Smack-dab in the middle of class, a small group indulged shamelessly in sickly affection without considering just how inconvenient and annoying it was to everyone else. This situation was known to all as the “school’s harem.”
One day, Shinji lost it after hearing a particularly irritating remark from the guy at the center of that harem. He then verbally beat that obliviously annoying dude and his collage of annoying girls.
Upon witnessing this, one of the harem heroines took an interest in him. Thus began a mysterious and unconventional romcom, defiant of all logic and evidence.
If it's dropped then is there an ending?
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.
"Extremely positive sentiment with a hint of conflicting emotions. The translation stands out as exceptional for MTL (Machine Translation). The story initially impresses with its uniqueness, resembling a gem breaking free from conventional norms. However, it tends to follow a more conventional path after a few chapters. Despite this, the consistently high standard ensures ample enjoyment.
Characters are well-developed, with a protagonist who attempts to suppress his feelings for the greater good, which can be slightly frustrating. But in today's landscape where many light novels are weighed down by excessive complexity, this offers a refreshing change of pace.
FL and 2FL are characters I particularly enjoy, with their backstory being thoughtfully executed. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this work."
