>>47357561Well, it established the major plot points (and several minor ones) for the story. However, when it comes to Ai (the stabbed idol in question), the story was glorifying her (and idols in general)
>Loves her fans, even though she herself doesn't know how to love anyone due to her childhood upbringing>Works hard to appear happy and cheerful for them despite hardships>Talented and charismatic AF>After she got stabbed and was dying, she still showed no hostility whatsoever against the stalker. Told him she want to love him, remembered his name and treasured his previous gift - even though he was just one guy among some dozens thousands fans she hadNo one sane would look at that and thought "Oh, the story is shitting on idol with this girl".
To be fair, the story does show well-known dark parts of idol scene / showbiz, but it was hardly enough to make it a "le idol bad" like shit stirrers claim
>>47357698After the first part? It turned into a mix of romcom + drama (about some showbiz stuff) + mystery (MC trying to find out who his father was, who apparently sent the stalker over to kill Ai). Heck, there were even implications of fantasy, too, but the story hasn't touched it much
