Agree that it's hit or miss. initially thought it'd be about how the MC is a horrible person holding onto the past who has to let go to start improving as a human being. Instead found a story about the horrible MC letting go of the past only because he magical realism'd his way into gf who was contractually obligated to spend three entire months with him.
God I hope no one reads this sleep deprived rant but I swear she's part of a genre of love interests that's like our generation's manic pixie dream girl. Girl who happens to be damaged in the same way as you, but even more deeply and in a way that's more sympathetic, who coincidentally comes into your life and happens to be desperate enough to catch feelings for you the moment you display basic human decency. But hey, it's alright since by licking each other's wounds, you're both definitely becoming better people, it's alright to never find your purpose as long as you stake your happiness entirely on someone else's. Truly the zoomer dream.
