Oof. First chapter chad becomes...this. I get that, on his own, he went back to being all gloomy and shit, but it felt like she blew that shell right off him as soon as they were reunited. He's clearly conscious of her, he's clearly attracted to her, he's engaged and about to get married to her...it just don't make no sense.
How not to make boy fall in love with you: establish eternal friendzone early on.
Just feels awkward reading it half the time when, I guess, it's supposed to induce fluff.
Also that chapter 1.1 crap about drinking coffee while playing games at home made me think they're 26, but it's clear by now they're not going to skip forward and it's already been the mentioned '10 years'. What high schooler drinks coffee?
Tsukushitagari na Uchi no Yome...
Wakaba-chan wa Wakarasetai
Omiai Shitakunakatta node, Murinandai na...
An Introvert's Hookup Hiccups...
Nee, Mou Isso Tsukiacchau?
and Class no Daikirai... (which is the wackiest and most surreal of them all)
Argueably, all of these other MCs are more worthy of disdain than this series. Know your landscape before criticizing.
None of those MCs were particularly blameworthy. One of these FLs actively deceived the ML about her feelings out of embarrassment from the start, another hated on the guy (and repeatedly subjected him to DV) openly long after her feelings had changed, two of the others overcame the circumstances of their fake relationships and came to understand their partners' feelings rather quickly. Nee Mou Isso's lead is arguably the only one in this list in the neighborhood of this title's lead, and that's thanks to having to adjust to both the constraints of a very temporary fake relationship and (FINALLY) seeing the closest person to him his entire life in an unfamiliar and very awkward way.
