Author really had me grateful that I didn’t jump into hooking up with ppl straight after a breakup lmao. This is exactly what I expect out of a slice of life and the author delivered with the angst! MC and his ex not ending up together made sense to me because of how much their relationship consumed each other to the point that it was hurting them. MC also wanted different things and the ex couldn’t cope with his lifestyle of wanting to go out into the field. But when the MC wanted to go out in the field while dating the ML, he was understanding and could cope with MC’s decisions despite knowing the risks, which makes them much more compatible. It was definitely a bittersweet ending for the ex, but the ex would not have been happy with MC the way the ML is.
