I’m gonna go against the grain here and say I really liked this series, including the ending. It’s kind of cool in a fucked up way that in the end he was right about his theory of happiness: he and the book girl lost their happiness and the run and mommy girls gained theirs. But then again he died happy, so he broke it in the end. Obviously it’s not perfect, for example it would’ve been nice to see some of the mc’s perspective for the last few weeks to make the suicide feel less like an asspull, plus I’m pretty sure his own ‘pen pal’ asked to meet in the library before, which kind of undermines the whole reason (or did she just say she was in there without inviting him?). But I really liked the themes, and the end of him both hating writing and loving it so much that he’d kill himself over it
