Hoped for more, it was an okay chapter, thanks for translating it.
fully clothed and in all black? Bros just asking for a heat stroke 💔
Is funny for once to see a GUY being fully clothed and nobody berating a girl for not covering up, seriously that trope is so stupid and make Japan look like a middle eastern country where women are shamed into covering up.

but still, don't we look to characters we aspire to be like? Positive roll models? Lofty goals to reach for? At least allow the guy to swim... Or at least not stupid enough to dive in knowing how useless he is...
I don't think this specific case in this story counts for this type of example, cause the protag's many near death events are way too in the realm of slap stick comedy to be taken seriously.

Author for some reason just wants to make him a snuff joke.

Now, you mention Kazuya from Rent a Girlfriend and how popular that story is in Japan...

Now THAT fucker makes me seriously have a low opinion of japanese otaku's tastes in stories.

You're right for a lot of stories, but romances are a little different. By putting yourself in the protagonist shoes you can live his romance by proxy, and that's why these kinds of protagonist are EVERYWHERE only in romances.

At least, that's what seems like the point to me, I also don't understand that actually.

I really liked that, but it doesn't seem the author has been trying to make those in a LONG while.
I could say the last one was with the mother and the axe, chapter 31, 6 chapters ago, but it wasn't like the ones the author started with, before then we already saw a similar joke with Momo and the knife all the way back in chapter 24.

I dunno, the more I think about it, the weaker is all becoming
almost no progress
no more fake snuff joke
At least the art is still looking great.

Sometimes, his absolute failure as a human does get irritating... Why does Japan constantly promote these useless beta wimps as positive role models?
Mangadex is giving it almost a 9 rating but my best guess is that the bulk of it was from the time both were more assertive. This dumbfuckery should lower it over time.

Give it time and, unless it gets the axe, we will get the misunderstood confession too.
