that makes sense in real life but not much in stories showing MC being immediately ok after such a traumatic event and glossing over it (gf of 4 years ? with MC's Dad) and basically saying: "oh well shit happens" How does it make sense in a story that is extremely bad writing then what was the point of that scene just a shock value ? it seems pretty cheap like pointless jump scares in horror movies you could just say MC's father died and got fired on the same day and Have the same effect.Ok, I'll bite. What revenge exactly would you envision as 'adequate' then?
Our MC saw the shit that happened and just left. However, without that event occurring he would have never met the women in the bar. I think we can say that with the story so far, he is VASTLY ahead of where he was prior to all that shit happening.
His life is moving in a positive direction with an upward trajectory that is exponentially better than where he would have ever been before. Why would you want to give the former asshats even more power over you by you dwelling on them even more than the former time wasted with them around? It would be an actual step backward at this point in the story for the MC to even spend any time thinking of the ex-GF, his dad, or the ex-boss because he's about to see them in the rear view mirror as his life rockets into the upper stratosphere.
All that mental energy and emotion he would be much better served using to get his new life moving forward more, diving into his new job and making it better as well as showing everyone in the town just who he can be and what he's capable of. You don't move forward by constantly looking backward, that's when you run into trees.

Traumatic event? Yeah he WAS pissed, but he also realized shit had been ongoing for awhile.
You have obviously never had someone IRL piss you off so much that you were just done with them instantly. No regrets, no looking back, not even a "you son of a bitch I'll get you back!", just a "fuck this I don't need this in my life anymore" and deliberately ignore it and move on.
It can and does happen, and it's not shitty writing. The fact he immediately met the women had a HUGE impact on him "getting over" all the shit too. He's got a woman much better than his ex, a new job that's better than the old, back with his family, etc. Basically everything he lost he got back very quickly, and it's better than what he had before.
Why would he dwell on shit that's WORSE than what he has now, when his life is moving forward? he IS pissed at his dad and the gf, more the dad because he realized what an a-hole the dad is/was, but again life moving forward, stop looking at what's behind you.

Very good! That's what I wanted to read, a smart revenge, I bet their life is miserable now, they both know why MC left home, so making them even more miserable by showing off how good MC's life has been since he left them will be the final straw
sure, living a good life after moving on is all well and good. but in his shoes, i would definately be looking for a way to get revenge on the dad at the very least. he cheated on mc's mom too. that guy has some karma coming his way at some point. and of course, let's not forget his former boss. he swore he would get revenge on her after she fired him. perhaps that revenge can come through Edith. i am sure Edith would have no problem helping him out with that should he encounter Quinn at some point. i love a good revenge story.

You think the asshole father who would fuck his son's girlfriend and a girlfriend who fucked her boyfriend's father would care or feel anything about what the MC doing with his life ? they would be having a blast without him in the picture anymore it's obvious they're horrible people and something horrible should happen to them or they would go scot freeVery good! That's what I wanted to read, a smart revenge, I bet their life is miserable now, they both know why MC left home, so making them even more miserable by showing off how good MC's life has been since he left them will be the final straw

Been thinking about this game and the debate about the MC going for revenge.
On either his Dad, X-GF or both and maybe his X-boss too or not.
If anyone seen my post before they can probably figger out which side I favour.
But I can see the other side of the argument as well the ignore them just forget about them and move on.
Or if you must just let them see how good you have it now and then move on.
each has merit .
However then I remember'd not just the woman he is now with.
But how he met her and more importantly exactly who she is friends with.
These two females he could also end up with if his Godess was serious about sharing him.
However as gorgeous as they both are you probably wouldn't want to piss either of them off.
And definatly not both at the same time (Shudders thinking about it).
As they both seem to have a very mean streak one more than the other possibly.
Both also seem to have a strong likeing for the MC.
And since the revenge on the husband Idea was mainly by one but encouraged by the other.
The MC really may not even get a say in whether or not there's any Revenge carried out.
If these two are of a mind to get it for him.
Just thought.
