Nops. If you check the novels, you will notice that this is the type of MC that speaks very annoyingly much without listening to what others say, not only that, he is the type that makes his own conclusions with others completely out of the loop and acts on them, leaving everyone behind.
So technically, he lives in his own world, and he will keep on talking non stop by himself.
