I'm kind of disappointed. It's one of those otome-esque stories so it's not as if I had great expectations in the first place, but this is really low-effort. Even if the villain only exists in order to be punched half to death later on in the story, couldn't the author at least have tried to flesh him out a little bit? Childhood abuse? Inferiority complex? Mental illness? People who legitimately deserve to be tortured don't just pop up out of nowhere for no reason.
