Another question that have been bothering me, but this time, its a translating to english question:
This manga ends with the protagonist thinking the following statement:
Im not sure if im interpreting this statement correctly but to me, it came off as a narcissistic and egocentric declaration: that everyones else happiness is due to the protagonist, or reading in reverse, if it wasnt for the protagonist, none else would be happy.
That statement kinda bothered me tbf. Its not like it isnt a possible characterization for the protagonist: indeed, shes pictured as a very knowledgeable person in love subject, almost to the point to predict every single outcome during the story thus she spend most of the story just telling the other characters what to do to succeed in their love problems.
The thing is, shes kinda pictured as an altruistic person thus why she spend her time helping the others.
But when she breaks the fourth wall stating others “owe their happiness to her”, it kinda defeats the purpose of altruism as she doesnt help for the sake of helping, but to have the others indebt to her.
Its a valid interpretation but kinda disconcerting. Sounds contradictory that a narcissist would came off and admit that nature, because narcissism isnt a “beautiful” trait thus admitting it means accepting the narcissist isnt that Beautiful, but indeed, someone with something “ugly” inside.
Thus, im not sure if thats a correct interpretation of this statement, if maybe it was poorly translate or if i read it poorly.
