It's enjoyable, but I really can't sympathise with Raiden, even though I know that the author wants us to.... so I have to drop it.I'm not a big fan of harem, but I can read it so long as it's not annoying or gets in the way of the plot. And I'd rather the MC also make some male friends as well, because it's a little weird if he's surrounded by girls all the time.But back on my first point, I can't sympathise with Raiden's backstory (although I can for the MC's backstory), because I'm not going to lie, everything bad that happened after his mom's death was done by himself. Like I get it, your mom died and that broke you. That's a tragedy. But I can’t feel bad for Raiden, who lashed out at everyone and treated other, unrelated people disgustingly.And then contrasting with Ariel, who, despite losing the same person, had never lashed out to anyone besides Raiden that one time, although that was more of his fault than her's. I can’t understand his actions. I would never do something like treating everyone around me horribly just because I feel depressed.In fact, I despise those kinds of people. Just because you're angry or you're depressed doesn't mean it's right to treat everyone around you with the same anger you would show to the person who treated you that way, especially to innocent people who have nothing to do with your situation. I know several people like that in real life and let me tell you, it's horrible being around them, like you're walking around a ticking time bomb waiting to explode on you for anything you do, especially if it has nothing to do with you.And to be honest, the characters are written a little childishly. The girls don't really have depth, and the only important parts of themselves are related to the MC (so we don't know much about their personal likes/dislikes/dreams etc, unless it relates to MC). This is basically harem 101, where the heroines are brainless as always.I also can't stand some of the dialogue. The comedy is a little jarring and over exaggerated.
