I don't like how Eugene has a sexual/romantic relationship with a female lead only to retain the just-friends dynamic. These developments feel fake with how inconsequential they are, they don't have any effect on how they behave or treat each other. All of his relationships just feel very casual and unimportant to him, including Lethe. Regardless of whether it's intentional or not, it is a waste of character development. You've developed Irina's character and her relationship with Eugene just to reach the most unsatisfying conclusion, there being no change in there at all. This has happened not just to Irina, but to every other female lead except Maria who hasn't had the screen time for it to occur. Eugene, despite his drive being one of his most pronounced assets lacks exactly that when it comes to interpersonal relations. For example when he and Lily kissed; Did he want to kiss her? We don't know. Did he kiss her when the opportunity presented itself? Yes. Despite his willingness to kiss, does he ever initiate one? No. Eugene takes every opportunity to have romantic/sexual contact with those around him when presented yet never seems to have the drive to initiate it. He takes what he gets and doesn't try for anything beyond that, this behavior greatly contradicts how his character has been described throughout the novel. Also, has this kiss with Lily changed anything at all? No, they all go along with their day like nothing. This "cool" and "nonchalant" character they are all putting on is not how normal likable people behave, they just come off as uncaring and banal. They behave like middle-school Redditors who think they are cool and mysterious for acting like they are above what others would usually care about, "Yeah we kissed, it's no big deal really". Another thing is that the bantering friends with clever comebacks every other line dynamic is extremely overused. He has this same dynamic with Nao, Lethe, Irina, and sometimes Dawn. Not only that almost every female lead (side characters too) needs to have a strong character and some extreme characteristic on the level of Eugenes in order to even be relevant, they all match his energy perfectly. The problem is that they just look like copies of one another because of that; Lethe is crazy, Maria is crazy, Nao is crazy, and Irina is crazy. If it weren't for their different backgrounds they all would be the same person, in other words, they are very unoriginal. I understand you are doing this to make it so that they don't get outdone by other characters but they are just a dime in a dozen now, an unremarkable female lead without a strong character that openly shows her care and affection and can be vulnerable around him would easily outshine all these mary sues. The last thing is don't focus on one aspect of their character so much. It feels like you took one character trait and made it their whole character, they just feel one-dimensional. Like Lily and her dirty jokes, that's all she does now. No character shows weakness, is relatable, behaves normally, or has any personality outside of their "strong" and "quirky" one. They are all Mary sues, which makes them very hard to like or care about.
