Ultimate Comment on this new release:
I pretty much agree with what
Cirdon already wrote at the top of the page
PLUS
By reading/watching Emma's and Gwen's point of view...it feels like the bullying was mostly verbal(for Emma by using that awful nickname "Piggy", while for Gwen is basically being forced into babysit her or be her butler) still didn't see what Aina did to him (if there is more than just humiliating MC for his love confession and then "keeping him" around like a pet or a personal servant for now is unknown)
Also let's remind that nothing excuses someone's awful actions. I mean Emma can tell that Aina was nice all along, still didn't excuse her from treating people like they are trash...nor does her short flashback about crying in her sleep. Harry Potter, sad and tragic backstory full of family abuse...still a hero for 7 books and 8 movies, with his issues, but still nice enough to not beat the living hell out of Ron or Hermione(also because he never really had a reason to XD)
On a personal experience, I had a teacher that tried to force me to befriend a person who was awful to me, but the teacher kept saying "They're nice, soon enough you too will like them like everyone else does" ... I never saw the day when that person was nice to me...what I mean with this? People can tell to other people what a great person is their friend, it doesn't mean it's true for everyone, to someone else, that guy may be the greatest jerk alive on earth because they're a jerk to that someone
Ultimately, with these new flashbacks MC looks a bit overdramatic, not sure if it's something you planned, or just maybe lack of understanding, or anything else...but in the first release you made the girl look three beautiful demons who ruined someone's life...and now it feels like MC antagonize them just for drama...or because his emotions are a mess...for some reason...so we'll see what Aina did for becoming MC's worst nightmare...aside a public humiliation(if there is nothing but that confession, I advise you to really focus on how about the whole school maybe mocked him for months just for even thinking to confess his feelings...maybe MC held her responsible for the treatment he got from his peers AFTER the confession...)
Okay I basically ranted... I'm sorry, if something is unclear, feel free to send me a private message
