What loneliness does to a mf.

Ngl if I had nobody in my life for several years I'd think the same way as the MC.

This is oneitis at its finest.

I cannot blame her anymore, she's not "taking advantage" of him, he's just suffering from oneitis.

I don't think it's specifically oneitis according to a quick google search, but he is very infatuated with the idea of being with her again and or seeing her happy.

He's not obsessing over everything she does, and hasn't been shown turning down other opportunities because of his feelings for her.

He may have stayed single, but that doesn't mean he isolated himself or rejected others because of his feelings for her. He might have, but we don't know.

To be fair, it's kind of the author's fault for not giving more context/info on that. The author seriously makes her look like a leech, and it's already been 7 chapters.

Does she pay for rent and/or food? Is she putting in actual effort in finding a new place to live? Why go to someone she hasn't seen for 17 years instead of anyone else? Was he really her only option? We still don't know (we see her looking for a new place in this new chapter, but it doesn't look like she's serious about it).

It feels like the author thinks that the premise alone is all fine and wholesome from the get-go, even at face value with no elaboration. Like he can skip many important details and just jump straight to the fluff.

Not serious? I thought it was sarcasm or an outward platitude rather than a genuine answer.
