I do agree that the turn down of urza by the MC really killed the healthy dynamic of the start where the MC wouldn't care to hide too many things even when he's focused on his objective, like kissing both of the ones he loves. The lying felt unnatural. Same goes with the reaction of Riize. The MC is like yhea I love urza but riize is still alive so we were just friends? (the BS meaning I've met Urza and loved her only because Riize died?) I don't know, I've read too many stories so I don't really care but it wasn't brilliant no matter how you look at it, this part was poorly written because it only works from an author's perspective, not a character's perspective. I don't expect reading masterpieces or flaubert's works or The picture of Dorian Gray while reading manga but since this one is a lot better than most fantasy manga I expected better things from it. The artsyle is still really great and brings you back to the gold ages of manga.
