It's refreshing to see a slightly different variation of people coming to respect the OP MC. It can be a little frustrating to keep dwelling on him not having self-respect so I do hope that aspect will be resolved in a satisfactory way. Not really sure where they intend to go for more long term goals, either, so hopefully that will also be fleshed out. Not sure how I feel about a stalker girl being presented as the otherwise supportive friend, it's still more off-putting than funny.
Not gonna lie, it is physically painful in any series when the low-confidence folks talk about their mistreatment like it's something they deserved. A little too real sometimes. But I'll be happy if this guy sees an internally consistent transition to a healthy outlook.
