Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~ Chapter 124 Discussion

Is there a tag for "passive protagonist"? Because that's what this protagonist is. He goes where he's told, does what he's told, and while he's at it if someone needs help he helps them.

Every single member of his harem is only there because he gets drugged into into for the first time (after that, they still have to make the first move to get any action). A few others like him but I assume they'll have to get some drugs to use on him to make him acknowledge them too.

Also, be warned that large amounts of chapters follow Reiji's harem members. At one point there are over ten chapters in a row of side chapters that have little or nothing to do with the protagonist.

Seeing as I rated it 4/5, you should be able to tell that these didn't bother me too much, mainly because the protagonist being passive is an actual weakness and not something people like him for. And I skipped over the long series of side chapters without missing anything in the main story. Other than that, the protagonist is likeable in spite of (because of?) his flaws, there's plenty of action and intrigue in the story, and the antagonists (some of them people close to Kuroki) aren't all s*upid or cartoonishly evil.

Most importantly, I want to know what happens next, which is rare for a web novel after 100 chapters.
