the reading comprehension devil gonna jinja kill us bro
(Kissing when someone is in distress or having a panic attack is such a tired trope and entirely inappropriate, Byul is getting hated on for lashing out when he’s a hormonal child (+ he immediately regrets it) and then saying they’d beat his ass with a belt while at the same time bringing up hyesung’s abuse and then there’s people saying that Byul being abandoned while Hyesung was coerced into having him + in post partum is = to being knowingly abandoned to an abuser and never contacting them until it’s convenient for them everyone is all over the place making wildly polarizing comments i pray most of these are just 12 year olds)
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.










Nari is so cute I hope she finds someone who’s also as insane as she is
