I mean sure in the most technical sense, but I feel like MC doesn't really have any moral high ground to stand on. If he'd just called the king a dick without trying to pull a holier than thou I feel like he'd have been better characterized. Characters who are all about themselves can be well written but trying to pull mental gymnastics to pretend like you're not a self-absorbed narcissist comes off as disingenuous. Maybe it's my fault for trying to over analyze the trashy NTR mangayes, they are not the same.
also the hero does try to make them feels good, thats ntr cock steal 101.
