It would be bad if Cecil and I get on good terms here… In the game, Cecil and the hero and up together… If I go and mess that up by getting along with her, that route could be crushed. I might end up robbing her of her happily ever after. In the game she dumps Noah shortly after entering the academy. I guess I'd better make her hate me here and now.
God forbid she actually makes her own decisions, Noah himself only knows what's the best for her, after all.
This isn't kindness, he just treats her as a puppet without any agency of her own. He's treating Cecil as a character locked into a script rather than a person capable of making her own choices.
What's particularly troubling is how he frames this manipulation as an act of kindness, when he's actually just imposing his will on her future. Noah claims to be protecting Cecil's "happily ever after," but is really just playing god with her life based on his assumptions about what's best for her.

This always annoys me in stories like this one. This, and the eternally dense protagonists :shamihuh:

I agree with you but just saying ,in cases of reincarnation into games, the protagonist knows what will happen in the future(or they thought). So it is kinda sensible compared to cases where such acts are done based on speculations.

Sooo.... She CAN"T make choices on who she marries, BUT, she CAN decide to break off the engagement, because his character was a jerk in the original story and she fell in love with the hero...
Hmmm, yes, nothing like forced political marriage, without the forced bit.
Not that I am complaining or anything, forced marriage (or sometimes marriage at all) is stupid to begin with, but that's an entirely different matter.

Fair enough to him not being able to just grab her butt. I don’t think it’s a Japanese isekai protagonist thing, it’s just hard to rationalize “I’m going to grab this girls butt in front of dozens of people and get slapped”

That spin was completely unnecessary tho, your a goddamn muscle maniac, not a ballerina
