This is the one! No Romance, but at a cost

This is the one! NO romance, but at a cost. MC is truly an aro representative that shows romance isn’t everything someone needed in life. Sometimes you need yourself or people who understands you.

He’s happy with his life as it is. I like how indifferent he is to others. They are the rude ones and it’s funny how they find it shocking when they receive the same energy back like he’s the bad guy.

It just sucks he doesn’t a very good support system. It must be tiring to have everyone including his own family members over stepping his boundaries. Ngl almost every characters are unlikable except the MC, the god of the universe and the bartending girl who specializes in ice magic.

Majority of characters here act like having a partner and children are the only status you can have to archive in life and find happiness. MC is doing fine with his own happiness and he knows that a romantic relationship isn’t for him. I’m rooting for him to have a single happy life in peace til the very end, but with better friends at least.

This is also opinionated, but the most unlikable character I find is the mother. She is selfish for guilt tripping him when she already has two grandchildren. It’s not like it will affect her in any way or form compared to the MC. He will be the one stuck in a one sided relationship again and it won’t be just him that is unhappy. His mother should have pride that MC is healthy, smart, successful and happy. What more can a mother ever want for her kids.

    Exactly! He’s a successful entrepreneur and he helps his family, his parents should be proud. They already have grandchildren. I know Japan isn’t know for their representation but please let him stay single. Isn’t that the whole point of this story?

    Yes! The whole story would be completely pointless. If the title, story, and the MC were written differently, then there’s no harm sprinkling in a little romantic interest. But the romance part has to be written well to be enjoyable. Tbh some stories can be better off with platonic friendships.
