The MC here is much better person than most people I know in my life. I mean, the entire premise is that he fixed her bike without even knowing her. And when he was little he made a toy of her choosing and didn't think anything of it because being good is so natural to him. Guys like him are national treasures and should be protected from harm.
I do see what you mean - the disconnect for me is doing good things because it's the right thing to do, but then being met with anger and then complete radio silence (in when they're in physical proximity in a school setting).
You can be a good person, but there's a point where self-preservation should kick. He spent an entire day preoccupied over why she's acting this way, not paying attention in class. That's affecting his school life, and while we don't see it, it could be affecting him at home when he's doing his craft/hobby stuff.
If a person who you barely know gets mad at you for unknown reasons and then completely avoids you for nearly a week and you've
only done nice things for them--well, there's other people out there to help. Fixating on that person when they've made it clear they don't want anything to do with you starts straining credibility, outside of this obviously being a romcom between the two and so him walking away entirely would kill the story.
Which I get is why we're introducing a third character (why that character has to be another attractive woman is...well, it's a Manga Thing), to compel the two characters to talk. I just wish they didn't require outside help, and that either the FL got over herself in that amount of time,
or the ML took it a step further and went out of his way to track her down and push for a dialogue to solve things.
And I think that's my problem with it. The fact this second girl has shown up means that the ML & FL were never going to resolve their problem on their own merit. That feels like sloppy writing, because if he's a good person and she's in love with him (on whatever level), what point is there in them continuing this relationship between them if they can't make it happen themselves?
It reads like neither of them actually care enough to meaningfully address the issue, and so I as a reader find it hard to care about them making it work.
