Come on now, you know what you signed up for: A loser, pathetic mc and the classic cool heroine that for some reason likes the mc. These type of stories aren’t the best or most enjoyable to read unless there has been some form of character development or recognition — this manga has only done one of the two.
The plot is somewhat cliche and tropey, and the plot isn’t much different from any kind of psychological romance story; instead, the manga gradual teases each chapter to contrive enjoyment and engagement, which works somewhat well.
The characters are… mediocre. As expected of a typical loser boy story, the mc is simply pathetic — though, he isn’t unbearably pathetic, since he has self-awareness and acknowledgement of his rather ridiculous situation. As for the other characters, not much of their backstories are explained, and there have been quite a ton of disposable characters to drive the plot. In other words, the characters don’t undergo much or any progression at all.
This is a pretty typical story for its trope, but it is somewhat entertaining and memorable due to how many red flags there are in the characters. Curious to see how it ends, but this story is pretty shallow overall.
You guys know this is just my opinion, right?
