Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine Chapter 292 Discussion

I was sleeping on this novel for a long time because the initial plot (speculating on a buggy MMO item) just felt too outlandish, but surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. It's certainly a slow burn Spoiler

(no assassin/mercenary kings, no martial artists, no cultivators as of yet 140 chapters in)

[collapse], but overall it's very solid, MC acts normal, girls are fun, side characters are not completely forgettable, system 'random' rewards are very convenient as always.

Edit: actually nevermind, this novel is terrible. Just 2 chapters made me lose all respect for both MC and author. Spoiler

Author confessed around ch. 200 that reception was poor and he wants to quickly wrap up the novel and it kind of feels. Many subplots get abandoned and only one last protagonist kind of wanders around doing nothing.

The worst thing was MC learning that blackened protagonist wants to SA andor kill his lovers and deciding he will do absolutely nothing about it. Protagonist was in the vicinity for days under surveillance, he no longer has halo protection and MC has overwhelming advantage in numbers and combat strength. And MC decides to do nothing, all until 2 of his lovers fight to the death with the protagonist, one being captured and another barely running away after severe beating. All these days MC was acting smug and claiming all is part of his plan and is under control.

Oh, and there was another worst aspect of his master plan. He knew the target of the protagonist ahead of time. The second highest combat power (after the MC) on his side was Aunt He. It would be complete nobrainer to have her shadow the target. But out genius MC had aunt He protect the invincible himself so that once MC was done playing with ppl sent to stall him, aunt He would take over while MC went to save the beauty.
