It's a bit different. Basically, in Kaguya-sama, he tried to teach certain love/life lessons to the audience. And when he started actually having those pay off, the Japanese audience threw tantrums that showed they hadn't absorbed anything he was trying to teach them and he seemed to actually...

I think it's written from a very genuine place, but also a very frustrated one. His ideas didn't get through in Kaguya-sama, because many readers had fallen in love with concepts he wanted to condemn and he'd taken too long to condemn harshly enough. So yeah, so far this story has been feeling...

Well, it is abrupt and condescending, yes. Nanto reads as Aka's own self-insert to be understood by anyone familiar with the mentality here. I don't really think any of this is about the characters. Seki, Mari, the whole lot of them, are extremely shallow. They're more literary devices to...

I think you have that backwards. Seki isn't the MC, he's the male lead, and plainly written with the thought in mind that the audience, and the author, is more like Nanto than like him. He basically just exists to be a popular cool guy, and show they aren't assholes but admirable. Basically...

"口うるさい" on page 16 doesn't translate to "super loud", but actually refers to Miyuki's "nagging" personality. https://www.weblio.jp/content/口煩い

Mostly good, but some small issues. The "裏" in 裏主人公 and 裏ヒロイン doesn't mean "secret". It just means "other side", not unlike how "B-side" would be understood in English when there's something of a split narrative. Examples of 裏主人公 are Reiner from SnK and Sasuke from Naruto. "ヤな奴" in Miko's...
