My main problem is with Nathan himself. He has no distinct personality that distinguishes him as a very attractive fuckbuddy especially when he got both Ashley and Laura. I feel like we are just watching Laura with her boyfriend at this point since there is just nothing new with her doing it with Nathan or MC. You could switch any of the characters as her partner and it wouldnt be any different
I think Blurring The Walls did it better but that was just extremely slow
it is easy to fix Nathan's character stopping making him only a fuckboy and putting his photographer identity forward would be a great start which means less about some random sex but more about cosplay photography and exhibitionism. A bit cliche but it is better than nothing.
