funny comments

 

[Naovhi]

I've heard that people who are used to being alone will develop a character that makes them prefer to stay away from other people

I think the mc is pretty spot on

For the newcomers wondering don't worry the threat issue gets addressed in the manga, so you can go ahead and keep reaing this manga it's very good and the romantic chemistry between those two is very enjoyable while maintaining all the technical explanation about camping yadda yadda (I'm only here for the romance, tho), here's some spoilers to calm you guys:

Spoiler: SPOILER ALERT

The girl get called out for that threat by the Male MC's best friend (who's a cool guy, a genuine bro and a nice wing man for the main couple) and admits that she regrets doing it.

Also, despite the rough start, the girl quickly become a very nice and likable character and become more and more skilled at camping under the tutoring of the MC who also gets some development and start enjoying camping with the presence of another person (he enjoyed to camp with his father and probably his parents death in his teenager years made him a more reserved person, since he kept pushing his schoolmates away without any of them doing any harm to him and only the MC's best friend managed to become friends with him after being very insistent).

The MC and FMC start getting closer and closer to the point the MC start opening up with her and missing her presence when he's camping solo (but he's dense and thinks he's only worried about her as a mentor, while in fact he's falling for her) and she's also falling for him without realizing.

threatens to accuse a person of rape

uses a person's food without consent and shoves hot food into their mouth

Hmm... I don't think you're a good person.

(I like the style of these manga, but she's rather... off-putting)

 

[Banesephy]

Nah, anyone that tries to ruin another person's life with rape accusations to get what they want is a piece of shit. No excuses and no forgiveness no matter how nice you try to draw them.

Oh joy, another one of those manga that over-dramatizes every insipid aspect of a mundane hobby. Heck, it doesn't even qualify as real camping with all those facilities within walking distance. Dude wouldn't be so smug with himself camping in the middle of Borneo or the Amazon getting attacked by poisonous insects and having to shit in the dirt, would he? At least the girl livened things up a bit (rape accusation notwithstanding), even if the chicken straddling beer can got more fanservice points than she did. She's the only reason I'll be reading the next chapter.

I mean, the whole point of this kind of manga is that the author finds the hobby fascinating, and wants to try to convey that fascination to the reader. If you just glance at it briefly without knowing anything about it, it may seem mundane, but to people who enjoy it, it obviously is more than that, or they wouldn't be doing it. Also, yeah, camping by yourself in the Amazon would certainly be pretty hardcore, but it's also not something the vast majority of readers would be able to do, since it generally requires a lot of resources and training and involves a lot of risk. What the MC's doing is a hobby you could actually try yourself if it seems appealing to you after reading this manga.

Also, this is a super whiny comments section, and most of the complaints are very silly. Like, people get so freaking triggered over a false rape accusation, but those same people will happily read a slave harem isekai and laugh heartily, cause anything's fine if you can't relate to the person getting victimized. At least in this case it's just a stupid joke, get over it.

And everyone's complaining about the author not knowing anything about camping, even people who themselves admit they don't know anything about camping. As someone who's gone camping, everything the MC does in this chapter is perfectly valid.

And then people make fun of the MC for not drinking his own piss in the middle of the Sahara desert. Newsflash, this is a manga with a realistic tone, depicting what could plausibly be a normal person enjoying a normal hobby. He's not supposed to be Bear Grylls. That kind of survival expedition may make for good TV, but it's not something you do for fun by yourself.
