FMC is trash. Like the prototype of all trashy girls. I accidently picked it up on a different webpage where it wasn't shown that it was shoujo, my fu%^ing mistake.
Basically FMC competes with MC, be it physically (THE MOST MORONIC THING) and academics, somehow she gets 2nd place in academics and lacks basic understanding that during puberty boys become stronger than girls. But i digress. So she has that competitive spirit, well not really she uses really trashy methods in order to decrease his academical level, alas she doesn't succeed. Her last resort? Confess to him, even though she doesn't like him, in order to tilt him.....Great....Surprise he accepts and even returns her feelings, but what a set back bitch doesn't have feelings for him and actively is being friendly with the other guy......
How to tell that you are reading shoujo, MC's are either psychopathic or massively autistic with 0 emotions, there is always a playful playboy around the corner for some NTR action, which mostly girls (not all women) like. Girl is doing something really trashy and nobody really scolds her or holds her accountable.
In my adult male mind circuits were fuming while reading this. I've shelved it until maybe death comes knocking at my doors.
Be mindful they are 17-18, this behaviour from FMC side is outright trashy and cannot be called childrens games at this age. MC is a different story, how can someone fall in love with such a trashy character? And take shit from them constantly? Yeah I forgot girls fantasy, having a delinquent like playboy type around the corner who can stick in you at any moment (feels like it) and autistic MC who is diligent, almost genius(or genius) who despite her bitchy behaviour still tries to pursue her.
Stark contrast to what normal guys would:
- I like you too!
- Sorry boy, i just wanted to play with your emotions.
- Wow, what a bitch....
- ......
- Never talk to me again.
That's what I consider a more or less normal answer to her actions, what we see:
- I like you too!
- Sorry boy, i just wanted to play with your emotions.
- I still like you, we will not break up.
- Suit yourself (talks with another guy with clear signs that she prefers his company)
(She will be mine soon)
- Let me be clear, I don't like you, it was just my way of trying to sabotage you.
- Doesn't matter i like you.
What girly comics lack most of the time is a male perspective on self respect, most of the authors either are truly ignorant (i know for a fact girls who grew up without fathers tend to lack this knowledge) or malicious, their maliciousness basically contradicts with what male population would tolerate. In whole honesty pubescent boys could literally blow and slap a woman (punch or kick, pick your poison) with similar situation what we see in this shoujo.
Now think of a situation, a girl who lacks any role model or a figure (there are many nowadays it's not like we are throwing 10% of girls under the bus or creating drama bombs, the percentage is much higher) who can tell about boys way of thinking, reads this manwa or many other similar to this one. She gets fake information and fake perception which can turn out quite tragic in the end for both sides. FYI, perverted(in most cases even without perverted tag) shounen harem is the other side of the coin, which i also dislike.
