Alicia is living the life of a second-hand female character in the midst of these living tropes... because she... herself... made it that way by giving her sister all those dumb-ass suggestions. They were:
1) Don't bother to redeem Kai, just kill him off
2) Make Ares the male lead but make him hyper-alpha and hyper-sexual for all the smut scenes
3) Kill off Alicia since she's a trivial side character who just disappeared in her sister's original version
Her argument was public opinion / "look at the online comments", lol
Her character flaw is that she considers her viewpoint as the only correct one and doesn't question it. She thoughtlessly acts on that in spite of evidence to the contrary and shuts others down when they try to speak up. That directly led to where she is now and will probably continue to hilariously torture her until she gets some sense smacked into her. Just food for thought, she is the one who's trying to abandon Kai. That's why things are going the way they are.
