Comments of chapter undefined of I Became The Pope, Now What?

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy reading this book, but the way he's begun to act with Xavia is really getting a bit corny and hard to read through. It's nice to see that he cares for her, but it's starting to feel forced and he's becoming over-dependent on pleasing her. Feels like he's downgrading as a character compared to the start of the novel. She's basically just been used as a way to easily hurt Sylvester, basically a worse Sakura. Was going to say this towards the end of volume 2 but after him trying to find fountains of youth for her and what not I just wanted to state my opinion here. It's your book at the end of the day, and I'll probably continue reading for the near future.
