>>53587311I'd argue Avery isn't a bad design, he falls into a very specific anime/manga trope (basically the feminine-looking mean guy who is typically either full-on evil or used as comic relief).
I think he's better executed than Melli, at least. Avery is objectively pretty and is a handbook example of that trope, he's just dressed awfully.
Melli incarnates pretty much the same trope but he's a lot weaker as a design.
