Īll of his motivations are entirely selfish, which is fine! Dark heroes are neat. really not a good person at all? He fantasized about beating and emotionally abusing his 10-year-old s*ave just because she was the same gender as a single person amongst a group of people that betrayed him. This guy is the opposite of a well-adjusted adult.
His food turns to ash in his mouth and he's like WELL IF YOU'RE GOING TO JUST TREAT ME LIKE A VILLAIN THEN f*ck YOU I'LL BE A JERK, knowing full well it's not going to fix anything. All he does is sulk about how terrible he's being treated, but he never acts except to behave even worse.
