Bellerophon already has a good start right off the bat, and he unknowingly won Maybelle's heart just by being kind in episode 9. His ML checklist is almost everywhere and the plot favors him (the crappiest backstory related to both of the protagonist and antagonist, he has all of the opportunities to be close to maybelle because Rykell can't left him, the 2nd strongest in north Manor to protect Maybelle, and Maybelle's talent is a perfect match to support his unstable magic)
Rykell also fond of him (secretly. he'll NEVER admit it. Rykell enduring the crap situations and nasty injuries just to protect his disciple even when he really don't have to do it lmao)
I like Bellpheron as a character. Also I understand how the fl is going to have many ml to choose from, but I really wished that Cans little brother would be the ml. I feel like the story is forcing Bell to much to be the ml. That was the main reason I was about to drop this, but the drama and intensity is happing now so~~~ imma keep reading (●￣(ｴ)￣●)
