The story only gets worse from here.

If you were expecting the MC to get more quippy from here on,

he does not. This was not the story I was hoping for, and was incredibly disappointed by the

events up to the chapter I read. Romance gets s*upid real quick, and the people around him are pretty horrible.

I can’t bother to finish the story, but I read chapter 58 / 77. The machine translation probably doesn’t help, but the story became quite repetitive and boring. There is no satisfying buildup, it just gets more melodramatic from here.

Saori, his childhood friend, whom he has loved all this time, despite his trauma from her (she setup the whole situation where he was witchunted by the class, all so that she could be the one to pick him up when he was down), he rejects. And not for the horrible things she did to him, but because she hasn’t moved on from that point, expecting him to still need and want her. She manipulated Michiru so that she could reach out to him and basically monopolize him. This poor sod gets so much s**t its dissapointing. Michiru has obviously fallen in love with him, but he rejects her, right before he rejected his childhood love. I just can’t f*****g understand what the author was trying to achieve with this.

The harem is basically broken because she achieved her goal to get Assharuto (My nick for Haruto) to like her, and then she brings up his childhood friend who apparently cucked him, and she reveals that she never loved him, and that she liked her other childhood friend. Haruto confesses that he likes Michiru, and she (was supposed to) confesses her feelings. That she likes someone else.

After this point in time, I couldn’t take this series serious anymore.

Our main character doesn’t like her, yet she is still getting involved with him, and he has to swoop in every time to fix her relationship problems with the other girls. For a while I thought the MC liked her, but apparently this was never the case. Honestly, with the way the story is going, either no one is going to be happy, Haruto becomes gay for Shinji, or the harem fails because the girls aren’t worth jack s**t, and he ends up with Michiru. All the scenarios are not interesting from how milked the characters feel. I honestly cannot read this anymore. I thought I would’ve liked to read more stories like this with a clever protag and such, but now if this is how they are written, at this point I’m just torturing myself trying to read.
