My main issues with this novel is that the romance feels fairly forced. Especially since the main character is incredibly afraid of interacting with other people, almost incel levels of not liking people. It's just quite strange that he almost immediately just let's it happen to him. Then boom we are in traditional isekai territory, can I have your ticket please. It's actually something I hate about a lot of Japanese writing. They start off with a interesting premise, then, don't stick with it fully. Almost immediately going back to stereotypes after lightly playing with the actual interesting bits. Frustrates me incredibly, although it's quite strange I see this in Japanese writing more so than others. Maybe it's just because Japanese stereotypes are incredibly overbearing and obvious most of the time so I actually notice it? But I am not sure.Edit- I came back because I was bored, he sticks with the premise, but wants him to have a harem. So the first waifu is what confused me. It still feels like complete f*cking whiplash, but I guess I was wrong. The only thing is, the context does not really make it better. I mean the dude has s*x with her on the first date shouldn't be compatible with edgy no no I don't like contact with people man. Death Stranding did a better romance in that respect and its "Death Stranding".
