Good evening, one thing that intrigues me is the development of the characters, although at the same time I am worried about one thing:
I don't like stereotyped characters or stereotypes in general, because in my opinion they are things already seen and that no longer convey anything. Sometimes stereotypes are classifications that come from our minds, we label people with the stereotypes that we have in our heads but then they turn out to be something else.
I want to tell you a story. I knew a friend who didn't have an easy life. She didn't have amazing friends who inspired her every day, no best friends, not to mention a calm or kind family or a boyfriend who doesn't think she's not a total loser. All she had was pain and suffering because of the bullies at her boarding school, who made her suffer for years. Often for her everything hung by a thread, she was very angry, she was hurt and she was afraid and she still struggles with that every day. But she never needed money, things that recall the seven deadly sins didn't change her life. SHE changed the way she saw herself, SHE decided to love herself, to appreciate the world around her and she decided she could change what was wrong. I'm sure that if Joel changed the way he saw himself and his world he would also be able to change what was wrong. Just like my friend does, every time. Joel can fix anything. Maybe some of his love interests aren't interested in this sappy stuff, but if Joel does it, he somehow fixes himself and others. This comes to mind for Joel's growth journey.
