Having read the novel I can only say that Jigu was pretty much babied by his older brothers his whole life, and after that stuff with the stalker yeah he is hmm skiddish? He does get a bit better at the end once all the misunderstandings are finally cleared up.
That's great I guess. It's just I'm wishing for him to finally be more conscious. I think one of the reason he's still like that is because of his family. He wants to distance yet relies on them. He needs a real friend which in this case would be the MC huh although he's utterly clueless as well so this'll take a long time.
To be fair I am exactly like jigu when it comes to realising my own feelings for others, so I guess it's kinda realistic. I'm dense af too
I liked the plot and setting but damn jigu is really too much of a tsundere and really immature. I get that he's in college so he's still young but you know... I don't think I've ever been that naive and so full of teenage angst. Maybe I just need to marinate this more. Probably just need to read more fluff stories to cleanse the mood I'm in.
Edit: hahah got mixed reactions, it is what it is
