The degree to which the main character is incapable for speaking for or thinking of herself is beyond annoying. It isn't sweet or admirable that she never challenged herself and then some dude makes it so that she literally never has to suffer the consequences of her inability to advocate for herself. I know there are many shy teenagers who struggle to speak for themselves, but part of growing and reaching adulthood is learning to speak up for yourself. I feel so frustrated watching her never learn from things or try to grow. She's stuck in her mindset and her ways and the narrative supports that as 'just how she is'. In reality, adulthood will require her to decide when she should and shouldn't speak up, and simply deciding to never do it, never try, never phrase things awkwardly or make a mistake, means that she's much more likely to snap or build resentment later and say something very badly or that she doesn't mean. All the way to chapter 5 and no character growth at all.
And her friend with the spectacles (the content monitoring won't let me say the more common word for spectacles lol) is so negative.
