ABSOLUTE CINEMA

I'm fully with you. He had already taken the granny to the people whose job it is to help visitors. His responsibility to her was over, while he still had a responsibility to his classmates. Blowing off his classmates to do someone else's job was not a kind thing to do.Damm this is the first chapter i hated MC, I can imagine he needs to rush home to get his pregnant wife to the hospital but he stops to help an old lady carry her groceries on his way home… i hate this toxic helpfulness, it’s fine if you sacrifice something to help others, but you sacrifice others and it’s not ok, what if the wingman was actually sick, would he let the play get canceled so he waits with the old lady for the nephew? He eventually missed the play, big L from mc here, do better
That's some pretty sweet symbolism there with the tiara flying off![]()
LMFAO DUDE THATS FUCKING A CRAZY SHIT POST LMAO.
Grow up, you immature child. How arrogant do you have to be to claim that something you don't agree with is wrong? The OP is allowed to want to MC to get back and play the role. I don't like the story either, not on a character level, but on a lazy writing level, using obvious tropes and stupid excuses to make the plot work.Look, everyone gets to voice their opinion but you're plain wrong about everything but the fact that you yourself might hate MC in this chapter.

What a reach. This was a high school play that he was a backstage scrub for and he made sure everything was done and ready. Not like anyone made him feel overly welcome these chapters (stress as we saw)
He clearly would be there for the birth of his child. Jesus. What a weird choice to try and make a point.
Yes, him being somewhat of a pushover and "toxic helpfulness" are actual plot points with depth and I enjoy them being worked on but he went and helped two people lost at their school festival. He himself only realized later (and gained the confidence to acknowledge) that she might want+need him there and that he wants to be her reason for a smile.
Oh, how I hate character development and growth!
Also, the girl he likes is playing princess with the hottest playboy. No matter what you say, MC not seeing 99% of the play most probably is the best for all of them. All the lines, the dance etc. they worked on, with another guy, the kids and parents seeing those two and not him. Shit surely stings when you're an adolescent, no matter the vibes.
I think he took it like a champ all things considered.
And your point about wingman actually being sick? Well, lucky you, there is his toxic helpfulness! This is where one could say "why didn't the wingman just forfeit the role?". Would've been the best of all worlds.
When faking appendicitis turns into actual appendicitis later...He came through even though his initial plan didn’t work.
Background scrub or not, some looked for him, he was called specifically to come for fmc, he then still lost time looking for the kid, nah man, do same shit irl and you will lose trustLook, everyone gets to voice their opinion but you're plain wrong about everything but the fact that you yourself might hate MC in this chapter.
