Welp at least he talked it out

I'm glad I didn't drop it and read for at least one more chapter.

This was hilarious. I was laughing throughout all of it in this kind of meta, bad writing way.

I'll put aside the massive over dramatization. When it got to the father not having a face and instantly being supportive of the MC, it was so funny. Like, there are few ways to make this more harem genre. The author couldn't have a deceased father because someone needs to give permission for the MC to publish his book, and the author already demonized the stepmother. The solution was to make the father as much of a non-character as possible.

And then the part where the MC just decided to move out in the span of like, two minutes. A major life decision to move out. Suggested by someone other than himself. He didn't even think about the details, and it just looked so shallow.

This was so funny. Laughing at the bad writing is the only way for me to get through this garbage.

Glad I'm not the only one who sees the awful writing. Maybe LN is better, but the adaptation is so all over the place...

 

[Shiirooooooooo]

what the heck is this bitches talking about. leave them alone is the best support you guys can give.

 

[Coliflow]

This is a little overly dramatic in the way they're talking to each other

I still hate these people with a passion, but at least they've reached the point where they've acknowledged they were the ones who fucked up. They're the reason this boy has locked his heart away from everyone. And the first step in resolving any kind of problem is recognizing that there is one.

As scathing as Makoto's words were, his step-mother needed to hear it. She (and all of them really) needed to hear from his own mouth how much they've hurt him. She was supposed to be a parent to him, and when he needed her most, she turned her back on him. Whatever shallow heartache she's going through right now is NOTHING compared to what he endured. At least she can still FEEL that pain. Not that she's much better, but at least his step-sister now knows to back away and let the guy have the space he needs. Trying to force the 'happy family' act to sweep it all under the rug, hoping he'll 'come around eventually' is NOT going to work here.

As much as I'd love for Makoto to just continue keeping all of them at a distance until he graduates, and then just disappear and go NC with all of them, it's probably going to go the reconciliation route, which is going to be a very long and rocky path to tread for all parties involved.

tl;dr-
That whole family needs to go to therapy. Including dear ol' dad, if he ever deigns to shelve work for a minute and put his parental responsibility where his mouth is.

Now I'm starting to feel like there's an unreliable narrator at play, because these events and the reactions to them are way too disastrous and hyperbolic to be real. Delusional MCs with a warped POV and overblown ego are typical in these kinds of stories. I mean, he's a writer so making stuff up is what he does.
Poor use of 'show, don't tell'. He's supposed to be a pariah but he's not even bullied, and people actually keep trying to get him to snap out of it. He sure does display this petty, narcissistic, gloomy, lone wolf attitude that's clearly destroying his life more than any old rumors.

 

[Baltimore_Kawa]

It is kind of too late for the step mom for all this time, let alone the heartache is still linger since elementary... that is long way to ask forgiveness now

 

[LilBurglar]

the story is getting cornier and cornier

 

[Elmithian]

I can't completely condemn the stepmom at this point. Clearly, she's had a lot of time to see her mistakes and she's been trying to atone for it.

As a kid once who had a really hard time in school and even past that, it's super easy for me to relate to the main character here.
And as a parent now, I understand perfectly how easy it is to make mistakes as a father and how hard it is to roll back and make up for it.

But out of everyone, she is the one that has no excuse for actions. She was already an adult. Not a kid or teen that are easily swayed by other's words and actions. Her mind isn't nearly as malleable as that of the other kids. They at least have some excuses. She has none. Zero. Nada.

Seriously, I think I have mentioned it in other mangas discussions, but my mother was very mentally abusive. It wasn't until I was around 20 when she realized the mental damage she had done and started trying to make up for it.

Do I still love her after all that? Yes. Do I hate her? Also yes.
But over the past 13 years she has made constant effort in being more understanding, listening and respecting boundaries, personal space and so on. To the point that the hate has lessened by a huge degree. Not gone mind you. I don't think it will ever be fully gone. But nowadays I can actually care for her and deal with her on daily basis without my heart going wild and my hands shaking from stress and fear. Merely a dull ache in my chest. Hugs from her still feel unpleasant though.

