It’s a fairly entertaining read in my opinion, and while it is a bit annoying at times (ahem holy sh*t the amount of plagiarizing Lucien did…) I wouldn’t say it’s trash. It’s like they’ve never read a Japanese harem novel with a “dense protagonist” before.
That genre is cancer though, not trash, but regardless, the point still stands: their standards are too high. People like them are why I don’t read comments or reviews anymore on novels I am reading for the first time.
