For some, we like drama even if it is counterproductive, we want to see conflict, to see the world burn.
She is the daughter of the club's owner, so if your Edwin is so dumb to think it is a good thing seduce Hana, in order to strengthen his position inside the club, cheating on her in the meantime, then that behaviour makes sense.
I guess this happens when you do drink the bath water.
I´m probably just pilling on, and far from me to tell you how to play the game, but as someone who also tries to be the good guy in every game I play, I also took the opportunity to be with Mina behind Ian´s back. First, I really don´t like Ian. I know the MC is supposed to be bffs with him, but I personally don´t see why. Second, the way he treats Mina is just awful. Constantly cheating on her, and even when they are together he either doesn´t pay her attention or starts flirting with other girls in plain sight. Mina is wasted on a guy like him.
The simple fact is he never really cared for her to begin with. For him she was somewhat of a trophy girlfriend to satisfy his needs and to show her off, but he never seemed to have any problems with hurting her feelings or cheating on her. I can understand the "bros before hoes" mentality and I would normally agree, but Ian really had it coming. If anything it would actually do him good to be cheated on and to understand how that feels, but I doubt he would learn from that anyway.
Yeah, if someone views women with derision to begin with then getting cheated on is only going to serve as a "proof" that they're right to think so badly of them all along, instead of a reason for some self-reflection.
Could be, but I'm not even sure that is fully the case with him. It mighty simply be that he hasn't been together with woman he actually has feelings for.
Are we sure he doesn't know that porn already? Edwin found it on his own, right?Do you want to destroy Ian? Show him the porn of Edwin's mom
Ian treats women like bitches but not Edwin's mother. On the other hand Edwin is his brother from another mother. Wouldn't he has said something about the videos? Like bro, there are videos of your mom out there, let's try to take it down or smth.Are we sure he doesn't know that porn already? Edwin found it on his own, right?
I don't know...would he really be the guy for a talk like that?
I disagree. I mean, Ian shrugs, sure, but the shrug is performative; it's him acting the way he thinks he's supposed to act. We see clearly in Chapter 4 Update 1 that Mina's break-up *does* bother him, even if he's far too self-absorbed to understand why.
Being around the club and surrounded by the type of people that frequent the club has definitely fucked up the way he views women. Mina seems to be more of a pet than a person to him. It´s like he think women don´t have feelings or personalities, they´re just meat with holes for him to use. He also has problems at home. I´m not remembering the details, but I know his mom definitely messed him up in the head with the way she raised him. I´m with you, I doubt he will learn anything.Could be, but I'm not even sure that is fully the case with him. It mighty simply be that he hasn't been together with woman he actually has feelings for.
I think the most telling of his scenes is pretty early in the game when Edwin goes out with him, Mina and Felicia and he deliberately pisses Mina off, because that means she will put more effort into the sex with him later. He so doesn't care about making her feel bad, he just thinks about himself. So...might be the case that he just sees women as a tool and the Club really won't help him getting rid off that mentality.
I could see it as possible argument if Mina actually told Ian that she has cheated on him. But she doesn't. Unless Edwin for some reason decides to break that news to Ian himself, his potential decision to get involved with Mina has no impact on Ian's takeaway and subsequent behavior/conclusions.
Eh, just because Mina and the MC won't tell him directly doesn't mean Ian won't learn about it. These secrets have a way of coming out, especially since the MC and Mina continue to see each other afterwards and Ian drops by unannounced all the time. Plus, the MC's so caught up in debating his own morality that I think it's a good habit to act in ways that reinforce the side I favor.