Well, my point being, I can see the other girls being able to make up for their actions in one way or another by genuinely showing their sincerity. It won't heal their relationships, but it should help his wounds to heal. But the mother? She is going to have a lifetime of work to make up for her deeds.

 

[Bearman851]

"Not their fault"
DAMN RIGHT IS IT THEIR FAULT! THEY SAT AROUND, SLANDERED YOUR NAME, AND LET YOUR NAME BE SLANDERED.
This might be the worst shit I've read since the convenience store manga with that girl who can MAGICALLY loses all of her memories as a trauma mechanism or smth... this shit is ass.

 

[Coldlight]

You know he's broken so badly when even he doesn't assign blame to the three girls for breaking him, and he doesn't even feel any dislike, contempt or resentment for getting hurt so badly.

Finally he gets one more ally in his father. It's not much and way too late, but it's a start when Pomeko is all he has right now.

Wait, how did a confrontation with his stepmother turn into him getting told to leave the house? Although that would probably help him heal faster instead of living in that house filled with crying snakes. Living alone would indeed be a better option in his situation.

 

[shiosato]

Yeah man! Cut all ties and live a new life! You cannot undo the past!

Easy 4 u to say that, not even newbie novelist can live alone without family money support. Except ur serialization happened and u save some buck to rent

Dad went on a trip to buy milk and finally made a return. "Youre my proud and joy". Thats all he needs to hear. Im so glad he at least has his father to lean on. Even tho, its kinda weird as in the first chapter he stated his dad favor his sister. An overthinking maybe? I dunno.

This is a very heartaching chapter but Im really glad that he finally be able to heart his thought to his step mom. If the mom and sis want to rekindle their relationship, the road is long. Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery longg. Yall killed his fire one time and let it be more killed for 3 or 5 years Im guessing. Now way in romcom its gonna be rekindled in just one talk or night.

Please spare me in this one as I have never been betrayed that worst or near that. But honestly. . . . . Seeing all of em want to redeem, rekindle, and be willing to listen to him. Im kinda hoping it will success. But please dont make it in a very bullsitting way as its gonna rub everyone in very wrong way.

As always, thanks as always for the scanlation, Mangascammers

My dad wont even dare to meet me since my mom always scared him🤣. yeah, they are divorced when im 5

 

[tenshineko]

Ugh. This is terrible, un-nuanced writing. No one has any subtlety, and these girls just lay out a whole “this was my mistake” despite not seeming to take any responsibility just a few chapters ago. Why do they even want to be friends with him so badly? Nostalgia doesn’t beat the disinterest from years of not talking.

Well his dad blames himself for how MC turned out. He was always at work and wasn't really there for him throughout all the bs he went through.

NO AUTHOR, I'M NOT FORGIVING THEM, THEY NEED TO BURN AND SUFFER!

I did think the decision for him to move out was rather abrupt. First of all it wasn't even his decision. He was saying if he troubles them again with what he does then he will move out. He wasn't saying he wants to move out lol. But then enters lil -step-sister, now saying he should move out to his grandpa's place. Lol, and I'm like WTF???? Were you even listening to what he said? He didn't say he wants to move out right now she basically kicked him out of the house.🤣
That being said, that was probably the most considerate thing she's done for him tbh, and I think it is a good thing though very convenient that they have this other house they never talked about which happens to be vacant and in the same town too haha.
Realistically speaking wouldn't they be renting out the place since it is implied the grandparents are no longer there. (Or at least that's the impression I got). Anyways, it is rather convenient, I would have preferred him making that decision himself and finding his own place (perhaps after his publication works out). Anyways, that being said the little sis, is probably the most redeemable of these characters in MC's life. I do kinda feel bad for the step-mom, she probably realized she had messed up a while ago which is why she's been insisting on family time with him and her daughter, though I really didn't like her tone, she was so condescending lecturing about how he should move on from what happened in the past.
I take that back, maybe I don't feel that bad for her lol. She gets what she got, she should have known her attitude towards him, even when she's supposedly trying to rekindle their relationship wasn't helping. Yeah, I say feck them, move out, do your own shit and don't even look back. 😅
