reminder: liking and reading toxic, dark stories and characters doesn't make you a bad person. Stories like this are 18+ for a reason - ppl who are susceptible/easily influenced by these themes and can't separate fiction from reality are probably minors, who shouldn't be reading this in the first place (and that's on them for still reading it, not the author). If you can't separate fiction from reality and honestly think that this is what actual healthy MLM relationships are like, you're probably too young for these type of stories and shouldn't be reading them in the first place. Let's not thought police and shame ppl for liking what they like.
