This comic feels like a toxic relationship

So, this comic gives me such on and off thoughts. It has me acting up because of the obnoxious characters who always give him a hard time for no reason, just making his life difficult. Yet I like it when he gets his recognition and people realize his value and get shocked, but then after that the cycle repeats. Continously having ups and downs, but what can I say, it's hella good strategy to keep readers hooked in. All in all I can't wait to see him beat the shit out of that senior.
