Hmmm true but I love analysing stories like these . So my theory is that jaques is the contractor who payed the MC’s ex friends to make ML fall in love with MC so that he’ll turn into a mermaid. And they can take advantage of the ML.
It feels weird, author brings up new characters while acting like we, readers, should know everything about them, but we don't, so it just feels like endless confusion. Some books use that technique to make readers interested, then explain everything later, but there are no explanations in the horizon
