There could have been potential in the setting, but it just wasn't used at all.Rather than becoming friends or falling in love properly, the only reason the FL takes any interest in the MC is that she has superhuman hearing to the point of hearing a heartbeat and even "feelings". And just after being woken up once, she's pointlessly aggressive in establishing a friendship or relationship whenever they're alone.Meanwhile the MC and who he perceives as the "harem protagonist" enter a contest of who's the bigger idiot. The "harem protagonist" is pointlessly confident but also insensitive and oblivious and the MC is too far gone into this "I'm a mob character" mentality and can't even properly reply to a conversation. And that's not mentioning that he has some insane resentment towards the harem protag for getting along with several girls when he had feelings for all of those girls in the first place and never did anything about them.I don't know if you need mental problems to like this novel or mental strength to ignore all its faults, but if you're looking for a regular romance novel, this isn't it.
