@Chibi I agree with you for this chapter , since most of it was done for the fun of play. But 2 things: (1) intentions alone does not make an action good or bad , at least in my opinions (2) Earlier chapters the actions were on a significant scale like installing the tracking app and so. Going back to my earlier point which I still think remains if the ML limits the choices of MC which in turn make them happier even with good intentions IT IS STILL BAD. For instance the scene where the ML lies about their group partner not being there and lies to the group partner that the MC was not there. We saw this as funny and cute because the MC and ML wanted to spend time with each other. However this is still a bad thing since the MC would have chosed to spend time with the group partner , in turn deliberately lying to the MC restrcits his autonomy to make choices.
Good intentions can matter, but they don’t automatically justify taking away someone’s ability to make an informed choice. The scene can be funny within the story while the ML’s behavior is still manipulative and wrong.
