@Dumbdumbestdumber No, I get you. He is a tsundra (however you spell it), but those types of people are inherently toxic. That's why I called him a toxic love interest. Like, he's a toxic person, IN GENERAL, but he is a love interest. I've read fluffy stories in the past, from fanfics, to anime, to manga/manwha, but I've gotten bored of them. I can walk outside and see that happy relationship any time of the day, so I find it boring now. So, I resort to fiction to read what I don't normally see in public, because it's new and interesting. I wouldn't say it's rare, but compared to the fluffy stories and some that are just borderline boring with no drama, toxic tops (not just possessive) are not common, thus they're interesting!
Anyway, enough about me personal opinion, but the thing is is that, you're not supposed to read these toxic tops and ACTUALLY want them IRL. You're not supposed to support/agree with their actions IRL either. You're just supposed to be entertained by this psycho that will literally kill for his lover. That's why I can't stand when people are like, "UGH, I hate this main character because of how the author wrote them." Well, you're not supposed to actually like them. I mean, you can, but they're really made to be how they are to entertain. People like villains because they're entertaining. These toxic tops are no different. You're not supposed to actually like them as a person (unless you're just into toxic fictional characters, but you're able to distinguish fiction from reality). You're just supposed to like them because they're hot and entertaining.
