Don't like the male childhood friend one bit. The whole -- "don't mistake my sympathy/pity for you as romantic interest" is both childish and off putting. The "I've had many girlfriends before and I'm interested in cute girls only (implying that Yuki shouldn't think of herself as cute) and I'll find another girl soon enough" is honestly pathetic of him. I genuinely never understand how people fall for male characters who are rude and controlling and emotionally constipated. Not to mention the most important factor here is that YUKI isn't a interested in him even a little bit.
Yuki deserves someone who is open and honest, with both her and his own feelings. Who is mature and can communicate with her. She is so open and forthcoming..like she literally was so painfully shy, but she kept expressing her interest in the ML so courageously. He never puts her down, is never impatient and wants to expand her horizons but doesn't pressure her into anything. Just. I love both of them so much.

Damn the misogyny just jumped out of y'all didn't it. Like that is literally a 16 year old girl, a kid, that you're calling a b****. She has a crush and she's proactive about it. She has literally upto this point done absolutely nothing wrong. Fucking stop self inserting your pathetic selves into the story and maybe get some therapy for the burning hatred you people have for female characters who don't always do what you would like them to. Lol like literally not a negative comment about that boy who hugged Birdie impulsively but I'm sure if that was a girl doing it to the ML you all would've been out of your minds.

It's always like this when a second female lead or a rival female character appears. It's the opposite when a second male lead appears vying for the FL's attention. Then it's always oh my precious boy deserves better,,, I have second lead syndrome,,, if the FL won't have him I'll take him for myself, she's such a <insert any sexist slur>
'FL seems boring'... It has been 3 chapters... Were you expecting her to start doing circus tricks?
It has become almost standard to see people judging the FL and finding her lacking for absolutely nonsensical reasons.
Yeah I'm sick of it. I don't think it's wrong to give some critique, or discuss the character instead of just fawning, but people are so harsh on female characters. It makes it seem like women have to be extraordinary to be allowed to take up space. Reeks of misogyny
I don't think I've read a single story on here without seeing someone complain about the FL in first few comments. Like if you check out any 5 Manhwa comment sections with a female character I guarantee you'll find someone hating her for being - 'annoying', 'irritating', 'naive' or 'boring'. It's almost like it's following a script.
If anything she seems more mysterious and interesting than the ml. Wtf that man do? Be hot and quiet?
They're probably the same people who thinks the movie is shit based off the trailers
I would add also that if the FL doesn't know how to fight, is weak and and have personality flaws she gets instantly shamed instead of accepting that not every fl has to be strong and powerful To be enjoyable.
I mean I don't really like Mary sue either but I feel like they pushing this powerful trope too much.
I mean fl have the right to be sensitive and express this feeling without it being overbearing.
