Everyone is such an asshole to naho and the reason why this story doesn’t work is because the mc went from someone who was self confident with themselves and happy to someone who is insecure and always seems to have a veil of self loathing to them. It feels like character regression. He wasn’t even bothering people before, and even if he had “unchecked ego” (which he didn’t) who cares? Nao deserves someone better than a possessive asshole
Insecurity is a bitch and i hope you can see yourself as cute again in the future, I’m sure you’re not ugly at all and I hope Naho comes to the same conclusion without needing to be validated by Kana and the jerks around him
Chin up to both of you! The world becomes a more forgiving place when you let it be (though that can be way easier said than done)
Rather than chara regression, I honestly see it as him maturing in a way.
It's painful, but at some point, he really does need to know he isn't exactly the cutest of them all (conventionally speaking ofc; his personality still makes him a cutie - & that's somewhat subjective) and that is perfectly OK.
Now, as he matures, he'll slowly learn to find his confidence that isn't based on how people perceive him (w/c, in the long run, is better than his og source of confidence)
It's a sign of him growing up
(growing pains is PAINFUL)
ALTHOUGH! I do agree, everyone, except those two new same year classmates of his and his parents, are unnecessarily assholes.
the way alphas can just get muscular without doing anything kinda pisses me off like why can’t I have abs that easily too
