Spoiler alert
No, Mc is certainly no badass, the simple fact that in the story he talk to Erynn even after she humiliate him (and still continue to talk to the ethan guy, or whatever his name, the guy who initiate the humiliation), the fact that he don't even go to the police station to report the sick fuck (lucas) who attacked him, the fact that he make a scandal because alexis didn't report to him that she know erynn (the fuck is wrong with him who the hell he care ffs !)...and the list go on. So no, the mc is certainly not a badass.
