I’m really starting to hate this series just because it’s basically just the guy getting abused and beaten down over and over and over and over again with nothing going his way constantly and every situation giving him a disadvantage
Just because there’s some in universe explanation doesn’t make it any less shitty. They weren’t complaining that it doesn’t make sense in the plot they’re complaining it’s annoying as a reader and it’s ruining their enjoyment of the series
He said multiple times he’s not attracted to them at all and sees them more like children/his kids since he half raised them. so unless his moral compas completely changes that’s not happening
