Why, Eric is an utter douche.
Aside from clearly not reading what I wrote at all, allow me to respond in the best possible way to everything you've written
He's Max...
This a guy who picked on some much younger than him and smaller than him.
He's Max...
He's like the school bullies who always target smaller individuals. Total pussies.
He's Max...
His entire purpose for wanting to ship Max off to military camp is he can't handle competition.
He's Max...
He's a fucking little bitch plain and simple.
He's Max...
Who the fuck wants to play that for a character.
Anyone who thinks Max is a good character, let alone not the same as Eric.
What would have happened to a real life Eric that tried his crap?
Probably less than what would've happened to Max had he done all his crap IRL.
Well the world you are presented with is a world of current level technology. It is only because of the authors whim that any person with access to the cameras and so on in this time would have recorded this shit bag and exposed him for the pile of shit he is. Eric's actions were just begging to be recorded. Be it him fucking others or making threats, giving in appropriate gifts...
Been a while in this reply but, now say it with me, "
He's Max...".
The author doesn't once allow users to make use of any real retaliation, violence, or other wise.
That's a shame, because Max is in desperate need of having just an ounce of decency beat into him, not to mention
The list of shit friends and myself had done to adults as a kid as retaliations is a long as list.
Yet nobody put you and your friends in your place when you were kids.

Something tells me you're a lot younger than I am, or full of shit. Or both.
At age 10 I weighed maybe a buck soaking wet. I broke my first adults nose and they had it the hell coming. Tried to drag me into an apartment.
Ok, you're a "tough guy" who likes bragging for literally no reason. I was a toddler when I broke an adult's nose... It's not something that requires much force.
You know when adults are vulnerable to kids when they sleep, so is their property like cars and so on.
Yes, yes, you've a history of vindictive and violent behaviour. Something tells me you probably deserved a lot of what you got if this is how you're acting over a joke.
Well max is supposed to be a good bit old than I was at 10. As I said the only reason he had no way of dealing with Eric is that was pure the idiot rioters choice.
There's a lot more reasons he had problems with Eric, not least of which is his connections to their estranged father and the house they got from him. A house that already came with one spy camera, of which Max was the only one in the family to know about, and instead of removing it, decides to profit from his own family's ignorance whilst (poorly) attempting to manipulate them into doing more and more sexual things with him.
Hell, the little scumbag was so poor at it, he got manipulated by both Kira and Alice ffs!
Face it, Eric knew Max better than Max knew himself, because they're same devious, reprehensible pieces of shit as each other.
There is nothing the least bit redeeming or interesting about Eric.
Max is bad enough as a character Eric would be 10 times worse.
Max is as irredeemable as Eric. They are basically the same character.
Next time you want to go off on a barely relevant rant, try to work on your reading comprehension before hand
