I like the way Cosy has written the story.
There will always be other ways to portray different women and the way they relate to an MC.
What you are asking for/favoring is effectively a major rewrite of the story which, IMO, would ruin it for fans like me.
Some women like Victoria, are confident about their bodies while others like Sarah have body issues.
Sarah's - you owe me a favor makes sense - she is a daughter from a founding family and favors are a currency for them.
Some people don't like Sarah calling the MC an idiot and mega-idiot while I am fine with that because of How I view these exchanges.
As for using idiot to refer to the MC - it is hardly an attack or verbal abuse, it is her way of dealing with uncomfortable situations and emotions.
This is how she does this - her words spring from her insecurity, not any disrespect - and the MC understands this and makes allowance for it - he is Not an insecure male.
I'm fine with sisterhood behavior when it strengthens the harem, which means that it reinforces the MC as The man leading the harem and that he Expects harmony in his harem - something he has specifically told Catherine.
As for the girls contributions...
I guess that Akatsuki does not make any contribution in the kitchen.
I guess that the maid cafe idea to get the MC business (Sarah - the marketing manager) was quite unsuccessful.
I guess that Lucy, Victoria, Hannah and Sarah actually went outside for smokes during the entire time the cafe was open and serving customers and the MC magically served them and cooked at the same time.
Yes - this is meant as a Very heavy dose of sarcasm.
It seems like we will simply have to agree to disagree about a great deal of how this AVN is structured and written.
For one thing, we feel Very differently about the contribution of the women to the cafe and to helping the MC begin to realize his dreams.
I'm actually surprised that you are So dismissive of the impact of the women. -
The girls contribution is limited to small help here and there... Wow...
Perhaps another AVN will give you the male centric, women are quiet wall flowers who should be seen and not heard, world view you seem to be espousing - not my thing - but... you do you.
Cheers!!
