I see where your coming from ngl but there is another girl who got stolen from the douche a while back and she’s one of the recurring girl characters in the novel, I just think it’s a bit sad the mc was brought to the brink of sucidie of a girl he was not even dating or confessed to, sure there was the bullying but that just shows how weak willed Mc is and I see where the author was trying to do but it’s Japan and everything has a trope so they must go along with it and not do anything different. I was just really pissed they always add intercourse at the start to the females but the mc never does it to get revenge nor even with his current love interest witch is the FMC in this, the intercoruse was done willingly aswell by the childhood friend and the douche wasn’t even that bad. It’s fiction aswell but I just hate the Tepid wimp MC trope it’s getting real annoying and I’m starting to slowly favour douches/Antagonist’s over them if they don’t start growing a pair. I just wish the mc in this learned u have to be more confident or else they will get stolen away and in the novel it never happens he stays tepid/ weak for a long long time but what can I do? I’m just a reader and there’s nothing to read with my preferences so I waste my time reading shit like this
I'm just saying you keep focusing on the MC being "tepid and weak", and that's fine, but you're focusing on the wrong things.
The MC isn't even the "MC", he's simply the catalyst character for the
real story to kick off, namely his bullies getting their lives ruined.
Yes, there's a romance element between Eiji and Ai, but that's almost just a side story so you know he has a happy life after almost taking it due to what he'd been put through. But he and Ai are
not the true focus point of the plot.
It's all about the revenge/"justice" wrought upon Miuyki and Kondo and all the others who were wrapped up in the bullying campaign. Their downfall is the story. Fullstop.
Keep focusing on your dislike for Eiji and you'll keep missing the actual intent of the author--the consequences that befall the bad guys.
And the sex is important to set that all up, because without it Miyuki doesn't become the antagonist she needs to be. Eiji not having sex is irrelevant, because
he is irrelevant once the bullying ends, because his romance with Ai isn't the point.
