She does seem anti social and I understand the blackmail take to a point. I mean she barely knew MC and didn't want her identity or what she does getting out. It wasn't right but I understand her attempt to control the situation. But she did apologize for that pretty early on so for me it was like a let's start over but don't try something like that again. I didn't really want to write off a character for mistake the admitted to in the first chapter. But I also like her bangs and when the MC wins over the "popular girl". Plus the handing holding and hugs are nice.
I don't really see where the bullying is coming from, I mean she gives MC shit but she doesn't humiliate him or anything. Plus she is pretty quick to agree to help his sister with her problem bullying problem.
Not that I am trying to convince you to pursue a love interest, I am just curious. I do think ppl that wrote her off for the blackmail are missing a good romance but we like what we like lol I gotta see more of Noa before I judge, I mean she does think of MC as an enemy, can't expect everyone to start out as childhood friends. I will wait and see how she develops.
ATM I'd prefer no one getting a bad ending, though that might change later.
I'm waiting to see what the dev says about the "rape" scene, he said that nothing with the girls will be forced, so I'm curious what his intention was.
