It makes me feel pathetic because it feels like I'm looking at my past self. Its hard to look at. I hate it. But I'm gonna stay and read since this is part of the journey.

The thing is he doesnt know how to tell her to not go without making the whole thing more awkward than pouring that battle unto himself. He's more worried that what he will say might end up affecting his gf than him drenching himself in water. It sounds stupid but thats just how it works. Its like, people would rather not eat dinner than be forced to talk to a cashier. Social anxiety can get that extreme.

Honestly, I get the comments saying that he should've just said it outright but that situation was so accurately done, a portrayal of what social anxiety is. If it was me back in the past I probably would've done the same.

Ive been to both situation, where either Im the most proactive or that Im the most silent. Its just a matter of who youre more comfortable with. When Im with loud and stuck up people and Im just tagging along cuz I need them for something (like a group project or something) I'll usually just stay at the back and talk as less as possible but when I'm with people who seems genuinely nice and stuff then I'll be the first to speak up even if the other person is shy and quiet.

Someone already said it down here before and I agree with him. This would've been better if it was just a regular guy slowly discovering how much of his life he missed out on but no, its a 13 years old's glow up fantasy.

Also, it perpetuate the idea that you can never surpass talented individuals in your life, that your effort would never amount to anything since someone born better than you will just beat you effortlessly. This story is most likely just the authors (or the readers) self insert so ig this comment will sound annoying to you all but please take care of yourself and never fall into the same mindset.

Btw this running thing is so stupid since being fast isn't just about being born fast, I guess physique and genes plays a part but theres a technique to running too, there's also muscles that you wouldn't get to use much in everyday life but would need to run fast. We could reason it out that his ex just made him work that hard but still. This is one of the problems with this stories and with "genius" stories too, its when the author isn't a genius nor athletic attempts to create a character that's one, they mess it up for those who actually understand the amount of effort and time that you need to spend to achieve these impressive feats. Yall need to remember to never praise someone as talented, they will get offended since its like youre ignoring all the hardwork that the put behind it.

I wonder if the thought that bribing the other enemies with earth items like video games and actual jewelry ever crossed mc's mind. I wished he at least tried.

Bro dont compare him to Light, that guy is leagues above Light. It just makes me curious honestly as to what would happen if this mc met his ancestor and knew how ruthless he was lol. Theyre just very different.

I really think this line of work suits him better than killing monsters.
