nope the citizen doesn't respect MC, they got discount on cinema cuz the FMC is hot&hardworking not because MC, free bandages bcuz of their job, i forgot bout gym but i think L the one who provide the free entry. also MC doesn't have house, and he still needs to pay a small room without toilet to the point he cannot afford to go to onsen with his own money also the NPC in front of MC hotel/house hate him so much that whenever u pass him, he will give negative remark unless something to do with kana.
u know modern societies have more advance transportion right ?? with 1 finger she can crossing ocean in a span of an hour.
beside the FMC hate the city so much and without MC the FMC might be just looking the moon without contact with the citizen (there is a line when they moon gazing in park "this is the only place in the city i will ever visit without mc") then the next day MC forced her to work at maid cafe, just for "pls respect this old grandma that doesn't remember my name even though i work hard everyday for this ghost town"
Your version of the game must be very different from what I played, because I have no idea what you're talking about.
The discount at the Cinema had nothing to do with Kana. It's the MC that find the projector and helps the guy open it at all. The bandages have nothing to do with the job. The MC can choose to help the owner, it's not an obligation for the pharmacy owner. The gym is, again, just the MC, L has nothing to do with it. L only causes the bar the open, which is why the bar is such a problematic location. You... what do you even think "Respect" even means? Kana and MC are basically mercenaries/modern-day-adventurers hired to deal with a specific threat in a town that's literally dying because of that threat. What respect do you expect them do get BEFORE they do their jobs?
Also, nice of you to ignore the point I made about MC and Kana being given a whole house for them to live in once they do show results. I guess that doesn't count as respect in your book? Even though the town didn't have any obligation to do anything like that for them?
As for transportation. You think it's that easy to "cross the ocean in the span of an hour"? Wut? You need tons of money to do that and STAY there. Moving to a whole other country is expensive as fuck and Kana clearly doesn't have those kinds of resources, or odds are that she'd have never stayed in Japan in the 1st place. And that's assuming she even has the capacity to do something like that at all. It's pretty hard to move to an entirely different country and culture, and you have to find one that's willing to accept you and not spit on you for being an immigrant.
If it was so easy to run away from problems, people would be doing it all the time. But it's really, REALLY not that easy. You're not even thinking about the implications of quitting a job like hers with no warning and what that'd do to future job prospects when her company has international reach. To leave after the blackmail starts, Kana would have to abandon the MC and quit her job without being able to explain why and that's assuming she has the resources to flee in a meaningful way anyway. Kana's an orphan. She has exactly fuck all in terms of resources beyond the organization that hired her. Trying to claim whatever inheritance might be left from her original family would only get her into all sorts of problems.
If it was as easy as you say, people would never have to suffer from racism or persecution in this modern age. They'd be able to run away from it.
Oh wait. They can't. It's not that easy. People suffer from harassments and persecution every day. What world do you live in? Are you linking to this one via some portal or something out of an ideal modern-day paradise where people can just ignore any potential problems whenever they want?
I think you're forgetting that the two of them didn't go there "because they wanted too". They were sent there. The whole situation is a job. Arranged by L, in part, but that's a whole other kettle of fish. They're not there to live there. Their accommodations were arranged by the company. (And it's implied that L intentionally arranged for Kana and MC to live in different parts of town... and conveniently, for himself to move into the part of town where Kana originally stays before the house things happens).
Neither of them can "just leave" without having to deal with all sorts of consequences for it.
Honestly. Your take on things makes me wonder what kind of life you live, where you could possibly draw the conclusion that it's so easy to just leave potential problems behind. I also don't understand your perspective on respect, at all.
