There's credit to be given to the author for really writing a "useless human". You really don't feel pleased as a reader to see the way he acts, and you find yourself frustrated with his actions every time, which is how someone looking on should feel about a person who lives in that self-destructing headspace. I'm really glad he's not just "occasionally the best guy of all time" nor does he get many silver linings, but instead he genuinely just kind of sucks.

Missing SFX CLRD/TL on page 3 and page 10, should say RUMBLING or something along those lines.

Missing CLRD/TL in some of the boxes on page 10.

There's also some minor grammar/punctuation issues here and there.

In Page 3 (and page 18) the lack of sfx is deliberate as I think the SFX is ubiquitous enough for the reader to understand even without TL/TS, but you're right, I should have at least included a TS alongside.

Page 10 textboxes (Schon,美しい,Bella,Bonito,漂亮...) Are just "Beautiful/Pretty" written in various languages (German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Portugese, Cantonese/Chinese...), translating them would defeat the purpose of the page.

I mean, I kinda like him. He is useless but it isn’t like he’s wallowing in self pity about it (or at least not anymore) and is making a genuine effort to better himself with slow but steady results. He’s a bit too self-deprecating for my liking but I also haven’t seen his backstory for how he became like this other than he was taken advantage of in his former workplace and quit, so I can let it slide.

TLDR: I can deal with a “useless” person that’s trying to change over one that’s comfortable in their little puddle.

Gotta give it to the author for writing a truely loser guy (even calling him a guy is debetable). You can't even feel sorry for him. That's howmuch he sucks.

Yeah, I think that's what makes this story surprisingly great. To me, his actions are hard to watch, but the fact that he's at least acting is worth commending. You can very gradually see him improving and working to cross certain bridges(even if his thought process usually isn't the best), which makes him feel so much more grounded. It's refreshing to see a manga with a "useless" person where that person is not only slowly doing better, but isn't just randomly flawless nor does he offer many redeeming traits.

I reallyyy think the reason why she wants him to stay useless is to make sure no other ppl get close to him, at least romantically. She most likely has some sort of trust issues or low self-esteem (or perhaps thinks hes a rly good catch(?) ) that shes scared hes gonna be taken away. The less appealing to others he is, the more comfortable she becomes. Thats my theory at least.

What a caring classmate. She even checked her classmate's boyfriend tendencies to cheating.

Two women forcibly shove their meat in a man's mouth and he loves it.

Smh, I can't believe the author is trying to normalize this and make it look like forcibly shoving you meat down someone's throat is okay just because you look good.
