It's trash, but I kept reading it because I got addicted to the trash? Usually I'm used to seeing the male love interest of the MC as the red flag in the relationship. Yellow if you're lucky, but for this I'd say both the MC and the ML are red flags, because you gotta be a little bit toxic yourself in order to deal with that much toxicity and not go insane. Though he did go insane. Poor guy. A huge part of his life is just suffering. Honestly I'm surprised and impressed that he didn't off himself somewhere along the line. Personally I would have.Debt-Abuse-Debt-Depression-Abuse-Hope-Abuse-Debt-Abuse-Depression. That was the circle.

So why didn't I give this a 4 star? Well, because I managed to finish it. The story is actually pretty interesting... If you're half blind.
And I will give credit where it is due, they actually went to therapy. The MC that is. (Though in my opinion the ML needed it just as much, though no one is asking me of course) The author didn't just make his problems go away after he found "love"? With the ML. To an extent it's clear the author acknowledged that the situation the MC was in wasn't in any way normal.

He was NOT okay. And that's one of the reasons why I kept reading. I wanted to know, if he did get okay.
And he did 🤧

As for the ML... Who? That annoying piece of shit was only good for one thing, the *mini spoiler alert* Vengeance arc on those bastards that assaulted the MC. That's it, oh and his money, because if there's one thing the MC needed the most it was money.... Money to afford therapy.
