I Gave Up on Conquering the Heroines Chapter 130 Discussion

01) What the story is about?

MC into game character where he needs to either:

A) Kill the final boss

B) Conquer the 3 heroines at the same time (reach 95% affection)

However, he can't reach 100% with any of them first or he will be forced to re-start. While having 0 talent to fighting/magic beside broken class he has subpar stats. So he try for 12 years to the harem route, which he fails.

The story claim that because the 3 are "too paranoid". But in fact is because they are the obsessed yandere type that will use their power keep him, in fact one of them will false accuse him of trying to r*pe her so the police is set to arrest him and is implied that the other 2 aren't too far in the possessiveness.

System glitch and he has just 1 last run, which he decide to try to kill the last boss is easier. From there is a relative common "fantasy with knowledge of the future/game strat" story, if anything the MC is slight more interesting as he know relative little of how the RPG part of the game was done, so he has most the story side and his own experience to guide him. In this last run he also become friend with lesser heroines that are more likable and with better interactions. However he need to do while avoiding even crossing the line of sight of any of the 3 heroines, as if one fall for him he will not have another try.

02) Why 3 stars

The story is above average when it come to "fantasy with knowledge of the future/game strat", the plot of the mini-arcs are interesting. The MC interacting with a "f*ck it" personality without being passive all the time is nice, while some of the lesser heroines and their interaction with MC are entertaining enough, that I wouldn't mind give a 4 star.

Maybe 3.5, if I consider how messy the whole fighting/power system is for most of the story, however this part is most irrelevant and done for comedic reasons, but as the chapter move forward the importance seen to increase what make need a more forgiving mindset in how they handle it, specially with the fighting/magic talent of the MC compared to everyone else it does get tiring when it also doesn't reflect the reality.

The main heroines that should be the main selling point are just terrible, during the whole story he is working around their many redflags and presented as irrational obsessive and while they have interesting backstory they are just drowned by how they are portraited. That I guess if you like yandere girls might be your thing.

Setting in a way that the MC need to avoid them because the risk of triggering one of the 1 girl conquest route, while they get more and more unhinge is just tiring.
