This may be the kind of series I love to hate, but I'm very glad to see some actual progress for once. Now that the author is finally stepping up their game, I can't wait to see what lazy trope they'll introduce next to stretch out the confession!
You know, he thinks he's not a good match for her, but the random girl in one of the past few chapters explicitly called him handsome, so he can't be all that bad, at least looks-wise.
Ain't no way they are dragging this out for another 8+ chapters... What forced drama are they pushing to make it that long. Dude confess, girl accept, happy end.
It's going in a good direction. Now let's just hope in the next chapter there won't be some stupid misunderstanding that resets all the progress we had.
