You really think manga represents the majority of the population, let alone niche manga like this?

This is not the only WN / LN / Manga / Anime to follow these tropes. These are as common as octopus-shaped hot dog sausages in your bento.

Look at Hollywood. Do you believe that's an accurate representation of America? This is fiction.

These days, America is weirder than fiction ;-) I'm too scared to go visit now...

I mean, you should just never visit anywhere then. Because you can find out some of the craziest things in every country and decide that you do not want to go anymore. Might as well just stay in your bubble where you 'know' what it is like.

Fiction is fiction for a reason. So people can write stories they want. Some authors just copy and paste templates. If you're going to visit as a tourist, most countries are fine. If you decide to LIVE in those countries, different story.

TBH i find most fictional Hollywood to be a bleached version of real USA. It's far more dirty and bad....So you made a bad a statement.
Media on average tries to portray the better sides or castrated corners of the country.
There are some rarer movies that portray the gritty part. TV series though can be a little bit more detailed but they also show us not the whole picture but just elements of the truth.
Japanese "herbivore" men epidemic or hikikomoris is the real thing that is being talked about in their parliament and news medias in Japan.
Incidentally they are also the biggest consumers of manga/anime thus most mangas and animes (+novels) are being produced for them........

So this statement made by Lews_Beast if kinda factual it's a trend and the problematic part of Japanese male population increased if compared to 10 or even 20 years.

If it was just this or even a few like this, you would have a point, but as others have already said, stories like this one aren't outliers anymore, they've become so common that they're now practically mainstream Japanese fare.

Of course it's all fictitious, but when certain themes keep getting reused by a certain group, there's probably a meaning behind it. For whatever reason, emasculated-doormat-self-insert MCs are extremely popular in Japan, such that they willingly spend their hard earned money to keep the trend going and experience it again in new forms. It's the same with Hollywood and how they keep churning out the same Americaman-to-the-rescue schlock; because it sells (and because it's effective propaganda). The former isn't any cringier than the latter, but at least the latter is easier to understand since humans generally want to feel good, whereas Japan's cuck fantasy trend is the polar opposite, and it only starts making sense when you look deeper at their culture and see the underlying issues that their population contends with, thus resonating with their target audience, which clearly is not the world at large. But since various forms of Japanese literature have been actively marketed overseas, it's inevitable that stuff like this and others like the self-destructively-stupid "kind" MC tropes also get seen by people outside of their target demos, and ends up influencing how we see them.

Weird - senpai probably invited her to that party and tried to rape her. He uses his good-guy facade to lure in his prey, then get them high.

I think Fumi got raped that’s why she is so mentally unstable and acting like a crazy girl from pure trauma. I just PRAY that the childhood friend doesn’t go through this too.
