@sirflimflam There's a lot of series out there that retain the audience's viewership purely because of how shitty or stupid the MC is. Like people keep reading or watching to see if the protagonist will be able to do something that tops the level of stupidity of his last decision, or to see if maybe he'll do something smart for once. This is definitely one of those series, I'm still waiting for the MC to make a rational decision. It keeps the reader's attention solely because the protagonist pisses them off.
Keep in mind, that the MC is a middle schooler who may or may not be at a stage in life where he doesn't know how to think or feel about anything emotionally. But yeah, you'd think after getting your teeth pulled out, arson, and the whole two personality thing in the first place, even a middle schooler would be intelligent and mature enough to nope the fuck out
