I think the issue with MC is that he's super duper clever and tuned into people's emotions but not whenever those emotions are about liking the MC. It's kinda weak character writing. Story wants the MC to be clueless but not at the same time so it's not as bad that he's kinda two-timing these girls almost right in front of their faces.That makeover is a significant downgrade and also… I think I hate the MC? He sucks? So maybe this one’s not for me.
