Agreed, Kip from the beginning has a favorite and its always been Tessa. I think they maybe wanted to do stuff with Aika early on but for whatever reason stopped any development of Aika and decided to hyper focus on Tessa. Aika is just there as the other girl in this love triangle/ comic relief. Any kind of interesting thing Kip initially introduced with her has been completely ignored.
In the beginning Kip established she likes to cosplay, that could have been a neat thing to play around with in the narrative/ could have been hot if done right, never comes up again.
Aika was kicked out of the church prior, why? What did she do?! Never brought up again.
When Saiya confesses to Aika that she cheated, Aika is understandably upset, and explains that she's not been doing great, that could be interesting, maybe kip is giving her depth, or maybe her gluttony is just a reasult of stress eating, nope, instead she instantly forgoves Saiya and we get a gluttony gag and they talk later butvstill, she is a massive push over to move the plot.
She's always been bubbly and nice but they make a point about her standing up to bullies, that could be interesting, but nope ot rarely comes up now
her being a secret Dom, that shit was hot, I think the last time it was brought up was like over 300 pages ago.
Kip will establish shit with her and just not do anything. Tbh that's one of Kips main problems they set shit up with no plan so there's never anyway off, and I think they to ambitious for thier own good. Like I agree that Tessa is 'better' because we get SOMETHING but even she doesn't have that much depth or complexity either she's just the best of 3 2 dimensional characters.
