crazy take but Muchan deserved better, out of all the cookie cutters he atleast had some edges to him that was interesting and having him be used as a way for MC to proudly realize his feelings for ML is low-key ass for me, the kid was obviously a fucking idiot and assaulting someone definitely got him on mc's hit list so I'm not surprised they're aggressive with one another
But... At the same time, he atleast had multitude and could have actually been a really good character study through the hands of another writer, cause he's hypocritical and he's also self ware that he's shitty and like I feel for that, because he is shitty and he is hypocritical and he doesn't make excuses for it infact he leans into it and acts like an ass by choice cause he knows deep in his heart... The author will never give him a break from his feelings LMAOOOO
