Gotta agree with the notion about the MC. He comes off as this super beta who has next to no clue how to interact with women outside of his job. I was honestly surprised by what he said in chapter one.
At the same time the female is without beyond of a doubt (hope I am phrasing that right) taking advantage of this situation and for lack of a better term is the reason for her own dilemma. No guarantor, lack of info about her occupation and bad mouthing most of the places she was shown. The way she manipulates and blackmails him on a constant basis while basically contributing almost nothing is terrible.
I look forward to how the series is fleshed out, but both characters are fairly shitty however I'd up the female one more since she's not really that good of a person currently in the story.
