If only my primary school teachers were like this maybe I wouldn't have gotten my plush stolen.
Change and her?Eh, so long as she doesn't actually kill herself I'm fine with that. She needs to be beat down until she actually makes an effort to change and fix herself
You may like the web novel: https://yukikitsuneko.blogspot.com/p/my-childhood-friend-is-sweet-to-me.htmlI too do not like the Japanese revenge fantasy like "Whose who wronged me are forever ruined and will regret everything until they die. But hey, I am now very happy and living a fulfilled life." There should be character growth in Miyuki and Endo's ex gf
Its a situation that spiraled out of her control due to the machinations of someone that was quite good at manipulating both men and women. Not to mention that was even due to an even deeper conspiracy that set that ass to target her in the first place.I understand your thinking, I lean towards wanting characters to find redemption myself. But let's be clear here, what she did wasn't a mistake. She cheated on her boyfriend for who knows how long, then when she was caught she let the dude beat him then to his face coldly called him a stalker and abuser. She then let Kondo bruise her arm, take a picture, blame it on Eiji, and let defamation and bullying of Eiji spread throughout the school (defamation and bullying that would have led to his suicide), all the while never correcting it or calling it out, and even affirming it at times.
Her choices were going to kill Eiji if it wasn't for him meeting Ai, all the while defaming his name into disgrace in the minds of all the students there. That is not a mistake, that is a culmination of choices done by a malicious and evil person. Regardless of how you feel about the severity of her inevitable uhh spoilers, you have to acknowledge what she did was just as severe against Eiji.
Have you never been in a situation where you make a wrong choice and then the situation spirals out of control and you are constantly confused and pressured and not sure what to do or say, so you don't do anything or try not to rock the boat to much for fear what may happen? No?Thats just her getting back what she literally dished out.
She knowingly and consciously tried to ruin his life for no good reason.
Does someone that attempted murder and failed not be punished severely just because they failed?
Those people peaked in high school and stayed static afterwards.It's wild to know there are a ton of people out there who think like this NTR dude.
It's not even a "school thing", because even I knew a few guys in their mid-20s in circles I used to hang out with who liked sleeping with girls who had boyfriends, and even married women, just because they could pull it off effortlessly thanks to how much charisma they had.
I would only say that, while you're absolutely correct about the nuance of who is a victim versus perpetrator and touching on the cycles of abuse borne of only ever punishing, never seeking to help -Its a situation that spiraled out of her control due to the machinations of someone that was quite good at manipulating both men and women. Not to mention that was even due to an even deeper conspiracy that set that ass to target her in the first place.
The only reason the ass got involved with the ex is cause her friend told the ex that the ass would be great at romantic advice, but the friend was in fact sent by the literary club president who knew the ass would wreck the relationship, all because she was jealous of Eiji's writing talent. In fact she had done it before to ruin other relationships, one of which will give raise to the GOAT.
Just because someone is a perpetrator does not mean they are also not a victim. What she did was wrong and severe and she should be punished for, will be punished for, but when you punish someone endlessly for something you are not doing it to teach them of their wrongs, its for your own self satisfaction.
People aren't perfect and are swayed by emotion, desires, and peer pressure. A moment of weakness can and will lead to a lifetime of regret, and that will be heavy enough without people constantly screaming at you on how you fucked up.
I know I've fucked up in my life many times before and that shit haunts me even today. I desperately wish that someone had been more understanding, more empathetic, more willing to say, "Bro you fucked up, but I got your back."
So when I see a character that has their life unravelling before them due to something stupid and severe they did but also another victim in it, I don't celebrate it.
Edit: I debated on adding this because I don't wish to try and make it sound as if Eiji was wrong, as he did literally nothing wrong, but if we want to be really real, if Eiji has went straight to his mother or teacher about the situation, or sought some help, counseling, they could have gotten the ball rolling on this a lot sooner before we got suicidal, but Eiji is also an emotional teenager who is swayed by emotion, desires, and peer pressure.
