Whiskey and the Nonexistent Fiancée

I just read Chapter 40 and would like to offer some personal opinions. The author's writing style is very good, so I generally don't comment much. The following is purely subjective. If the author feels it is wrong, please ignore it. After reading these 40 chapters, I was as confused as the male protagonist - being led by the bar owner's wife, being led around by the police, being scolded by the head nurse, and following the rhythm of the little nurse. The male protagonist was almost in a passive state throughout the whole process. Even in the middle, he finally had a hard time with the robbers, but when he woke up, everything was back to the original point, and he still didn't know anything. What is clear so far is that the male protagonist belongs to the classic "Asashi" plus wood type character. The other thing is about the shaping of the ex-wife. While writing about how nice, rational, and magnetic her voice is, he also said that she cheated on her and that her current partner is not a good person. This character is actually quite successful in writing, with both positive and negative aspects. But looking at the first 40 chapters, I have been thinking: Is she on the male protagonist's side, or is she against him? The unclear information makes it more and more uncomfortable the more you think about it, and you can even find it hard to read. I know these are all foreshadowings. The male protagonist can not think about it and be pushed by the plot, but the reader cannot. I was confused. Especially for the ex-wife line, how it develops in the future is crucial. If it was all a misunderstanding and then forcibly cleared, it would really be a "dumpling-making" ending, which is not acceptable. It would be more reasonable to write the line directly.
