I think it’s on purpose, since he is abandoning his revenge somewhat in wanting to live a good life instead of destroying himself for the sole purpose of taking revenge for what was done to him in his „past life“. Maybe the difference between how the viewer sees Hugo and how the MC sees Hugo is supposed to be that way? Or the revenge arc is only there to start the story and give him a purpose until he finds his way in enjoying life (what he already does, and the more he enjoys life the more the need for revenge fades?)
I must be one of the only people who doesn’t care about his revenge that much lmao. The author didn’t do a good job making readers despise Hugo, which is a must for revenge-only stories.
