Alright, so I've gone through the raws, so here's a warning: things only get worse from this point forward. If you were hoping for the main character to become more witty or charming, that doesn't happen. This isn't the story I had in mind, and I'm extremely disappointed with what I've read up until chapter 58/77. The romance quickly turns ridiculous, and the people surrounding him are quite unpleasant.
I've lost interest in finishing the story; it became repetitive and boring, lacking any substantial development. The plot just becomes increasingly melodramatic. Despite their history and his love for Saori, his childhood friend who played a manipulative role in his past, he rejects her. It's not due to her actions, but her inability to move on and assume he still needs her. She even uses Michiru to get close to him, monopolizing his attention. It's disheartening how much mistreatment the protagonist receives.
The harem aspect falls apart when the main character's goal is to make Assharuto (my nickname for Haruto) like her. Then, she brings up his past love, revealing she never truly loved him and preferred her other childhood friend. Haruto admits his feelings for Michiru, but she (supposedly) confesses she likes someone else.
From that point, I can't take the series seriously anymore. The main character's lack of genuine interest doesn't stop her from纠缠, and he constantly mediates between her and the other girls, leading me to question if he ever really liked her. Honestly, with the current direction, it seems like everyone will end up unhappy, Haruto might develop feelings for another guy, or the harem will fail due to the lackluster character development. None of these outcomes seem engaging, and I've decided it's just not worth continuing. Initially, I thought I'd enjoy more stories like this with a clever protagonist, but if this is the quality, reading it feels like self-torture now. Overall, I'd rate this 6 out of 10 for the initial potential, but the rest is disappointing. I'll be adding this to my do-not-read list.
