What they're doing, is giving each of them an arc. My theory? Life has had the least background exposition because he's endgame. She will end up with Lee, Mark my words; which makes me sad cause I Stan Corey.
They gave small story arcs to each, and I think they want us to Beetlejuice Corey is the last, but Lee got a really small exposition slot, he was the first dude we saw her meet at school, and Corey seems to shoot them expressions of sadness and defeat whenever Lee makes it obvious he is in love with Shushu, as if he's all but giving up on her for his king. As if Corey knows they're the real couple.
In stories like this, there is almost always a formula to who the mc will end up with. It's always either the crown prince/king/emperor, duke of the north and (doth kills the highest powered character and inherits throne)/or the head tower mage (doth turned Emperor was always, secretly or not) ALSO the strongest mage of their world/kingdom). The ml alarmist always has black/ silver, or blond hair, although I've also seen pink here and there. Because Lee fits this, and there is room for exposition of his we don't know yet, it means there's room for him not only to finish his falling in love, but also for us to get the rest of his story.
i know were all talking about corey or swan but i cant help but feel bad for the other characters that are introduced, developed and made have feelings for shushu to then be given little to no screen time and even if they do its not really important, like lee has been there since the beginning of the story and lyvnes was literally given a full arc just for him idkkkk i just feel bad for them and have this weird feeling that im being manipulated to support either swan or corey ╥﹏╥
