Shimotsuki-san Likes the Mob (WN) Chapter 33 Discussion

First time making a review, I hope I can do it well.....

I have been reading half world speaking sh*t of the MC (mob) since apparently the "MC", who NTR his "girls", step on him and he doesn't fight back. So I decide to read to see what is really going in the novel and let me tell you, I realize that there are many people don't understand what they are reading, even though they are reading it. Or rather they can't conprehend what they have just read.

-The MC (mob) is only faking getting stepped on since he has plan. Is a solid plan to win against the "MC", though in my opinion the MC (mob) has already won, it's just he hasn't noticed yet.

Spoiler

He is playing the part of a "mob who tries to get close to the heroine but apparently always fails" in front of the "MC". While in secret he and the heroine are getting along very well. Yep, is the behind scenes approach and the "MC" doesn't notice a damn and he allows it since he believe he can't lose, he doesn't notice that the heroine despise his very existance. An outstanding move.

-The NTR part is well, from my point of view: there is no NTR as NTR. It may look like that since the MC (mob) was hurt by it but that was his own misunderstanding.

Spoiler

The girls he was close with never like him as a person of the opposite s*x. In fact, one of them didn't think of him as a human for some reason. He just realized when the "MC" came and the girls start fawning on him. It would have happened with any other guy the girls have found charming.

This part wasn't well done. It needed to have more depth (opinion).

-The MC is a mob, a normal guy who is average, dull if we are being mean. He is not special, like the majority of us, so asking him to be able to deal with an apparently MC straight out from a romcom is too much. He is dealing with him but he is doing it in the way he can and the best way he can think of. People need to be more tolerant, well there are limits to everything. Now I said the enemy is apparently straight out from a romcom but honestly he is more a playboy who got choosen to be on the role of a romcom MC.

Spoiler

He even flirts with the teacher in public. He doesn't reject the advances of the girls besides the heroine but still throw them away when the heroine is involved.

[collapse]

The only trait that I can see he has of a romcom MC, besides being oblivious, is the fact the girls are fawning for him for no apparent reason. Generally, MC of romcom are average guys who are "kind", with different levels of denseness (depending of the plot), there is no way they will do the things this "MC" does unless the girls are the ones forcing it. There are exceptions to that but normally in romcoms the MC are like that. Unless the times (trends) are finally changing.

-The other girls, the ones close to the MC (mob), besides the heroine are a bunch of idiots. Sometimes I wonder if they were posseded by something the moment the "MC" came to them.

Spoiler

What was that of not considering the MC (mob) as a human just because she wasn't capable of knowing what was he thinking? Spending the night on the "MC" as well? Even though she has one and there is no need for her to do so? The other girls are similarly as well.

[collapse]

I'm really happy that none of them won't end up with the MC (mob) no matter what, in retrospective that guy did him a favor.

I won't say it's the best novel out there but one need to read carefully so one can comprehend what one's is actually reading.
