There is very thin line between charismatic villain and sc*m. Severus Snape vs Dolores Umbridge or Sandor Clegane vs Joffrey Waters and it's difference lies in character arc and development. And MC is strongly in latter camp. I think Author tried to make him Homelander (tv version) without all crippling psychological issues but what came out is just plain sc*m. I read up to 27th chapter and maybe Author plans some character arc but it does not seems likely.

LIKEDon’t let it change, that’s what makes this story so much better
I find scum protagonists everywhere so it isn't so much appealing right now but, I'll give it a try just because I never seem to find a good or at least finished fanfic with The Boys or Invincible.
