grammar - Perspective of "億劫にならない" in this statement




顔面偏差値の差か、それとも日頃の行いのせいか、とにかく翔はいつも通り俺の隣でモテまくる。


まあ今に始まった話じゃないけど、翔のヤツこれでよく色々と億劫にならないな。



Context: 翔 is being popular with the ladies at the moment.



Maybe its cuz of his good looks, or how he conducts himself on a daily basis, anyways, kakeru like always, is beside me with the girls fawning over him.


... or maybe what I just said isn't the case, kakeru, this bastard, must (want/) to be so variously annoying. (kakeru is the host of a meetup, and probably doesn't want to get the way of the development of possible relationships).



Is the speaker not wanting 翔 to これでよく色々と億劫 or is the speaker saying that 翔 doesn't want to これでよく色々と億劫?


The latter makes more logical sense but the sentence still feels very strange.




Answer



「(よく/よくも) ~~~~(ね/な)」 is a commonly used phrasing that indicates amazement at how someone is able to accomplish something, although not always on a positive note.



あんなに汚かった部屋をよくこんなに綺麗に掃除できたね。


It's amazing how you were able to clean up such a messy room.


目の前で90歳のおばあさんが立っているのによくもすわっていられるな。


It's amazing how you can stay seated when there's a 90 year old grandma standing right in front of you.



So in this case,




よく色々と億劫にならないな。



would mean something close to



It's amazing how he doesn't get annoyed at all that
