i cant say im quite fond of these recent developments as it requires me to tolerate a character that the story itself trashed and then tries to elaborate on with extremely poor reasoning that is way too absurd to take seriously causing one to wonder how this isnt a main genre comedy series with its joke of a plot.
and for the record a cheater isnt a flawed character since cheating isnt a flaw its a betrayal which is quite the serious offense in any story worth writing about but somehow this story is actively choosing to treat it as some kind of youthful misadventure which makes it seem like a flaw instead of the evil act it should otherwise be seen as.
Totally this. In the beginning of the story, we're introduced to the mc's crush, and her reaction to being cheated on. So obviously, this is the character we're supposed to sympathize with, right? Then, when the cheater is introduced, he's just as scummy as she described him as. When we see her tell him she's leaving, you get the sense of her overcoming a hurdle in her life and moving on to a new chapter, possibly with the mc. So boyfriend was just meant to represent the negativity of the previous chapter of her life, right? And her show of moving on from that means that now Baba as a character isn't needed anymore, right? Except no, because Baba bitch boy stuck around, with no more purpose as a character except to confuse the reader and make them uncomfortable.
