Well, look at that. Red-head actually turns out to be much deeper and more interesting than I gave him credit for. He’ll probably end up being the conduit for the relationship between the two MCs.
The guide on the other hand is still just a tool pretending to be caring. His emotional depth feels no deeper than a puddle and it’ll take a lot of back-and-forth for things to develop properly. The pacing feels rushed and I can’t shake the feeling the author isn’t building the real relationship here. At least I hope not because right now the MC’s motivation and feelings seem really misplaced.
We’ll see how the story unfolds, but it’s rare to find genuinely deep stories in this genre. I do like that the author avoided pairing up two S-classes. that arc is overdone, boring, and predictable.
