Not enough episodes.

I noticed that a lot of anime fans have been talking about this so I thought I'd give it a try.

I'm currently on episode 5 (half of it actually) and I'm having a hard time deciding whether I would continue watching it or just drop it.

My only problem is with the MC, he is really annoying, the rest, I can forgive. Back to Subaru; he is rude, talks too much, has exaggerated expression most of the time and throws tsukkomis (or retort, I just like tsukkomi's sound better) out of nowhere. Not exactly out of nowhere but let's just say that he has a really bad timing (?). I'm not sure how to say it. I'll just cite some example.

Sample 1:

Subaru: *wakes up lying on someone's lap* Is my head on someone's lap?
Puck: You're awake?
Subaru: I didn't know cute girls were this hairy.. Wait, that can't be right! *looks up, sees Puck*
Puck: It's just a thoughtful arrangement we made so you could at least feel happy until you woke up.

(Here comes the first tsukkomi, I didn't count the other one because he was just talking to himself)
Subaru: First of all, don't talk in that high voice! No sane guy confuses a cat for the main heroine!
Puck: Aww, making myself bigger was worth it to see you so happy.

..I don't know if it's because English is not my native language or just a mistranslation but I cannot see any continuity with what they're saying. And who is Subaru to tell Puck what to do?
Tbh, his jokes are not funny. I dunno, maybe he will get better? ..and for a SHUT IN, he sure is LIVELY. Even if it's just a front, it's still feels UNNATURAL.

Okay next one. I'll jump to the Mansion Arc since he is still bearable at this point, at least for me, but before that, there was this line that really bugged me.

Subaru: Nice one, Puck! Thank goodness it was before five, while you're still on duty. Thanks!
.. then no comeback or whatsoever. If I were Emilia, I'd say, "How the fuck did you know about Puck? Are you a stalker? Kimoii!".. then everyone says.. "Ne~"
Like, seriously, no one mentioned that? Well, whatever.

Moving on.. Sample 2:

Subaru: So Rem-rin (wtf? getting overly familiar, are we? Again, Kimoii.), you're good at cooking, but bad at cleaning and laundry?
Rem: No, I am generally good at all household tasks. I am also better at cleaning and laundry than my sister.

(2nd Tsukkomi)
Subaru: Does your sister even have a purpose? *shouting*

Where did that come from? Like, do you have to be the best to do something right? His jokes are getting lamer by the second.

Last example; it's about his rudeness:

Roswall: *Enters the scene* bla bla bla Beatrice, etc.
Subaru: *Taps Roswall's back* You guys hired a clown to entertain you before each meal? I'll never understand how rich peoples think. (Wut?!)

..It's not enough that he's being overly familiar with everyone he just met(Beatrice clearly wasn't pleased), he also had the audacity to call someone he doesn't know a CLOWN and no APOLOGIES thereafter. I know it's supposed to be funny but it only came off as insulting to the guy. There's also the bath scene but I'll be leaving that aside.

I think I've read somewhere that Subaru is supposed to be REALISTIC. The way I see it, he's just being a DOUCHE, which is a big contrast for someone claiming to be a SHUT IN. I don't know, maybe that's a new standard?

@MasterHavik So you're suggesting that I put myself in his shoes then. I'll try.

Okay let's see. I guess I did find the continuity with the first one now that I tried changing perspective but it's still not funny for me.

For the second one, it changed tone from joking to just being rude since he is literally just telling Ram that she's useless.

Third one, nothing changed, still rude.

About him being a DOUCHE, for me it has the same meaning as being OBNOXIOUS which is defined as "being a showoff or attracting undue attention to oneself". Correct me if I'm wrong.

Now back to the scene with Roswall; I see no other way of interpreting this other than him showing that he's somewhat an important guy who can look down on anybody which I think is within the definition of being OBNOXIOUS. I might be wrong. You can correct me anytime.

..last thing, I still don't see the REALISTIC part.

@MasterHavik Actually, I don't have any problem if the MC is realistic or whatnot. I just pointed it out because I see fans saying it all the time.

I can see your point about that "superficial" argument but no, it's not a matter of looking into the surface. When someone is annoying, you'll find a hard time liking them and that's it. I already tried digging deeper on his character, I understood where he is coming from with his behaviour but that's about it, I still don't like him.

"We're too quick to drop everything if it doesn't fits what we want.."

I don't get your point here. Fit what I want? Why would I want an annoying MC in the first place? Aren't you misunderstanding me a bit here? This is just my guess but are you implying that I have a problem with his flaws (not strong, handsome, intelligent, etc.)? If yes, then I request that you don't put words in my mouth.

To clarify:
"...he is rude, talks too much, has exaggerated expression most of the time and throws tsukkomis (or retort, I just like tsukkomi's sound better) out of nowhere"

..nothing about his intelligence, appearance, or strength, so yeah, I can forgive those flaws since I've been a fan of Shounen for so long that these attributes don't bother me anymore GIVEN that the MC is LIKABLE.
