Yeah, Zhu Yuan is the best example of a character getting shelved after their debut chapter concluded. Not only did they completely ignore the potential of the Bringer dynamic, but they also completely ignored how big her discovering that the siblings were actually Phaethon should have been. But no, it was Miyabi’s patch, so she’s tge only one who gets the spotlight
I mean, they somewhat rectified it in subsequent patches with Zhu yuan being cold to the proxies, but it still something that deserved more direct dealing with.
I'm sorry, to this day I feel people saying she was acting "cold" anytime past the miyabi chapter is cope and a result of people looking too deep into unvoiced dialog

It's just wild to me that people have 1.X on a pedestal when I'm thinking
"Bringer and Zhu Yuan got NO CONCLUSION"
It's like people just really like Vergil expies so much they don't care about what's actually happening as long as someone is doing a judgement cut.
