It gets much better as it progresses. The big dude seems like a horrible guy at first, but then he turns out to be somewhat decent, like the summary described. MC has very low self-esteem, but he's not the worst of the worst, he actually goes to uni, has a part-time job, like, he's not useless, and he can show gratitude. I'm looking forward tofurther development, this seems kinda promising. 👀✨
