This series is FAR from being mentally or emotionally complicated, and I am honestly baffled that some commenters still don't get why Youta is acting like that, if they are being genuine that is. There's also some guy telling Youta to "get over it".
Is there an epidemic of a lack of empathy? Are they just young, naive, and/or immature readers that have never been hurt before? Lack reading comprehension? Brainrot from Xwitter or Tiktok? Trolls? Is Solo Leveling their favorite series? All of the above? What the fuck is going on 😅
Every girl. EVERY. GIRL. That Youta has interacted with has used him to get to his brother. Except Houjou, but he doesn't know that she likes him yet unless she states it outright. He has NO reason to let his guard down with her.
