@_stultus You're not wrong with half of what you said. I mean, Seto has ALWAYS been a kind guy. We've seen it before, and it shows again later down the road. That's not Anjou's influence.
Him socializing more, and dressing up, sure, that is her influence. And him being better than the generic doormat MC, sure, why not. Preferences.
But the point remains, everyone still saying "beta cuck MC" this or that, or "dense MC" this or that. Dense? She LITERALLY disses him, insults him, mocks him... "But she's just lovingly teasing him". Uh...okay. Says you, the omniscient reader.
If someone mocked you and insulted you in a daily basis, would YOU go "oh yeah, she's definitely into me"? Cause buddy, if the answer is yes, we've got a problem XD
And that's kinda my issue. It's reached a point where I'm not tired of the "dense MC". I'm tired of PEOPLE saying "dense MC". Excuse me, there's 2 people in this dance. SHE could tell HIM "I like you". But nah, let's keep being playful and mocking. It's his fault for not noticing.
