Foxy yet one scene ruins Adele's character

Adele has a nice characterization. she is active and isn't a pushover. she complements Felix. And yes, she has the strong independent woman feel to her. which highlights her flaw, pride.

she tends to make decisions for Felix and this happens because Felix can be romantically passive, but she go overboard with cutting him short or assuming his answer. she's impatient and the author fuels it with the lack of assertiveness in Felix's part. so, yeah, i guess there's a reason for Adele to take matters on her own because she's the type to want straightforward answers.

if i have a mjor pet peeve, it's ch76. Adele is going on about how Felix is indecisive and didn't listen to Noah about what Adele wants.

BUT! Adele didn't listen nor even care when Felix shared his reasons for being clueless. He mentioned his trauma yet Adele didn't take note of it. instead, she's still hung up over her own wedding proposal. it was an opportunity to show Adele's empathic personality to know more about Felix especially because of the ring conundrum during the first arc (like come on, she's not curious about Felix at all?). Instead, I see Felix pushed to the corner with a roundabout flamboyance to show Adele he loves her. yes it's also politics, but the direction the story went made it as if Felix's feelings are trivial. like, Adele shared her own indecisiveness and Felix understood those. but Adele just brushed Felix's indecisiveness as a weakness.

that's why even if Adele is really just a character who wants to be secured of her own love life (which is commendable), that ONE scene made her heartless and selfish instead.

    I agree. I also felt that the proposal arc was slightly unnecessary due to that. The author wanted to tie things together, that i can understand. But the delivery was slightly flawed there.
