Great story, really enjoy it. Read more than what's posted on RR but theres one thing which made me stop reading it.
I love drama and I do love stories that make it hard on their main character and make you feel emotions. But when they take it a little too far, then it stops being enjoyable for me and becomes almost like watching a snuff film.
Its not nearly as bad as the story "Pact" by Wildbow, but man does this poor guy get beaten down.

He really strives to get comfort from the world, looks for the world to accept him and stand by him, but the world can't help but let him down.

And it does help him out on occasion, but it never feels like its enough. That's why it is great. But unfortunately my hope was misplaced, and the world is unkind. I don't think the main character is able to the fix the world, fix humanity, fix all o
