Honestly, I feel there are two ways to read it, either as a normal romcom, in which case you're likely to hate it, or as a story where each character is extremely exaggerated as if a parody of other novels.

The story itself leaves quite a lot to be desired, really, the only worthy moments are between the MC and FMC. However while in Parts 1 and 2 the MC had some will of his own, however in Part 3 he was basically just a stringless puppet going along with whatever, and there was little character growth.

The FMC, whilst the best character by far, (it's not really a high bar), seems to be carrying a heavy burden of not having fully "revealed herself" yet, hopefully, whatever turn the story takes it's a good one.

The "hero" is honestly a piece of shit, and the story can't give the guy a rest, he's been "defeated" and discarded at almost every turn and here we are, in the beginnings of a redemption arc.

The "sub heroines" are also inherently weird, with only the little sister having any "justification" for her initial attitude towards the MC. Don't read this if you expect either just fluff (there's quite a bit of it between MC and FMC but those moments aren't that long), or if you expect minimal realism or cohesion, at any point who knows, a random girl can come in out of nowhere and throw whatever story or progression you had up on its head.

All in all, everyone in this novel needs mental help as soon as possible, honestly, none of them are sane.
