Ok, I'm just gonna mention the stepsister's treatment of the MC, how he handles that, and how it builds into the overall reason as to why I don't like the way he obsesses over those girls:
- She literally said, "oh wow, so you are human". What do you mean by that? how did you see your clearly human brother before that? then after that obviously insane remark, MC just shrugs it off (I'm cool with that), but still treats her kindly despite that (not cool with that). And to make matters worse, after the stepsister says such s*upid things, and disassociates herself from her stepbrother (our mc), virtually treating him like some sort of stranger, she had the balls to say "please help me onii-chan". tf? why are you trying to cater to him by saying oniichan now?
how selfish of a wench must you be to think that you can take advantage of your stepbrother when it's to your own convenience. oh, but if that wasn't enough... it just gets worse. you'd think the MC would try and stop caring about her. You know, I understand, you're a nice dude! BUT EVEN NICE DUDES HAVE THEIR LIMITS! after the way she treated you, you'd expect him to retaliate in some way. he did... for like a second, and then folded, and helped her. I'm sure the MC stepsister is also aware of how he's being treated by the other 2 girls, but just doesn't care, cause love is blind, right?

It's really selfish, and I wish the MC would just ignore her or something, just a wish-fulfillment of mine to be honest. But, I will affirm something (if I hadn't mentioned already), the mc's stepsister likes Ryouma, because she used to have an older brother figure who died, I believe. After that, she was taken in and cared for by Nakayama and his family. Then, during a high school ceremony, she found that Ryouma looked exactly like him (her now-deceased older brother), and decided, hey? even though I have a stepbrother who treated me with love and kindness after a tragic event, I'm just gonna stick to Ryouma because he looks like my real onii-chan, and completely neglects the person that got me out of a tragic event simply because he doesn't look like him. Even if Ryouma treats me like garbage, I will still like him.
If I may be so bold to say, shallow. and then, pushover MC just decides to ignore her shallowness and still try to be kind to her.
Now, with all that out of the way, time for the biggest reason as to why I don't like the way he handles these situations.
The girls at this point have just treated him like garbage, (to reiterate, the feats I mentioned just then were only the stepsisters doing), and he's still as kind as ever. At this point, it's safe to assume he has unconditional affection for those three girls at this point, Despite being treated like tr*sh. Now... I mention this because...
He actually, after all that, the way he's been betrayed, and ignored, still has the capacity to get JEALOUS over Ryouma after interacting with those girls. Because he's still so kind to them, therefore having affection for them, he gets JEALOUS. I don't necessarily mind the emotion of jealousy when shown, I just find it kinda pathetic is all. But this, MC! THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS! WHY ARE YOU GETTING JEALOUS FOR GIRLS WHO METICULOUSLY TRAMPLE ON YOU FOR, TREAT YOU LIKE tr*sh, WHY?
sigh, anyway, hopefully, it gets better in the future so I can rate this 5 stars.
[collapse]However, the light novel exclusive MC is, to be honest, a much better alternative in my opinion. The same events happened, however, the way he handles it in my opinion is much better. so, I'm gonna go read the light novel and rate it 5 stars. see ya
