A commenter two pages ahead stated that she wouldn't make a great partner for him since she did look down on him and called him annoying. Also stated that it wouldn't be a great start to a relationship, ya know dating someone who thought he was annoying.
“tbh you got hurt so much it became pretty annoying, I thought you were stupid and vain but you always managed to survive” -chapter 35
The commentator also said this:
I’m not saying she was a bad person but I feel like she did look down on him at times and that’s not the best in a romantic partner
also, they really didn’t have much romantic progress at all I think she was just one of the only people that helped him that he had at the time
In my opinion, I'll be happy with whatever the author gives us because it's the author's decision and work. It's not like some of us can do it any better than the author. Also, I'm not implying you can't ship him with the previous gal, but this is what I wanted to show you.
I hate shipping, but I like the healer girl from the beginning of the story more than this blonde girl. This chapter felt so forced.
