Okay so I liked how he was a scheming bastard pretending to be a nice guy, but if he was a nice guy to begin with, why did he have to pretend to be a scheming bastard pretending to be a nice guy. Did the author not have the balls to go all the way, or did they think "I need to give him some likeable traits or else people will really hate him" as if we weren't here specifically to read about a bastard
I mean, it's still fun imo, but I came here expecting a true dickwad MC
