There's pretending to be able to read and making judgements of something you clearly don't understand and actually not being able to read. If I tell you that the reason the MC is concerned is not because he doesn't get a free meal but because he is uncomfortable with the awkward atmosphere between the two of them and that, by this point, he knows it's futile to argue and just how dangerous it is for someone with narcolepsy to be cooking (better than you do apparently), which category do you think you fall into?
ffs there's a difference between being concerned about an awkward situation and only now being mindful of being incapable of taking care of yourself as a grown man and taking it as a comedic moment over the mote point that it is. Even his own friend has commented on this, so your attempt at villainizing my comment is pointless and grasping at straws. As for your own judgement in whether or not I've read the chapter to fully grasp a medical condition and it's impact on a person's day to day activities such as cooking, you clearly cannot grasp the obvious social nicety offering to pay or give in exchange a sort of collateral for the graciousness of an otherwise stranger taking care of you. An awkward atmosphere or a preexisting medical condition doesn't negate that his neighbor does a considerable amount for him, including rescuing him from kidnappers. As for the dangers of cooking once more he didn't die eating his own cooking as a narcoleptic, what's returning to that life once more? Otherwise he'd be literally dead by now so he's owed nothing for his longevity thus far. It's rather rude to place your exaggerated discomfort over someone else's and then feel inconvenienced when your discomfort results in making the other party just uncomfortable and self-conscious. If you're going to avoid him, he as just as much right to avoid you and of course withhold the benefits of your interaction. To focus primarily on that fact you will no longer receive free meals is so childish and immature, when he should rather be focused on how he clearly insulted the man who he's inconvenienced for quite sometime, but still aids him due to concern and some uncovered connection to one another .
Tbh that’s been bothering me does the author actually contribute to paying for the groceries he’s constantly mooching off on. Besides falling asleep everywhere, being a beacon of trouble, and his writing ability he’s kind of honestly not my first pick for a stable partner let alone person. I don’t mind fictional man childs but honestly how has our mc survived up until this point it’s kind of shameless how he didn’t even put up a fight when the neighbor decided to take care of all his needs, there’s at least trying to save face and attempt at being self deprecating ,humble with a refusal. instead of shamelessly thinking now there goes my free meal ticket when faced with the reality of might as well end your lease because you live at your neighbors free with all the benefits .
