Shimotsuki-san Likes the Mob (WN) Chapter 165 Discussion

I actually enjoyed this novel up till 150, not all that much but enough to kill time. Maybe a 4 stars if I'm feeling generous. But holy f*ck everything after that is utter garbage.

Honestly none of the characters in the novel were likable to begin with. Shimotsuki was good I suppose although she had her own flaws. Everyone else however, was somewhat unlikeable. ESPECIALLY the 3 NTRed heroines. In the chapters after 150 however, it gets so much worse

Ryuzaki, or the 'Main Character' who everyone falls in love with, used to be an antagonistic figure that really just seems like he doesn't mean any harm and somewhat pitiful. Of course we always rooted for the more likable 'Mob character' or the actual MC.

After chapter 150, I'm convinced Ryuzaki is by far, the better person of the 2. And that the MC is a hypocritical, pretentious POS who deserves to rot in hell

It's rather understandable but the MC sh*t talks Ryuzaki throughout the first 150 chapters. About how Ryuzaki unconsciously mistreats and hurts people who love him with his cowardice. And then after 150, he proceeds to do what Ryuzaki did. On a much worse scale.

Not only that, this guy had a perfect GF supporting him for 150 chapters and plenty of character development. Monologues about how he must make his GF happy etc.

And yet, this intolerable mofo almost falls for someone else. Why? They took advantage of his trauma.

You must be thinking. Wow, that's gotta be some deep-seated, dark sh*t the MC went through.

No

The MC got traumatized. BECAUSE HIS MOTHER CALLED HIM A DISAPPOINTMENT.

BRUH. This f*cker got 150 chapter's worth of character development and monologues about how he mustn't make certain mistakes. But then proceeds to make those very same mistakes and develop a character flaw even the (according to him) 'pathetic' Ryuzaki would shrug off like it was nothing.
