Her conclusion. I'm fine with this. I felt genuinely less agravated with her in this chapter, and that's because the author actually demonstrated "sympathetic" points, which was practically absent in the last one.
Whether or not they're affective at this point in time. Eh. Her not giving up on Heroine? That's fine. Just don't be a sexual deviant about it.
To counter Kynnath: The similarities are surface level, as the manga goes about. Surface generic level: They were both betrayed by the opposite sex. The MC has a stronger foundation for this matter because of a triple betrayal, but that shouldn't damper the nature of her story. She wasn't simply "rejected."
For a direct quote from Chapter 49: "You have brought color into my school life, and I am grateful for that." "However, now that i've found other cuter girls, I don't want anything to do with you anymore."
Actually. What the fuck. That dude was a scumbag. "Thanks for the help, but since there are girls cuter than you, I'm just gonna cut off all ties with you. Thanks again!" I think this makes for a solid case of being used and tossed aside rather than just simply getting dumped. All in all, it was the phrasing.
In any case, this doesn't excuse her of acting out her fantasies. Like. At all. Her actions were still atrocious, and these revelations don't exactly damper my bad impression of her. Gotta make it up with the redemption arc bruh.
Seems like she wasn't spreading the rumors, but she still used it as a negotiation point time and again? Sorry girl. That really doesn't help your character. Ima just use the rumors to my advantage to get the girl I want. Yeah. No.
Also. She got away with assaulting Ayame. Ibu got suspended. I "guess" you could say it was consensual? Since Ayame went of her own free will? Still dumb that she and her lackeys basically got away with various questionable actions.
