because opting for the super passive-aggressive holier-than-thou route makes you look so much more mature
It wasn't about maturity. I wanna argue but i would fail the one fucking thing I decided not to when I closed reddit for good.

It is damned if you damned if you don't.

I am conflicted now but it is a lot more pleasant than the days I used to argue with these kind of people.

Then arguably you failed the moment you went making vague self-indulgent comments in the first place.

All you did was make yourself sound like you think you're better than people you won't even directly engage, and even now you're still trying to run away while claiming some indeterminate high ground. That's not "damned if you do, damned if you don't", because the actual answer was just scrolling past or closing the browser window without typing anything at all.

Treading the halfway point like this with the "oh, let me declare just how much I can't be bothered" attitude you're exhibiting just comes across as pretentious, and arguably cowardly as you're acting like it's not worth your time to argue, but it is worth your time to carry on about it.
Either actually respond with your thoughts and opinions and engage with others on the merit of whatever position you hold, or simply lurk. No one would even know to fault you for it, and you don't come off as silly and attention-starved in the process.

I think mc is okay

Kazuki is fine.

Arguably, he's a better romantic co-lead than the usual fare for these titles, wherein he'd be just another nondescript bland "background character" who somehow pulls the hot perfect idol babe because he was nice to her once when they were kids and she never forgot it while he goes most of the story without knowing they have history. Storywriting-wise, he's leaps and bounds more interesting as a character.
As a person, he's just a moody teenager who would arguably be a bit exhausting to put up with (look at his mother for reference), but even then we have a solid "now vs. then" motif showing who he was when younger, a hint as to what happened to make him the shut-in, avoidant person he is at present, and we have a path toward him growing past this attitude as he gets over himself (likely with the help of Sayaka).

The only thing that would ruin this is if the author doesn't have Kazuki meaningfully confront himself and the way he's become and make changes to himself. If he stays this lazy, insular & avoidant person and still gets "rewarded" with Sayaka as a girlfriend without addressing the obvious character flaws he's been presented with, then I think it's fair to criticize his character and the author's handling of him.

But we're nowhere near the point where that could be assumed to be the case, so it's not worth thinking about, here and now.
