Anyway tortured mcs with fucked up plots is a synonym of trash writing.
They appeal to your emotions, put a soothing balm on them and then make you wail again on repeat.
I'm not wondering how authors live they lives when they write stuff like this, I just thinks there's something very wrong and I don't want to dig deeper into it.
So I'm not shocked by what you're saying, altough it's very sad.
