Basically he fully depends on that ability, without it his 0.
It is really hard to call a development.

I have to agree with this. The whole first arc was about him learning his worth as a person, and his wings were a manifestation of that. Then the second he loses them he completely forgets everything he had learned up to that point, seeing the wings as the only reason he was worth anything, even going so far as refusing to trust in the friends who had given him his confidence to begin with. Unlike many viewers I actually really liked him at the beginning as I saw his struggle as something that was easy to identify with, but my opinion of him dropped to rock bottom in the second half.
That said though, I still really liked the show in general and don't understand the seemingly common viewpoint that the main character's very existence made it completely unwatchable and negated any other positive qualities it may have had.
