But as far as we can tell, Maya and Josy had one night together. A special night....and then kept in touch. Still cheating? if that is the case, how are you (as the MC) any better playing them both at the same time? Who is worse, Maya, Josy or the MC? This is why his reaction to the situation is totally off-keyy, out of character and terrible bit of writing. His reaction makes no sense whatsoever in the whole context of things.
Condemn two great characters (yeah I'm still a Maya fan) for not telling you about 'one night' with somewone else (a girl), who she has been unjustly chastised for by her family? Josy at least comes clean and tells you, and then you sleep with her knowing this information.
Seems you have more of an issue with the badly written MC than either of the girls actions.
But I’m not the MC.
The MC is a character in this and has separate, stated, morals and opinions from me.
My opinion on Maya, Josy and Bella is based on my morals and opinions. I would have no desire to be with someone who cheats. I don’t trust them. I don’t care about the circumstances I’ve a zero tolerance on wilfully betraying an expectation of fidelity because I value trust. Whether I’m a fan of them is born of my opinions. I can separate out my morality from the MC’s. My opinions on Maya are separate from his.
Which is a good thing because people’s morality colours their perception of the story. For example, you say his reaction make zero sense and is out of character... I entirely disagree because I took the MC at his word when he explained why he was angry. He repeatedly explains he is angry in Ep4 because of the lying. He didn’t expect fidelity from them. You’re under the impression he was mad because of the cheating. That there’s hypocrisy for him being upset they lied about being in a relationship when he too was banging them both. There’s no comparable hypocrisy on the MC’s part because he didn’t consider himself in a relationship or even as having particular strong feelings. He’s mad (and he says it time and time again in Ep4) because they lied about being in a relationship and withheld facts that ended up with the avoidable confrontation at the end of Ep3. Sure, his reaction is over the top but he isn’t a hypocrite.
The MC has shown zero issue with his LI cheating on their partners with him. He doesn’t assume someone who cheats with you will cheat on you... but he didn’t like them lying by omission. His story tracks in my opinion and makes sense if you take him at his word that he was just casually crushing on these two girls he’s barely known 10 days (something often overlooked here) and he was pissed off they lied to his face repeatedly. He wasn’t expecting fidelity so the fact they were in relationships didn’t bother him. He got pissed off at the lying leading to Ep3 finale and in the Ep4 finale he confronts them only about their lying to him and each other. He doesn’t once mention any sort of cheating they did. It’s clear he isn’t bothered by their cheating on one another (and they’re not bothered by it either) which is why I’ve no issue with Maya or Josy as a LI for the MC I just won’t be a fan of them as characters.
Also Maya and Josy had more than one special night. They were in a relationship by their own admission. They obliquely reference being sexual more than that one time (stuff like getting piercings to make sex better). They admit they cheated and both consider themselves in a relationship.
We’re not the MC and separating out our morality and opinions from him makes the story flow better.
