wait did he just...

i was thinking the same but this was a flashback within a flashback so might just be the author realizing they had to tone it back a smidgen with the manliness to fight the BL accusations.
either way i hope they keep it up, she was really cute this chapter.

yeaaah, i wouldn't keep any hopes for this, i know how these things go, author is insanely predictable so he'll have someone r*pe the princess in front of MC and she'll probably sacrifice herself to save him from a killing blow...
i'd be super happy to be wrong but from the stuff we've seen so far it's all been super predictable and just "cheap" tragic

oh? actual character development and her evolving from a petty bully to possibly a really good person?
color me impressed

she is an idiot

yeah everyone gets character development, massive upgrades in power and skill meanwhile kafka gets... shit on... oh but he got one single punch in... then almost got killed and had to be saved

yep, the wife was just as bad as i thought last chapter, always complaining and when he offered advice she just insulted him cause "that's not the point"... then complains he doesn't listen, but he clearly listens, complains he doesn't appreciate her, and he absolutely does, complains about everything but it's evidently all in her head... she's just incredibly toxic and he's a honest simple straightforward dude i really feel like he'd deserve a better partner but then again they have a child so...

-wants him to see her as a love interest
-acts like a man
-dresses like a man
-styles her hair to look like a man
-interacts with him like a man would with a friend

that's a lot of mixed signals...

next chapter spoilers: the father was fired, son was punished and they still made their own company

so, non-chan was jealous of the dolls and marin is just having a full change to her personality, she switches from not thinking at all to overthinking and blaming herself without doing anything... this isn't marin wtf?

he "lied" but she sure as hell did nothing to help him get there either...

awww, new boyfwi dumped her and now she wants lil simp back...
if he doesn't slam the door in her face i'm gonna be so mad...

lots of jealousy coming from a camgirl...

this is pretty disappointing, the bad guys are all OP and smart and if they die they get killed off super fast, it's never really satisfying, just pathetic and MC and the good guys keeps being incredibly weak and stupid...

still super confused how these obsessed fans never recognize his voice...

oh... he's surrounded, well good luck my boy.

as of ch.27, childhood friend seems to have retired from the "competition" after understanding how badly she hurt him, so at least there's that

concept and story are ok, the MC though has a complex about not wanting to accept women into his harem unless they r*pe him, if they do that he'll instantly and happily accept them... it's incredibly dumb and irritating.

what a waste, cute guild receptionist liked him even before he was handsome (well, less ugly) and powerful, that puts her above any of the current girls...
guess they have to r*pe him for him to accept them.
