This series was very fun to read because not only the protagonist's personality was vibrant, the heroines personalities were also just as vibrant. Each character started off being pieced together with a character trope checklist, but as things were slowly fleshed out as the story developed, their histories slowly revealed, and how the influence of the protagonist affected and changed them, they became these dynamic personalities that are much harder to describe yet easy to understand and sympathize with. All in all, wonderful characters and intricate relationships and interactions with each other. The enjoyment was also due to the comedy, making the series more for laughs and enjoying the sight of the good ol' overpowered protagonist simply beating the hell out of the villains to overcome different obstacles. It's not always grim and dark, there is a nice balance.

What I don't like about the series is how, for the romance aspect of the story, the protagonist withholds his decision not even until the end of the main story, but dragged on over to the extra chapters. I really dislike this kind of thing, a protagonist just dragging romantic decisions just because he can't make a decision. This is after he has received multiple confessions already, and he has already kissed different heroines already. That is why I would've at least expected him to make a decision at the end of the main story if not during the main story. That would've been fine. But nope, the protagonist just had to continue dragging his decision, continuing to cut the time where we could've instead enjoyed more scenes of meaningful romance if he did make his decision early. I very much love romance and harem is good too, but his indecisiveness just really puts me off from giving it a higher rating than it should've had. And worst of all, it was written in a way that the protagonist wasn't making a life-changing decision, he was making a life-or-death decision for a harem. The author really forced their hand rather than building a mutually sincere romantic relationship between the protagonist and the heroines. The follow-up is a saving grace: when the protagonist made his decision, he really went through with it to the end to lead all the heroines he held responsibility for to their happy endings.
