In recent chapters, you can argue that the MC is exhibiting similar behaviors to other characters who have psychologically abused him in the past. However, the MC is stopped before he ever has a chance to actually act out said behaviors

In new chapters, the main character notices that a character has recurrently shown up around him, and many panels show the character silently watching the main character and even making the MC uncomfortable with their presence. The main character asks them, "Are you stalking me?" to which the character answers "When you put it that way, you aren't exactly wrong", inferring acknowledgement that their behaviour is uncomfortable.

There is a scene where the Mc drags an antagonist into the ocean to defeat them, but since both characters are immortal they survive.
