This whole arc isn't vibing at all. None of the characters are really sticking to their established personalities, the dialogue is weird, the MC's action makes no sense, Ben who was probably one of the most interesting characters is just being reduced to boring stereotypes and the whole plot feels like it got thrown out because the author just wanted to have some kind of a sex scene but the chemistry just isn't there.
Satisfying slap aside, I really hate Poato, he was checking the supplies with doc dan, they even specifically sprayed the pain relief spray and commented about it, and Potato said absolutely nothing and didn't come to Dan's rescue when the spray injury happened and before the match commenced. Literally this whole issue and everything that came from it could have been solved/investigated had he spoken up. Now they're trying to redeem him?
The drama is so unnecessary. Just communicate and be happy!
