This always happens in most porn avn, MCs just put up with whatever bs the girls do just because ... I don't know, boobs?
I doubt we will be seeing Selene facing any consequences or MC puting his foot down once and for all, its just not the way it usually goes but if it does happen I would be pleasantly surprised.
I get what you are all saying...
But if the MC was an alpha male it would not have been targeted by these guys.
They need a nice and "weak" minded person to go alone their schemes.
A guy that will bend to their will: A regular good guy.
He doesn't put up with everything she does, he confronts her in the gym at lenght about what she did.
He cannot go farther because, if he doesn't keep her with him, he will be alone against these guys and he need all the help he can to save his friends/familly.
He believe that she will be toss out and he is not a murderer (regular guy with empathy).
So yeah I get that we all want to play a guy bigger than ourself (no pun intended or maybe yes).
It is a space opera story where we (I) tend to stress the story to find loopholes and inconsistencies.
"What would I have done ?"
But hey, it's like a book, you go with whatever the writer wrote.
On another topic, I get the reference of the slap in the face right at the first encounter ("I dare you to say what again.").
Did you ?
