Just wanted to tell that i dropped it at 14ch. And once a year check on spoilers, i fear it will be the same shit storm as rental girlfriend so just to uncover what's the deal with FMC and his friend without needing to invest time and energy.
I agree with you and your statements. And people who say MC's is weak....Kinda agree but then more than half of male population is weaker. I think it's admirable that he didn't go full throttle with her but he was too weak willed and minded to clear the mystery. Also despite her multiple advances he does the bare minimum to reject her.
So the notion of trying to make him a bad guy isn't quite good since he isn't good to begin with.
Though tbh, there would be less manga and content (i think around 60-70% less) if authors would make genuine good people. Good doesn't mean weak willed and doormat who helps everyone. Good means taking every action not to cause harm and activity to resolve it as fast as possible. He doesn't do any of above stated things.
Normally, he would force questions upon this girl, if she still plays the fool then speak to your friend. If both of them play the fool, you just lost 2 pieces of shit not worth being your friends. <-- Though this mentality comes later in life naturally (though some kids also understand that friends can be just a pit-stop in your life).
