Instead, this review is fueled by hatred and written out of spite.
I'm only writing this review to shit on the seemingly recent-yet-common trope of being self aware, with this manga being the worst offender I've come across so far.
Frankly, this manga is annoying, and the author comes off as constantly insecure, because they feel the need to remind the readers that "usually in manga or novels this would happen, but this is real life", constantly having to remind them that the way they have written the story is realistic and that's justification for it being uninteresting.
Yes, this guy has the audacity to acknowledge clichés and tropes, to feign awareness, all while trying to avoid them like the plague. But what does that leave us with? Well, definitely not a well written story devoid of clichés and tropes. It leaves us with extremely uninteresting dialogues that feel like the outcome of putting two introverts in a room and forcing them to talk.
Not like they successfully avoids tropes anyway, because they will still create cliched scenarios and execute them in the most pretentious/boring or ironically enough, the most cliched way possible.
They will have the MC help the heroine study (cliched development) yet the interactions and dialogue will be drier than a piece of KFC left in sunlight for 76 days, because remember, this is real life hurr durr. At that point I'd take the MC slipping off some notebook on the floor and falling onto the heroine instead.
This is not simply just a bad manga. This manga's existence is offensive to me.
