I'm on chapter 30, and I had to take a moment to pause.Intentionally or not, the author has created a side character who looks like she has ED.I understand that there may be cultural connotations that are missed. But it doesn't change the fact that I find myself panicking on her behalf rather than cheering on the MC. And from the comments, many people feel the sameBut at the end of the day, this is a fictional character. The intentions of the author do matter.So for now, because she is fictional, I've decided to consider her as someone from the Capitol in the Hunger Games. The kind who drinks laxatives to eat more food just to keep the party going, and is encouraged to do so socially. Based on the setting, those from the Capitol have perfectly healthy lives outside these parties. They just party by wasting food while the districts starveI'm going to take a break, and then read whatever comes next with a huge grain of saltTbh, my immersion was ruined a while ago (esp with the previous arc ending... the way it did), but hey, the story's setup is interesting enough to make me want to give it a chance sometime in the future
