People are cursing Aira, but it's Okurun who should be getting cursed at.

What the he** was that reaction from Okurun?

If the alien/monster hadn't intervened, would they have kissed because he doesn't know how to stand up for himself and say no?

Do all Korean romance authors only know how to choose the same type of route for their characters? They all end up in this kind of shi*** situation.

Dude, if it's going to stay in this idiotic situation, just get rid of that guy. "It's for her own good," so I'm going to make her have trauma from her first relationship, because it's "for her own good." The writing simply got bad, adding a problem that breaks and regresses the ML's own character development, and the story simply became awful. It's like watching a story where the author just wants to extend the story's runtime with drama that simply makes people hate ML.

He could ask her friends if she was still single, he could easily find out, but it's easier to introduce problems into the story to prevent them from getting together. After all, it's much easier to hold the audience's attention while they're not together yet than to develop a good romantic relationship after they get together, bringing in all the problems that being together could entail, given the dynamics of their relationship.
