these authors being lazy lately. reading another one where the girl was just /there/ but mc didn't seem to have any feelings toward her and suddenly with her sharing her feelings /he actually loves her/.
it's giving "i'm suddenly aware of you and just the thought of being liked makes my kokoro doki doki!" like mc here just starts thinking about her after his relife first kiss

And I just hate it, they could have stopped at him receiving his award, and thanking his mom after all he did all of this for her, he regretted treating her badly in his first life, that's the reason why he regressed, they could have stopped there. And in the case they wanted to include romance, then they should have interacted more throughout the manhwa and mc should have shown genuine interest in her, like what's this. It's giving "I'm done but let's just add a useless romance arc" author.
The author really wanted to drag it huh, she was like irrelevant to him the whole time now suddenly he loves her ? This just feels forced and doesn't even look good tbh
