** The narrative clearly wants us to see Greg as a loving father trying to raise Steven as best as he can despite his poverty. However, it turns out that Rose was sending Greg money that Greg refused to use because that would require him to move to a gem-controlled area. So, his poverty is in fact self-inflicted, which makes him look like a selfish JerkAss. Not helping is how Greg uses getting out of poverty as a justification to send Steven to the titular academy.

Not helping is how Rose gives [[HeroicBastard Steven]] tons of love and attention thus risking Phena finding out.putting him at risk for Phena's wrath if she figures out the truth.
