Why are all the forum discussions and comments on this show about the girls and romance.

Is this show not about the manipulative edgelord Ayanokouji? My king has no interest in romance.

I wonder if this is reflective on the fanbase. They try to self insert and imagine themselves in Ayano's boots initially because he is "cool" with a lot of indifference and "hidden talent" at the same time.
But as the series develops the girls develop feelings for him, and in turn the romance resonates with the audience as well
Or is it because COTE fans are just hrny + lonely? Let me know your thoughts

Oh, dear forum detective, your analysis of our fanbase is truly... enlightening. It's a wonder how you managed to uncover our deep, dark secret: yes, even us smart boys have been known to dabble in the scandalous realm of romance discussions! Who would've thought, right? But fear not, for we're not all just lonely hearts seeking solace in fictional love triangles. Some of us are just here for the intellectual stimulation... and maybe a bit of guilty pleasure on the side. But hey, keep those theories coming, Sherlock! Who knows what other scandalous revelations you'll unearth about us cunning COTE fans next?

I'd say there are more female character in Classroom of the Elite than male ones. People talk more about romance because the adaptation itself doesn't like to show us viewers all the details about the manipulations behind the scenes. If you want to talk about the psychological thriller moments, just talk to a light novel reader. And also, there are some people who actually think they're Ayanokoji, but please don't assume everyone who like this series see themselves as some kind of geniuses.

Because light novels like this are always trying to sell the female characters.

Just look how many official figures the female characters have gotten, a bunch, now look at Ayanokouji (the protagonist), how many figures he has? 0

ayano is interested in romance tho... the anime doesn't quite show it as well as the LN, but the whole premise of the show is how ayano wants to live a normal high school student life and experience things he never has. His face might say that he is emotionless, which is more or less true, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to feel those emotions. He is trying to change day by day.

@MongoDB None of the male characters are really interesting. You have jock with a attitude problem. A guy that plays soccer that tries his best to keep the class together. The rest are forgettable. I have read up to volume 8 of year 2. Most of the memorable things is when Ayano is interacting with the female characters.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Do you see the promo picture for this Anime? It's a group of highschool girls with low cut skirts walking down a staircase.

What did you think it was about?

Wasn't Ayanokoji supposed to be a genius disabused about life not seeing any kind of thrill in anything that may happen cuz he knows in the end he will make himself out of trouble ?
The only thing Ayanokoji doesn't master is how to make real friends with who he enjoys his highschool life. So if you watch it wondering if Ayanokoji will have his scheme be successfull you are probably missing the point in the first place. Ayanokoji will win anyway. What is interesting to see here is what will be his strategies and how will they impact those who geniunely want to develop interpersonal interactions with him. Which involves romance.

I dunno about others, but for me the main draw of this series is watching Ayanokouji play 4D chess with his opponents.

Some LN readers here will say that LN is better in terms of male characters and all, but honestly, it's the same in LN. The series just focuses more on the female characters. Because that's just how the author is. He's more interested in the female cast than the male.

Anime onlys won't believe it, but this series focuses so much more on the females, Sol and the romance elements than the mind games and psychological elements. Ig you'll see it in the upcoming seasons, if it gets anymore.

There are reasons I dropped this series, lol.
