As per usual with this shitshow manga.

Lol but like...what's even wrong with Fragrant Flower? What did that even do to hurt you? The way you just replied I really can't take your stance any bit seriously, especially after I peeped your lists in return.

How exactly is Fragrant Flower mediocre? And how is Rent A Girlfriend any better aside from maybe ironic entertainment?

>A lack of interesting conflict, no stakes in the conflict, overuse of corny moments, a lack of interesting characters (besides Rintaro and Saku).

Interesting conflict or stakes doesn't necessitate better writing if the character relationships don't feel believable or organic, especially in a romcom where it's involving distinct groups of people who are previously unfamiliar with one another and are simply trying to understand one another better. Whether or not you think the characters are interesting seems more like a very biased perspective than anything. My own observation is that you simply find it boring on a purely personal level, as you only care for simulation, no matter how the nature of it is. I also don't see where the "corny" part is, either, like sure, apologizing a lot can be awkward, but it's the kind of awkwardness that feels more understandable and natural imho. That being said, I don't blame anyone for being slightly irritated by that, but it does lessen a lot as the story progresses on, and it's quite fulfilling to see even that little bit of change, too.

You say Rent A Girlfriend is "deep" cause we keep having to see Kazuya have mental spasms about every single little thing Chizuru does for over 300+ chapters? That's quite a weird observation and excuse to say there's progression. Everything is still basically at square one. And how are the emotional moments "natural"? Acting like complete nutjobs and saying comically forced and/or awkward lines certainly don't look like such in the slightest. The latest chapter more or less was a telltale sign to me. Who in their right mind asks for how many kids they want when they're not even officially together much less engaged or married? That being said, I CAN understand enjoying it for the ironic entertainment and chaos, though.

Well this turns out to be a more lengthy comment than I intended. Anyways, if you really and genuinely enjoy this, cool. I don't intend to trample on your personal enjoyment as you shouldn't with mine, and you had the choice to simply ignore my first comment to begin with in the first place.
