This story is good as it is, the unnecessary drama with the kidnapping and shit makes it more ridiculous than hard hitting. We know the father is an absolute piece of diarrhea vomit ass, I think conflict with him could've been built differently (and it already happened as the MC confronted him in the best way possible lol) Also, what's the point of that blondie existing? Even in the story, he doesn't advance anything plot wise (I don't like it when characters are used for that alone, but at least, he'd have some purpose; MC and ML grow closer regardless of the shit blondie does; the SA and suicide attempt could've happened without blondie existing and being there), he's not an interesting stand alone character and doesn't have his own story (which I wouldn't be interested in anyways). I feel like the author just made him as a contrast to the ML and to sprinkle in some additional tension and outside pressure on the main couple as well as some background for the ML (again, he has a strong enough background without blondie), but the MC is already that contrasting character.
