Frick I feel you so much... I really dislike Ellie. They have 0 chemistry and mc looked hella uncomfortable with her advances until poof he started blushing and romance started... it felt so forced and fake... and I really can't bring myself to like her. I can't help but want to drop it everytime she appears...
Honestly idk about other readers... but she feels like that work colleague that keep "showing interest" in that way that can't be called harassment but makes you and the people around uncomfortable and he doesn't stop no matter how much you hint at how uninterested you are... it feels more like he gave up rejecting her than he he fell for her...

I’m on chapter 78, but right now I just want to stop reading. Why the romance so complicated? Yuri should be his girlfriend while Ellie should be Henry’s gf instead.
