The vibe to me is less about the guy in the story's motivations and more about the audience I feel like it's primarily aiming itself at - it's more about what I feel like the story is (intentionally or not) saying so far about how it sees the world working.
this kind of feels like Nice Guy Fantasy; 'I saved this girl from all those gross dudes hitting on her so of course she'll end up liking me instead'
the vibes are kind of unpleasant so far
