Harapeko Oyako to Motokare Yanushi - Vol. 1 Ch. 3

[Dyrem]

Bro... This guy is so lonely he doesn't care if he's getting duped by a manipulative bitch

If daughter isn't some adopted distant relative that nobody wanted to take care of, then I doubt people will like the mother, because from our perspective she just uses her ex with which she didn't have any contact for 17 years to take care of her and her daughter, because presumply her father dipped

Yea that's my prevailing theory in that she's not actually her real daughter. Still doesn't excuse the Ex for not really explaining their circumstances from the onset.. but well it's already entertaining if noting else, to see what contrived plot the author will manage to cook up so we will see!

Wait, so she just shameless enough to ask him for help 17 years later after SHE dumped him, by what it sounds like ?

We don't know the circumstances of the breakup. The friend just said "after you broke up" which is ambiguous. "After she dumped/broke up with you" would be specific and "after you broke up with her" would be less ambiguous but still open to interpretation. It does seem that the breakup was amicable but not desired by him. It could have been family circumstances or obligations, or she could have been a cheater. We just don't know yet. The way these Romance/Slice of Life stories usually go (absent other tags) it's probably something that was forced that neither wanted.

Getting there age wise and I have to disagree, lol. Peeps are not being immature, it is rage bait and people are biting. Small but important difference.

MC might be in his right to allow the leech (would say the same if she was male, btw) to feel better in his own home but she factually is a terrible human being. Even more so if it really is not his kid. But even even more so if she is and the mother kept her from him.
And, again, even more so if she really is not doing any chores or anything at all for him offscreen (nothing on paper for now). She is, for the reader at this point, the worst kind of freeloader. Prime rage bait.

The kid is in middleschool (11-14) and he has no contact with his ex for 17 years... Kinda sus for me if the kid is 14 most likely the mom cheated on him that's why she ghosted him for that long...

Now that I think about it, mc should really check if the 'apartment rebuilding' part of their explanation in the first chapter holds even an ounce of truth. I wouldn't put it past them having been evicted instead, or worse...

I honestly cant believe the author has the gall to straight up acknowledge the crazy background of this setting and just...ok Ima just make this guy dumb and not ask any questions. AND THE FIRST PAGE STARTS OFF WITH SAYING/SHOWING SHE WORKS AN OFFICE JOB?

LIKE...WHY DID SHE EVEN SNEAK INTO THE GUY'S HOUSE IN THE FIRST PLACE?? There is no possible "wholesome" answer to this setup. At the very best, it would be "everyone in her life also cut contact with her (on good terms of course according to people who think this is all okay), her parents are also all dead along with no relatives, and every landlord in the area has banned her." Cus apparently she IS working, but she cant get another place to stay (?)

Like idk why people are calling others sexist/incels over the 2 or 3 guys bugging out at this story when you'd have to REALLY bend your suspension of disbelief over this while just 2-3 chapters in...
