I’m not gonna lie I think Keios should just give up. There’s lowkey no point.

i can already see where this is going… this “2nd ml” is just going to be a device to make keios jealous or open up more to that he changes his views. i can already imagine what claude will be like and i believe many readers will like him. he’s definitely going to be the opposite of keios but that’s also the type that nicole doesn’t like. i believe she already said she might have a preference for awkward guys than the more forward ones. from the way things are building, keios is obviously turning into the “awkward type” that can’t express himself well. i don’t mind if she ends up with keios in the end. in fact i want that. but i also what her to do what she wants and to fulfill her dreams. i hope this series turns out to be long so that keios can grovel and reform himself bc he doesn’t seem inherently bad. but we’ll see. this is all “new” content that’s not in the novel? so we’ll just have to see what the author does

Because she ignores ML not because she believes he is an asshole, but because she believes it's something he doesn't want/need.
She is a dense idiot. Now with some sense of self worth, but still, a dense idiot.

I think you're jumping the gun a bit with him. We know from chapter 11 that it's the common view in the country that "A young, unmarried women of a noble family working a job would be considered disgraceful" and from even earlier chapter that having no fiance after graduating is problematic. It is a misogynistic view, but it's not a him problem, it's just the common sense in that country. Still a rude person tho.

You know, technically Keios becomes the way he is because of "circumstances that led him to being (the way he is)" as we've seen from chapter 10.5.

I'm a little conflicted. On one hand, Keios is the way he is not because of malice, but because he's just a dum dum, so I can't abhor him. On the other hand, reading these "Women becoming strong and independent" always makes me think "yas girl slayy" (I know it's cringe, but it's perfect for the occasion). One that i really wanted the FMC to get away from the MMC was "What It Means To Be You". But it slowly seemed like it was heading towards reconciliation, so I dropped it.

Yeah I'm conflicted. On one hand he can change for the better, but on one hand maybe it's too late for him? Even all this time he never apologized or saying he loves her even once right?

I hope the author not milked this too much and ending it in appropriate length.
