You know exactly what i mean by that 😮💨
She isn't anywhere close to being the same as Nephy and Fol.
It's just been ages, since we've actually had Zagan and Nephy be relevant 😶
You're forgetting some important things here.
- Chastille and Barbatos are the deuteragonists of the story. They're, and will become, VERY relevant characters. And I'll tell you more: without Chastille and Barbatos, there would not be Nephy or Zagan because, among other reasons, Chastille is the reason why Zagan can live a peaceful life with his family. And who is the one who protects Chastille? Barbatos.
- Zagan cares about Chastille, a lot. He says things like "I only care about Nephy and Foll", but he's a really caring person and yes, it's true that Zagan only has eyes for Nephy, and sometimes he acts very selfishly, but Chastille is an ally that he has in high value. Just wait and see how the story unfolds. Both Barbatos and Zagan grew up half of their lives alone and they have their reasons to be the way they were back in volume 1, and they don't know how to show their caring and love to others. Yes, Zagan is learning, yes, is very vocal about his love for Nephy and Foll, but he still thinks he's a bad person (and I insist, he's a kind and caring person).
- Part of this arc is about Chastille and Nephteros, so of course Nephy and Zagan will appear less. You have to let other characters to have their time to develop their arcs. One of the reasons why this story (the light novel) is so good is thanks to the side characters and thanks to, once again, Barbatos and Chastille. This is just my personal view, but my favorite moments about Zagan and Nephy are when they interact with other characters, not between them. Yes, they're cute, but they show more of their growth as a characters when they interact with others.
So please, just have a little more patience. This past chapters are very important to develop Barbatos, Chastille and Nephteros as characters, the relationship between them and to set up future arcs. I promise the next chapters until volume 5 is fully adapted will be really good.
