26 chapters in and I really feel for the MC, I can equate his loneliness and longing for genuine love to my depression. If I was in a scripted play, that I knew wasn't real and kept me stagnant all in the hopes of never having to deal with my depression again.
I would definitely hesitate rejecting that false hood. Just the thought of never having to deal with my depression again even knowing that what I'm living isn't real . . . I would struggle really hard with coming to terms with going back to reality.
Rejecting something that makes your life easier even when you know it's bad for you can be very hard.
