I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion . But to say the characters are poorly written? ( Unless we are comparing them to idk ,Nobel worthy book characters??) . Yeah all of us have different standards but these characters are not poorly written. Not Ruby at least , nor Izek( Valentino is an exception , idk why that bastard is so twisted) . I get where Izek is coming from . I also don't want to follow my parents footsteps and make another person miserable. And for my girl Ruby , she endured so much abuse , yet she was able to keep up a happy facade on the outside. I didn't have the best childhood, but it wasn't as bad as some people go through , yet I find myself wishing life to end , like the coward I'm . But Ruby doesn't think about ending her life , not once ( at least not until because of that bastard valentino ) . Physically she is very weak, but mentally she is one of the toughest characters. Not all of us are going to agree with her method of survival. But in my eyes my girl did what she had to do .
