Creepy start for laughs backfire badly, but this gets much better

Rating: N/A

Giving Jade creepy stalkerish vibes at the start (clumsily intended for jokes) was a big mistake.

Judging by the scores here it turned away many readers who would've otherwise enjoyed the non-creepy, fluffy, cute and even heartwarming later chapters if it wasn't for that.

Starting around Chapter 9 when

Garnet's sister Marin appears and especially by Chapter 15 when ! Jade starts dating Garnet, the creepy stalkerish stuff is all but gone. The manga got better by a lot as a result. I don't understand why they couldn't have done this at the start. Maybe it was a poorly written attempt to have Jade develop a little by the time that arc happens.

This doesn't really deserve all the 1.0 ratings, nothing very bad like torture, massacre, rape or NTR happens in this story. It's just battered by a poorly written start for the ML, leaving a terrible early impression.

This actually gets much better. Like 6.0-7.0 better rather than the unfair majority 1.0 scores this has now.

Unfortunately, it really is about a creepy stalker

It's clearly meant to be a heartwarming awkward love story, but the MC is incredibly creepy. Despite the review title, I can't quite call him a stalker, because he doesn't follow her around and intrude upon her life, but he does everything else. Has a collection of wedding dresses that he imagines her in. Buys an oceanfront property because it'll have a good view of the sunset that he imagines her in. Builds a house with cringy heart shaped doors and wall panels and built for all the lovey-dovey things he imagines her in.

...despite the fact that they have literally never talked outside his encounters with her being the receptionist. And the MC has an 'awakening' moment in like chapter 2-4 or something where he goes, 'wait, isn't this completely stalker-ish?'. Which he then promptly brushes off and ignores. He's not even sure she knows his name, because she asks it literally everytime he shows up at the guild (which is near-daily - he turns down all obligations and social events just so that he can go on quests so that he can interact with her).

To put it bluntly, he's a simp. A super, ultra, mega simp, that cries with happiness upon realizing she noticed his existence. And no, I don't mean that in the way that he's nice to her or something. People these days will label any male who treats women nicely as a simp, and I really hate that. But no, here the guy is incredibly obsessed with her, and is utterly willing to do anything just to share a few words with her. It's... painfully cringe. Like at one point he notices her unable to eat her regular dish (a fish dish) at a restaurant. The owner remarks that supply is drying up because there's a monster there. So he goes out of his way to kill the monster, despite the fact he's overqualified for the quest subjugation, and is therefore taking the quest away from someone else. And so he can't even get the quest reward. Just so he can provide a fish dish to the girl's favorite restaurant.

The flipside to all that cringe though, is that he's genuinely a good guy, has used his obsession as fuel to become literally the strongest Adventurer in the land. He's cheerful, and kind to everyone, and willing to work hard to protect the average citizen. He's also NOT being overly possessive (not that the author would even have a situation where that was possible, there are literally no other male characters in the story) and stalking her and so on like the stereotypical shoujo male.

Also, in the very beginning he saves a young female dragon, who is regarded as a national protected species, and so he's basically got a little girl wingman following him around, and she's basically the saving grace of this story. She's a good character, and is the only reason there's any progression in both the plot and their relationship. The main female lead is a kuudere, and it becomes clear she also has issues expressing herself, so no doubt without the dragon, there would be no progress until both of them died of old age.

So TL;DR: if you can get past the simp cringy main character's creepy actions, this is a non-harem fantasy romance that sugary sweet heartwarming.

Stalker

To put it simply, the MC is basically a creepy stalker that's simping for the Receptionist and each chapter i hope she just shows up with some random dude already married or whatnot because the MC is just disgustingly creepy.
