does he not realize he picks the route? If he wants to avoid any romantic routes he can just pick no. It seems like he unwittingly triggers events but he can also go away and avoid the whole storyline if he wants to based off of the time when he was sick and went away for a couple years.

Idk if we're reading the same thing but your all questions and suggestions are answered already in the chapters with the reason why he can't do that!
First it was mentioned in one of the recent chapter that whenever he comes near any of the possible leads, their routes selection comes up and not once but many times so Jerry is just afraid that he might select yes either in them appearing suddenly or in panic! And that's making him scared!
Also yes he can run away but there were moments shown like that too when he avoided Every event yet the event with karyan popped up suddenly and way before it's time! So he can't run away from the plotline! And the bonus events he did, npc the hooded guy told the same he has to do what he's been doing aka following the plotline!
Don’t get why he’s trying to find helm so badly. Plus he killed all of helms past hookups? Maybe he’s obsessed with him, always trying to control him
I just hope it's not fucking Incest situation. I would actually die if he love his brother a bit too much for brothers.... ┗( T﹏T )┛
That did cross my mind too. I hope they’re not trying to go there with this
If It won't go there I will be surprised. Idk what's up with manga artists but they tend to be really into this freaky shit... Even if to show it in negative light... It's too many scenarios... He more creative than incest bruh.... ヽ(`Д´)ノ
No you’re literally right idk why they do that a lot
