Looking through some otome Reddits... And I keep seeing people being all “I'm so glad this character is done with his neighbour's shit!”
... His neighbour offered him and his girlfriend each a basket of bread and talked about opening his own bakery. And then said hello to them the next day and invited them to visit a competitor cafe with him. (First he invited the girl, and then the love interest was like “No, we go together” and then the guy was like “Sure! Come along with us!”)
If he should be 'done' with anything, he should be done with his apparent girlfriend's shit of being vague about their relationship all the fucking time? Which the game constantly does with her, like she doesn't want to say “I am dating this man.”
Like, the scene where he's “done” with the neighbour features his neighbour being like: “Oh, your hunters [a group of people who protect the city from Wanderers]? You must be colleagues!” And she's like “Yeah, he's my partner.” She leaves it at that, so whatever. But then he could've just been like, “And she's my girlfriend.” Or she could've said something more. That's not this character being “done with his neighbour's shit” but him reacting in jealousy, rightly or wrongly.
And that's also how the scene is written and MEANT to be read because you're constantly being told that he has mood swings and a dark cloud over his head where the main character is involved. You're being shown and told that he's JEALOUS. Multiple times over, in fact.
The fact that people playing with and engaging with this media can't read that for what it is? When it's clearly written, explicitly so... Is deeply sad and speaks loudly of the state of the world.
