I'm waiting to catch up with the official chapters, but even as someone who kind of preferred a jo+Ian endgame, I'm not upset with ian+tj endgame because as far as I can tell, that would never have happened without jo. Ian and tj couldn't be together if tj stayed enmeshed in and ascending the ranks of the gang, and if I'm interpreting the spoiler I just glanced at correctly, it seems like he lost that - the gang is either defunct or undergoing massive restructuring in TJ's favor? it's one thing to be upset that the character you liked didn't "win", especially if the "other side" makes for poor "winners" (that's totally fair and warranted), but I don't think it's bad writing. undercooked in some ways/for some characters, yeah. I'd say the creator overextended theirself. but it seems to me that TJ and Ian ending up together in this particular way, in this particular circumstance makes sense as a resolution to their respective character conflicts. and it doesn't happen without jo! (even though it sucks for him to be sucked into all that with evidently nothing to show for it) (/TДT)/ at least he's still alive and not in prison?
