ml isnt that important in this lol. maybe bc hes written to be so terribly emotionally stunted, but you take him out of the equation and the MC would still be able to hold the story, with extra trials and tribulation and longer arcs ofc, but the story would still be there. i kinda like that, hes a sideshow, not the highlight. whenever he makes me frustrated i just skip reading the part with him, et voila! the story's unaffected! im not missing anything! thats a good stage to center MC in a character-driven story for me!
Frrrr lolol to me he feels like a nuisance to the story sometimes lolol like shooo go away, she needs to do her thing with coffee! lol but I want him to communicate more tho, he keeps everything in his head
