@floppy turkey dikc yeah, apparently playing with another girl's feelings and treating that girl as a toy makes handsome men seem more masculine. I'm actually rather curious about the author's psyche (she nails the narcissistic, abusive hot guy so close to reality, I'm amazed so she probably knows people like this IRL), and I have a hypothesis, but I'll wait till the end game is revealed.
I'm a 40+ old auntie who likes BL. My husband calls them the "anti-husband system". 😅
