I kept thinking surely the ML won't continue being a massive dick throughout the whole story but uh... yeah.  He really did.  He had a small epiphany finally that he mightve been the absolute worst but once the MC forgave him, he went back to being a dick for the most part and was immensely controlling of who he was allowed to interact with and where he could go.  The author wrote an extra chapter to try and make it clear that this was all okay because the MC realized it was for his own protection, like he didn't supposedly have good intuition for other people.  It just seemed like they got a lot of rightful criticism for the ML and tried to wash it off.   Don't recommend unless you like super controlling, mildly physically abusive and hostile MLs who do nothing but treat their shou like shit then get mad when they try to hang around people who actually seem to like them.
