How to Refuse the Route — Chapter 52

Oh, How to Refuse the Route: Chapter 52 has readers absolutely *tweaking* over Jerry's epic levels of denial! 🤯 The internet is collectively yelling, "Jerry, you absolute dumbass!" at his iconic (and exasperating) line, "I don't like men." 😂

Despite Ilya pouring his heart out, Jerry's stuck in his "NPCs and system control" mindset, completely missing that Ilya's feelings are 100% genuine. Fans are begging him to realize he likes Ilya too, and to just *kiss* already! 😩 There's a clear divide: some readers live for the slow-burn angst, while others are ready to throw a tantrum and just want them to get together.

The true MVPs of this chapter, according to fans, are the hilarious roommates! Siren and Julien are having the time of their lives witnessing the chaotic "friendship" drama, with Siren getting extra praise for his increasing handsomeness. ✨ Everyone's just wondering when Jerry will accept his BL protagonist role and end the cliffhanger pain! 😭
