Comment by Chibi on Shu Wei

@Chibi love this explanation 

While ultimately the actions of the  ML led to better outcomes like them coming together or things like that , it doesn't necessarily make his actions fine or good. If you zoom out a couple of chapters the ML installed a tracking app in the MC phone without his consent , also logging into his phone to make sure they were the same roommates doesn't exactly scream cute! Besides that manipulation involves deliberately withholding information so that the other party cannot make choices which is what the ML is doing. Just because it leads to good outcomes does not make the actions itself good. We only see this in a positive light because he is the ML and not the antagonist or someone else.
