Mm, more of this going on ey? Based on the pacing, my guess will be 2-3 more chapters before he does something actually likable. I'm confident in the author's ability to write characters, but I'm curious on what actual likable qualities he'll have. Based on the way he acts it seems like it should be "Naive optimism that makes him accepting of people despite their issues" (which seems supported by the summary), but the previous chapter doesn't really uh... Give much credence to that.
