Maybe more romcom writers need to be taking Adderall.

This one could dial back the dosage a little bit, but at least there's forward momentum.

This and that volleyball one "confession, dating, they have three children, they retire, one dies, the other mourns and then also dies... in three chapters"

Im severely conflicted about this being way too fast but it also being kinda satisfying that I don't have to wait 200 chapters for something to happen

This is like the manga as a whole has the paste of an axed project with only 2 chapters left and multiple major unfinished plotpoints

Holy fuck this writing is brutal. Every dialogue is over the top dramatic, the pacing is absolutely shit.

How longs it been since he was going to kill himself because the girl he liked turned him down, for no real reason, then confessed she liked him, and now he likes some other girl.

Its so absolutely stupid its like a young teenager wrote it.

At least the "volleyball one=Chiisai Boku no Haru?" while fast paced it doesn't feel as rushed as this one.

Yup this guy manages to confess to a girl he liked for a long time and be rejected to a mutual love with another girl in 3 days.
His heartbreak recovery rate is over 9000:kek:

These male-catered romances, where there's a perfect waifu figure that magically gravitates towards an unremarkable male lead, remind me of the power fantasy genre, where there's a super overpowered MC who, time and time again, stuns and gets revenge on everyone who's ever looked down on him. I see incels and NEETs as the primary pushers of these two particular trends. Syosetu and other amateur novel sites can sometimes promote works based on niche popularity rather than literary quality. These works that become popular are often crafted to provide a specific audience with a sense of validation or escapism (or sometimes they're just what the author wants to make). As with any trend, the quality varies, and some works that resonate well with and are amplified by certain subcultures end up feeling more contrived than others. When these novels are adapted, the adaptations can end up exacerbating the flaws.

It's a bit like how 'My Dress Up Darling' took off in the anime community due to all the hype the manga readers were giving it. You would think it was a masterpiece from the way people talked about it. It was a really enjoyable manga for me before it fizzled out, but I saw the word of mouth and thought to myself "oh god, please stop telling people that this is going to be the pinnacle of anime."

Well... I typically complain about some manga dragging on too long in getting go the point... Suppose it was time for the other end of the spectrum.

As ever, thank you for scanlating.
