Shimotsuki-san Likes the Mob (WN) Chapter 114 Discussion

I tried to like this, but I can't

For some reason, the author is obsessed with the phrase "I'm a mob" and used it so frequently it's jarring. I know you're a mob character, I wish you'd stop saying that 400 phrases ago

Beyond that, the story is mostly hero's pathetic love story where the girls left him due to reasons and stick with the "main character" instead. Hero bemoans this fact over

And over

And over

And over

And over

And over

And over again

Which really feels less like tension building and more like pathetic lamentations. It's normal for someone to have low self esteem but honestly this is going way way way too far.

Which makes reading this novel way worse because the story itself really isn't that great. The hero has nothing going for him beyond "well I dislike the main character so you will do instead"
