... ..Wonder if Sayaka's parents are dark-haired?

the mc on this one is quite bad , there's a limit on how socially inept you can be.

 

[dokidoki]

I'm hoping that the MC eventually goes to tournaments and is actually REALLY dam good at games with how much he likes fighting games, I think it would be cool as fuck for FMC to be good at fighting IRL and MC to be good at virtual fighting hence both fighters but in different ways

No wonder NTR is a thing.

I well and truly hope that the ML actually grows as a person.

Him being a lazy gamer addict who's apparently a huge disappointment to his mother does mean there's a lot of potential trajectory to turn his life around and improve himself as a person, but I don't want to get my hopes up this early in (though, nor do I want to simply write him off when it's only the 2nd chapter).

The FL seems rather emotionless, as well; I kinda suspect we won't be getting her internal narrative or POV (at least for a good while yet), so I'm guessing the play is that she'll be the "mysterious cool beauty" and it'll be entirely the ML who gets visibly flustered and awkward.

I just hope he has an established friend group at school and that he's actually somewhat studious/has decent grades. If the author's leaning into him being a total fuckup who went all-in on gaming and has become an unsociable loser...well, that's a bit too well-trodden of a trope build for MCs of these sorts of stories to give me much hope for the title as a whole.

Please let the ML be dimensional as a character, in effect. Either have friends, or be decent in school,
or have latent athleticism from his earlier years of martial arts stuff, or have his gaming addiction actually provide money via streaming or similar.

Hopefully he's not a cardboard cutout self-insert whose only "narrative plot armor" is the fact that the school darling FL is his childhood friend, and is otherwise unremarkable with no intention for character growth other than "the FL inexplicably always having been in love with him without his ever knowing", or something.



But again, only the second chapter. So we will have to wait and see.

yeah he really looking like the self-insert for the loner gamer who's a total disappointment. The FL has potential but if the ML doesn't grow this is gonna a be rough read.

Don't worry, he will improve a lot.
He will become even more unlikable.

I'm a raw delver using mtl that's what I predict only.

......... Am i reading a different manga? I don't get what makes the ML unlikable.

Exactly what I’m thinking. He’s a kid that plays video games instead of sports? Wow stop the presses! He’s such an unlikeable loser!

Maybe they’re forgetting he’s in school and not a NEET. Only thing that is a concern is him not volunteering to help around the house. Like clearly if the mom is insistent enough he does work. It’s ok. A small, understandable and regular flaw. Perfect characters are boring

I don't dislike the ML. Though TBF, that's how I was when 15. Minus cute childhood friend, of course.

However, I do expect him to have some kind of development in the future. Finger crossed.
