I know this is gonna turn around into a likely lovely, healing romance due to the ML being somewhat of a doormat and being a hopeless optimist, but it's personalities like these I cannot stand if viewed realistically rather than through a fictional-filter. The main character is definitely dislikable. Him lying and playing with people just cause can NOT be excused by trauma, it's explaination sure, but not an excuse. He has quite the bad personality and I for one would NOT bother looking for a relationship with someone who lies and plays like that just for the hell of it or to amuse himself, looking for another dose of self-made confirmation bias made real. It's just not a likable trait, trauma or not.
Depending on what exactly is going on with the potential married ML, this could be another dislikable part for some readers. Tho my thought was somehow: His wife ran off ages ago and he STILL keeps thinking she'll come back to him. It would perfectly suit his doormat-ish character paired with optimism. XD
It does seem well-written so far, so I'm looking forward to more. I hope the poor friend who played cool girl will get together with his curly-haired co-worker in a seperate comic. I'd love to see more of them.
