For me, DPC's biggest mistake is that he didn't write development arc and personality for Josy from the very beginning. She was just an addition to Maya and her problems, a kind of DLC for a polyamorous experiment. Now, if Maya's problems are solved with a good outcome, then what's next?
DPC is trying to quickly write something for her, come up with a hobby and a new drama: identity crisis Josy "I don't know who I am", "I don't know if I love Maya", "I'm unhappy". Some cheap fast-written drama. It looks boring in comparison with a bunch of other LIs with their complex personalities and tragic backstories, Josy looks lost here among this variety of wonderful characters.
Josy should have just stayed the easy-going girl-next-door from the beginning, a tremolo/josy relationship doesnt even need big drama to move forward at this point anymore
But she turned into so much of a nothing burger, additionally got suddenly insecure and shallow and starts the worst hobby possible, ugh
I was fine with Josy before her identity crisis.
It was good that she didn't have “problems” like the other GMs. What's more, it was more or less necessary in the story because Maya had a problem that took up a lot (too much) of space.
Now we all get the impression that DPC has created “problems” for her just because the MC's girlfriend needs to have problems, and with Maya's solved, it's Josy's turn.
She could very well decide to do what she does (blogging, fashion,...) without going through an existential crisis. Instead of having Josy become a problem for the throuple, we could have something interesting about how the throuple will function from now on:
- Josy and Maya are a couple (they were before the arrival of the MC), now that they don't have to hide, how they're going to behave in public, how they're going to deal with it (plus it could also be useful in the route where the MC isn't with her).
- how do they integrate the MC into their relationship?
I think there was enough to keep Josy, Maya and the MC busy without having to go through Josy's identity crisis.
