I gotta admit, this chap. made me like Lala as a character a lot more.

 

[Saike]

This is very good.

This chapter does not redeem Lala for being the total bitch she really is.

@FredFriendly One of the rare times I generally agree with you. The only change I would make is to say she was being a total bitch TO THE MC specifically. By all evidence, she was generally kind and nice to everyone else. She kept her inner thoughts to herself and never acted on them.

But yeah, she blackmailed the MC with an embarrassing photo the exact same way that she was being blackmailed by this Min guy.

@FredFriendly @comeonnow0 Yes, but I think that's why it's a redemption arc, and I don't think it's finished yet.

She WAS a bad person, but is slowly becoming better than she was.

@Tamerlane Yes, I understand that she was becoming better. That's a good thing. Undeniably good. However, that does not mean that we should forgive her. We can understand her and understand why she did certain things, but that's not necessarily reason to forgive her and forget everything she did. If the MC is okay with being her friend after everything she did, that's fine, but it should be in light of everything she did, not regardless of everything she did.

Basically, understanding is not the same as forgetting, and forgiveness is not the same as understanding.

What about the MC’s male friend? The classmate? Does he not have a close relationship with him like Lala? I mean, the MC can also say whatever he wants freely when he’s with him.

I don’t think what the MC and Lala have is any kind of special interaction—they’re just normal friends, aside from that master-slave dynamic. Other than that, there’s nothing special.

This feels forced to me.
