The main plot is the heroine is a bind maiden who solves incidents and in the first arc she has to help a shy boy reconcile with his former childhood friends that he bullied when they were children, but the problem is that he's mostly pushed from place to place until the last chapter of his arc or relies on either the heroine, his dad who also needs help with his passivity himself or the other love interests for ways to reach his rivals, how to make him more of a key player in his story?
Help! My MLI is extremely passive
He could be motivated by the fact that he wants to become a better person, and let that motivation have him make active decisions in the plot-so he actively tries to better himself to make up for his past, and that reflects in how he acts and what he does
Thanks for the advice :D
