Hard challenge: How to make a scumbag mc likeable?

[CheertheSecond]

Sorry for misunderstanding. This already happened, right? You wrote this part and published it, so you can't change it, or am I wrong? If I am wrong and this is still a work in the progress, you can simply rewrite it, no?

But this is supposed to be a challenge. If we keep sticking ourselves with easy to resolve scenario, how else are we supposed to invent more?
