Like he said, he hasn’t meaningfully progressed in the last X yrs. Being in a real romantic relationship with him would hold them both back. She needs to be with someone more stable and he needs do stuff for himself.

Like he said, he hasn’t meaningfully progressed in the last X yrs. Being in a real romantic relationship with him would hold them both back. She needs to be with someone more stable and he needs do stuff for himself.

Actually, if she wants to accept the burden, she could save him. If he's just left alone, chances are majorly on the side of the dude not achieving anything and falling into deeper depression. But if she could keep him occupied and motivated to do something sensible with his life, focusing on concrete things instead of dwelling in the past, he could get over it. He would have immediately solid content in his life if they became a family. He could work hard for it.

What would she gain, though? She really should be able to find a better man with her beauty if she tried. But then again, it's not always so easy, plus she has been disappointed before. Maybe she saw him as a safe choice without ulterior motives. He's a pretty decent person, it's only his circumstances and prospects that are anything but good.

Lord that head pat after his multiple declarations of self-hatred really sums up these past thirty chapters 😅. Umm, I don't know. If it were me, I think I'd like some level of anger or stronger emotion to come from Asano about literally having been ghosted the past month. I'd like to know that someone cares. I think the MC really needs to know that. Like against all odds he's managed to make Asano really care for him. I don't think they should date with him as is, but I do think he really, really should know that. I also think that in theory self-discovery sounds like a good idea, but I'm not sure how helpful being alone would be if he's just going to keep spiraling into how "useless" of a human being he is. A friend would be great right now. A therapist would be even better. But literally just someone (anyone) saying, "Hey, I appreciate you." would be really good. Hopefully next chapter is one of those things.

I don't think people are thinking about the girl here. She's a pushover that agreed to date a guy because she couldn't say no to a coworker and torpedoed a potential music career to not hurt her friend's feelings. She's got her own issues. These are both not mentally healthy people, but there's a tendency to frame her as simply "kind" because society approves of self-sacrifice.
