It seems that way because that’s exactly what happens. Everything–even the plot of each game itself–is there to create desired angsty scenes. And if it needs to change on a dime, that’s what happens. There’s no consistency, and I don’t think there’s supposed to be.
Uh huh. That’s precisely what it is–more manufactured drama.
B1!M was an asshole, but I found him more tolerable than A, who was even more of an asshole in b1. N was annoying because all the “nice” from him felt so condescending, and even when he argued with A about telling the MC, he proved to have no backbone at all and just let A run roughshod over him. And F was obnoxious as hell, with the teasing comments and insults (seriously, who the fuck walks into someone’s home for the first time and starts dissing it?).
B2!M was good, and I really think B3!M from about chapter 14 until the end was good. The forced drama in Haley’s made me hate Haley for having no damned ability to read a room (or behave like someone with a brain) and was forced in there just to slap M-mancers in the face after the kiss and M walking with an arm slung around the MC. Forcing the MC to go there to beg for a place to stay after that scene was just unforgivable, in my opinion. M should’ve been the one seeking out the MC, and the MC should’ve been allowed to try to find somewhere else to stay, with M asking them to stay at the warehouse since there’s a freaking bounty on their head. After the asking, the bakery scene could’ve been addressed if the MC actually gave a damn about it.
Then again, UB should’ve suggested staying with them as soon as the bounty was out. But nope… wet pajamas. 
It will. It’s just another reason to drag this shit out for another entire book, with M finally “realizing” at the end of b4 (if we’re lucky) or sometime in b5 when more drama is piled onto this mess.
My guess is that b5 will be dealing with the LI’s trauma or something like that. I’m sure it’s tied to Sanja’s “vision” for the LI, and it really sounded like the MC will have the opportunity to cut and run, considering the way she worded things. Whether that will be forced on the MC or a choice, who knows. We don’t get a choice about much else with the romances, so it’ll probably be a forced separation. It’s likely what the blood temptation is working up to in b4.
Yet, even when they had no problem with the ambush, M somehow gets overcome by a Trapper so the MC can save the day with an asinine plan, when all M had to do was kick the jerk in the leg. Again, nothing is consistent, and it’s because there are desired “moments” that have to happen, so the lore/plot/character development gets upended to make that moment happen.
True, the planning and execution are terrible. I’m a completionist, though, and with the exception of a select few things that would make me walk away from the series, I have to keep going, even if it continues to be poorly done.
like bro disagrees with everything Anwar does but doesn’t question it? and if we question him, he just slaps us with the “iThs mAgIc yU wUthnt uNdeRsThanth” shtick. Okay sure it’s magic that is WAY beyond our understanding and goes deeper than love but at least the reader should see how it all happened, Otherwise it just seems like Sin is the dumbest person to exist (there’s a lotta competition for that in Wayhaven) falling for a scam that a 5 year old would laugh at.
