idk, I feel like if he was normal this story wouldn't stand out amongst aaaaall the other yearn stories. he's annoying at it keeps the story interesting ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
That’s not quite where I was going … I think it would have been nice if the ML suffered a bit more and stopped pulling up everywhere with a stoic expression, monotonously delivering confessions … him telling the MC about his feelings was supposed to be one of the biggest climaxes in the story but it didn’t feel like it in the slightest. It would have been a different story if she had integrated an actual new love interest he had to compete with and have the ML grovel in silence because he’d thought he missed his shot and knew leaving him alone was the most selfless thing to do. To then have the TURNING POINT where he decides to tell him about his feelings, not expecting anything back and asking if they could at least remain friends … that would have been way better than whatever the author pulled … there are so many ways and directions she could have took with this story and lol the one she chose to go with is really …
I think the author needs some serious lessons on how to accurately depict yearning. She makes the ML sound so stalker-ish and off-putting. Also, the lack of facial expressions and tears on his part really doesn’t help
