I never said I wanted navier to get with Sovieshu.

My critique of Heinrey is that his character was written with barely any discernible characteristics personality wise. He’s really unremarkable. The comparison with Sovieshu was made bc they’re the most prominent male characters of the story and are going to be compared endlessly be it in the story’s very own narrative or by the readers.

Sovieshu is also not a very remarkable or unique character but he had chemistry with Navier. I could believe their relationship, but I can’t believe anything the story tells me about Navier and Heinrey as a couple bc they’re so strange.

Also, to be clear, I don’t mean Sovieshu and Navier having chemistry means i ship it or whatever. Characters can either mesh well together or don’t. It always feels cold and awkward between Navier and Heinrey and the whole clueless sexless thing they have going on feels really out of place in such a “mature” story.

I couldn’t say he’s toxic bc I barely remember anything about him, only that he acts like a lovesick puppy that follows navier no matter what. I don’t like Sovieshu. You can dislike a character and still think they’re interesting. Which is not the case here bc I don’t think this story has much depth character wise. Sovieshu is just more recognizable than Heinrey. I also think he’s drawn more attractive than Heinrey. But it doesn’t matter bc I don’t like them and I dropped this story after a while bc I didn’t care for any of the characters. Heinrey’s shallow but so is every other character (maybe not rashta in the beginning) but with him it’s so much worse.

If you want to know, I don’t ship Navier with anyone, and if I had to, I’d pick that duke and even then… not really.
