That girl is even more of a wreck than Satou and borderline psychotic. If you're so shallow that you can't see beyond a cute outer appearance and see what kind of person she really is and why she's doing what she's doing and what her role is in the show, then I don't know what to say. Rewatch the show.
You don't seem to have much experience with mental problems like that if you can't relate to that. Going back to square one is something I've done dozens of times with my depression and anxiety. This never ending cycle of trying to do something, to get over it, then failing and going back to square 1 is a big part of what made Welcome to the NHK so relatable and realistic to me. There's not much progress because in reality there is no beautifully constructed character development culminating in a tearful scene and the resolution of all former problems. It would be nice but it's not a realistic conclusion. No, people don't change that easily, but they can adapt to their situation and at least learn to live with themselves and start building their own, little happiness from there. Instead of trying to solve all your problems by changing into another person who doesn't have those problems, you need to accept your current self. To me, that was one of the core themes of Welcome to the NHK.
no one is trying to argue about him being some kind of ideal waifu the show makes pretty clear she has a hidden motivation to help satou and that her actions are quite selfish
my problem is with the character concept itself a pretty girl that wants nothing but to help you to solve your social issues is a ridiculous wish fullfillment idea by itself in a show that is trying its hard to portray relatable situations putting this kind of unbelievable ideas is completely off
and i find the case of character regression a very realistic issue for this kind of situation i myself never leave my home outside of going to university i know that this kind of issue revolves in a endless cycle of highs and lows where there is seamingly no progress but i still find that aspect poorly done in nhk
compared this with one of my favorite portrayals of a depressive teenager in the medium rei from 3-gatsu no lion his constant regression more than simply halting the progress in the series always served to show a different side of the protagonist they where motivated by different circusntances and the protagonist reacted differently every time
i find none of that in satou

you seem to contradict yourself in this comment. You say that a concept of a pretty girl wanting nothing but to help the protagonist solve his mental issues is detrimental but prior to that you say that she has an ulterior motive.
