Dude lives in modern Japan. His entire problem is that there was a guy in his school that's smarter than him. He couldn't beat the smarter guy. So goes into this weird self pity cycle just because he couldn't beat this smart dude by studying. This is his entire shtick."There are some hard mode players like no cheat and peasant starters, but as I was already in hard mode in my previous life, I want to have fun and be a cheerleader in this life."
He is not an African child soldier in Burkina Faso, a kidnapped war orphan in Ukraine, a displaced Syrian civil war refugee nor a eastern european kid used for videos by organized crime. His "hard mode" life is studying for exams in Japan. Protagonist is completely unlikeable by chapter 3. Then he goes and doubles down on that by lusting over a 6 years old.
