To begin, romance is my fav genre. Bunny Girl Senpai, The Quintessential Quintuplets, Rent a girlfriend, all some of my favs!! I love harems and romance in general. So that's not my particular issue with this anime.
My enjoyment in shows mostly stems from it's characters. They're my absolute fav part everytime. That's where my issues stem. Takemoto and Rizu, in my opinion, are very unlikable characters. I hate that a ton of the interactions were with them I felt it wasn't balanced very well especially with Furuhashi, who in my opinion, is the best character and one of the only genuinley kind hearted characters in the show. Her character really shines and is lovely, where the other two's are just really annoying and kind of unlikable because of how they treat others. And again, they were majority of the show, especially Takemoto.
I'm not usually against fanservice but I felt there was just a tiny too much where I wanted some sweet cute interactions (the final episode of this season was great!!) There was fanservice I did enjoy but at sometimes it was just too much like every other second they're saying something about Rizu's or Takemoto's chest, or poking fun at Furuhashi's. ): That's another reason why Furuhashi is able to develop best, she isn't always put in the awkward fanservice situations we see a lot of her interactions being a genuinley sweet person and not her chest being zoomed in on every other second. What I'm trying to say mostly, Takemoto and Rizu's character development was honestly hindered by fanservice and it would have been nicer if we could see just a little bit more of their true personality and not just them embarassed.
As for the more minor characters, Kirisu and Kominami, I honestly loved them!! Kominami was so refreshing and I honestly didn't expect to like her as much as I did but she is just so great!! Kirisu too!! (And I feel Kirisu is a character where her fanservice was done right and not overdone where it took away from her character.)
As for the MC, nothing major to talk about but he is just too sweet and I love him lol he's clumbsy and genuine, over all great!! I can see why people may think he's boring or a basic nice guy but I really don't mind MC's like that and honestly he was just great to see!!
Overall, just wanted to ramble a bit about what I liked and disliked about the show. ((: Don't take this too seriously it's not a very serious critique I rate everything I watch with enjoyment and not genuine critisisms or analysis and I really did enjoy the show and am super excited to start season two. If Takemoto and Rizu were more enjoyable characters and had more meaningful.less fanservicy scenes, and more balancing between character screentime (Furuhashi my baby u deserve so much better) could've very easily been a 10!!
